I... I mean my wife threw both of my xperts away.... ;(

I am VERY interested. I havent been using mine very much lately but strangly enough have been thinking about doing so again and also wondering if I should maybe get another 3 pack to have back-up! Glad to know that you're still active with it, thanks again!

Hard to believe we are all 10 years older since Xpert arrived on the scene and this thread started!

Terry

Yeah and Im sure Neil is glad his invention is still going strong!

Anyone know if these are still sold anywhere? Penguin comes up on a Google search, but they no longer carry it.

Hang in there, Todsky: the DVD is in post-production, and it will contain much more Xpert material than the original package—including a tutorial on how to make the gimmick so you'll never need to buy a refill. Watch for it at Penguin.

Thanks for the update, Neil. I'll be watching for it.

Wow. Talk about a good memory from the vault. I always wondered why this sort of disappeared over the years.

Just picked up this thread. Sounds interesting!

Isn't this the same gimmick that Justin Miller uses in one of his recent releases? Who came up with it first?

I watched Justin's videos today and had the same thought, have been searching for my Xpert booklet to no avail.

Lumberjohn, it is well documented that the Xpert gimmick is my creation and was marketed globally through Murphy's Magic Supplies in 2003.

Xpert and slip n slide are not the same.
Necromancer came up with something totally diff. Than what I came up with.
The gimmicks are diff. the methods are diff. the routines are diff.
Also, if you lost a slip n slide pen you can make one up in less than 2 min.
So as far as I can see on the info that has been given to me..not the same.

Count me in as well for being interested enough in Xpert to find a 10 year old thread an read through it. I started by looking into Fearson's Intuition System but this sounds much better. I don't want to carry around a deck of cards to actually write on all the time.

So, this just happened today.

In case you missed the above link, the Xpert is now a download-with-gimmick package that includes EIGHT effects PLUS instructions on making your own refills, so you'll never need to be without one of these invaluable devices.

I filmed this two years ago and am so glad to finally see it out there in the world. I hope you like it!

Does the original manuscript from 2003 have different routines from the current version sold with gimmick. And if so. Is it still available .

Hi Baldini,

Everything from the original manuscript is included, and then some.

Best,
Neil

Thanks Neil.
I ordered it from Penguin and watched the download . The problem now is which effect to do first, there are some amazing routines and just as you stated. NO sleights, all very simple. Leaving us to concentrate on performance . Finally, a true advertisement .
On a side note, your web site says if we have the 1st name on a page in the original booklet, we can get more routines. For those of us who only have the new download. Can we gain access.

Regards Dave

Hi Dave,

So glad you like the new, expanded download!

Please disregard my website: the info on it is outdated and needs to be brought up to date. The new routines mentioned there have been incorporated into the current product.

Thanks,
Neil
