Price is fair. I think I spent the same for the Mona Lisa puzzle prediction 10 years ago. I like that it can be broken down (packs flat) and has custom image reveals.
The contents state: * 6 pieces made of acrylic plastic, all held together by magnets * Total of 9 pieces of X's and O's How are the images loaded? What are the system requirements (if electronic/digital)?
I still recall the day I met Beaker from the Muppets. He said to me "Meep, meep, mee mee mee Meep!", and that has made all the difference.

Not expensive enough, if it does what it proposes.
In that regard, I'd like to see a full video performance. Demo video (aside from having a bad audio mix) is slick, but missing a lot of the work. Also confused by the "6 pieces of acrylic...9 pieces of X's and O's" description. Finally - I assume that we provide our own custom artwork for the reveal? e |

A China shop has been selling this type of thing for years, and a thread I joined is here:
http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......orum=109 The main flaw with the one posted on the previous thread is that you cannot trade back and forth with yourself and audience members when doing the X's and O's positions... there are some, what I consider, obvious cheats going on. In fact, I purchased it used several months ago and the accompanying insutructions indicated you place a tile in a certain position no matter what the audience member calls out. Now, I worked with the methodology for weeks on how to do it "fairly," alternating the choices with the audience members, and it's tough, but I found a way. The work gets even tougher making sure the tiles all line up correctly for the back image to be orientated correctly. Again, it can be done, but it's a lot of work. Perhaps this new version allows this to happen much easier. Perhaps not. I will be interested in a review when available. I can say this new version looks more sturdily constructed. The version I have uses a metal grid that must be assembled, and the tiles are made of a cardboard like material with magnets covered (not very well) with border tape. Also, you must provide your own image to mount yourself from a local or online printer. |

The Tic Tac Toe format makes it universal as well.
My cheapest puppet cost more than the stage version of this trick. I'll buy if I know the back end requirements meet the resources I currently have. If all that is required is a laptop to program the image (if that is how it works) then I'm set. But, if it requires an IPhone X with a specific IOS then... not so much. I'm guessing above and have no real understanding of how this works.

I was already tempted to buy years ago but now even more. This is perfect for corporate but I would love to see a full performance

A little worried now. Watched the demo final reveals and noted a set pattern. The orientation changed but the pattern remained; with a small variation in one row on 2 reveals. Still, not bad but I was hoping for 'free choice' on the tile placements. That is the impossible factor.

Is this just a re-dressing (and ready made props) of the classic Tic-Tac-Toe Prediction made popular by Mark Wilson, Osterlind, and others? I don't say that as a negative - simply trying to understand what this is. It's not an earth-shattering effect but using it as a means to a branded reveal it definitely has it's place. Best, Drew

My main reservation about using this as anything other than a quick impromptu demonstration is the "Google-ability" of the technique...
As others have mentioned - if this ratchets up the impossibility factor than I might jump on board. Best, Drew

Middle row is always OOX/XOO There is a slight variation in the '3rd' row which appears to allow free play without offsetting the image. It may be nothing, but I noticed the pattern.

As mentioned (by a few people), the principle at play on the 'front end,' is well established.
So I suspect that in order to get the 'back end' right, it's just a matter of controlling which piece you select (next) and in which orientation. But I must admit that I am still a tad confused as to just how clean it is. As such, would still like to see a full performance demo. Also - would be very cool if this was a game played between two audience members without the performer's participation. Clearly this would negate the effectiveness of the method in play - but solving this creative challenge might well be worthy of some ponder-time

I think a small close up version would be really cool
