Is this devise safe? Won't it stop your heart or weaken it?
Since you recieved 50% of the shock, won't numerous repeat performances put a strain on your body and basicly make your hair start to stand on end? Brain damage from numerous electric shocks? Steve |

Just FYI, something I discovered with the static shocker (electric touch), is that if you touch someone who has no shoes on, that person will get the crap shocked out of them. I made my own and tested it out in many different settings and discovered this. Have fun with that. btw, I also use it for entertainment purposes other than my own. But, I must admit, there is a tad bit of fun zapping the crap out of someone. I'm a little sick that way I guess. It must be the practical joker in me. Later, fellow Magicians

I think that most of us are familiar with the carnival magician or spiritualist that can light up a standard size florescent tube and set paper on fire with the touch of a finger. They sit in a special chair or stand on a special platform. Does anyone know if ET is a scaled down version of this more spectacular effect?
FYI - When I was in China several years ago I did some magic tricks for the hospital staff. One of the doctors, who evidently had an interest in physics, then showed his stuff by putting cubes of raw meat on two metal skewers. While holding the skewers (one extended from each hand), he summoned all of his magical powers to cook the meat. You could hear the fat crackling as it cooked. He was secretly using 220 V if I remember correctly. Very impressive display for the layman. |

The most comphrensive review and summary for the device. Thank you Tom. Great work.
I also owned the device. A lot of trouble to setup it up in the beginning and very discourage to wait for 5 months. But once setup, it is a great tool. And Tom's right, it is best value for money. I did wonder why so many people sell it soon after the bought it though. |

I'm wondering since I'm on a carpet ..sometimes it works & then sometimes not.is it because a.my power source is dying(they are spose to last 200 shocks) or b. is the connection may be weak even though the little light turns on ?..& I'm not getting the effect from riped up paper that I'm looking for..anyone tha can help?

All I can say is I cannot wait till winter. I live in Chicago and the humidity over here drops to zero around November. As for these summer months; some days it kills, and other days it just don't work very well. Also, some hours of the day it kills, and an hour or two latter I can't even get a shock out of it. Weathers wierd. Overall, I think this is the best purchase I've made in many, many years. If it is not working for you, you just have to know how to perform out of it, not that hard. Make up an excuse and Jump into another trick. A GREAT devise to add to your routine, it will make so many of your effects that much stronger.....'PIZ'

Guys, please don't intersparse tales of people setting fire to things with their hands and cooking meat with 220V - Electric Touch is nothing like that.
While there are higher (much higher!) voltage devices that can approach some of these things, such as a Tesla Coil (which ET is not !) also incur much higher currents, and can be deadly if a mistake is made. ET is not deadly and it won't set fire to anything - at least, not that I've been able to do, but I'd sure like to. Also, don't view it as a gag - it does far far more than just "shock" someone - the static buildup in your body that ET generates can used to perform a myriad of PK type effects. If you want more insight as to how these devices work (Electric Touch is not a new invention !) check my signature for my webpage, which has more detail, explaining what it can do, what it can't, how electricity works, experiments with alignment and positioning, and yes, even how to build your own if you're cheap. ;-) These devices have been around for at least twenty years, but not as widely known until now, thanks to Yigal, whose version is the most polished of them all. By far, this is the most fun I've ever had with a magical utility ! Lastly, I wanted to address the humidity factor - I think maybe this is getting more weight than it deserves; humidty is a factor in the effective strength of ET, but more than likely, if your unit seems to be weak, I would suspect your shoe hookup. The soles have to be good quality rubber, they must insulate you completely from your surroundings. One other thing; when you first get an ET, change the batteries, the stock ones aren't so good. Those two things are more likely to boost your strength.
Just hanging out with the rest of my fellow dregs.

Here is my take on ET, when I am about to perform but the floor is not ceramic or Humid enough, or I had a slight Doubt that my ET will not work with the floor, I just take a Kleenex fold it in to Quarter (you can use Mercury Fold if you're that Fanatic) then dip it wet in a water and Palm it in my left hand(Im a right handed, so you can use your right hand to shake other or what have you), until the moment is come where you can just lay the wet Tissue in the floor, adjust your foot positioning and you can Zapped people all day long, and the Tissue will hapily stuck to your shoes, so you can walk around the room with portable wet tissue to do your ET
I often do this on the Radio, when most of the floor is Carpet, I will choose the Announcer who I think will have the best scream, Curse, yell, etc....when I am on air, I will ask the Announcer to use their imagination (I was billed as A Hypnotist)and put their Imagination in the tip of his finger (make sure his mouth is on the Microphone and its On Air)...then Zap her....I often get people cursing (those Happy moment on Radio).....and when the ET is ON... all the people who use Head Set or Ear Set (Other Announcer, Producer, Operator and Me ) will hear the Buzzing sound in their respective Head Set...I claim it was My Manifestation of my Enery (Nyah...Nyah...Nyah....).....afer this wonderfull moments, I RUN to my VAIO Note Book, go On line and Order 4 more ET....yep....4 more.......I live in far away Country.....I am Professional Performer who perform for a living.....just in case mine is Broke, I still have spare....Now I never Leave Home Without my ET.....Actualy I carry 2 ET everywhere I go, 1 is on me and 1 set with fresh Batterey in my Car Glove Compartment...Just in case...anyone interested to buy 5 ET DVD and ET Asscecories...do PM me does anyone can solve the problem...what if your ET Broke? Did Yigal can repair it???? How LOng???? |

I just got the ET, and I'd really like to find out how to use the PETs setup. Can someone help me with this? Also, I've gathered that there's some kind of secret forums for the ET, where can I get access to this, and on what site? Thanks,
Michael |

As a new owner of ET, I would love to be a part of the secret ET forum. If anyone knows where it is, and how I can become a part of it, please PM me.
Also, I read on the Café about some alternative setup for the shoes. Please PM me those instructions if you have them, as my "pro" setup is not working out. Brian Lehr |
