Okay, MR Effecto, I'll answer that.
Yes, I do buy props and/or gimmicks. I don't buy props, however, that allow me to do a trick that I've already been doing for nearly 40 years - a trick that doesn't require a prop, never has, and never will. I further don't buy props that are ripped off from other magicians, either. The prop that is the subject of this thread is a particular bonus because it's both needless and ripped off. Instead, I prefer to actually study magic and try to become a better magician through understanding the techniques and methods of what we do and why it works, as well as the psychology of every aspect of this fascinating art, rather than buy yet another Sharpie to do the work for me. But, hey-ho, that's me. Mike. |

Back to the trick. I saw this in person at the Philly penguin expo. It is completely self-contained super easy to do. And slips right back in your shirt pocket. A nearly perfect in fact, if I had one complaint it would be. At some point you need to moisten your finger. Using my tongue kind of freaks me out after shaking hands and touching things so I try to find a glass of water that has moisture on it.

The x incidentally can be put on their hand way ahead of time, even during another trick. I am fortunate to be close friends with mark, the inventor and played with this for literally 5 minutes before I proceeded to fry all my family. Very easy to execute and no issues whatsoever. |

I LOVE this trick. It's so easy to perform and is self contained. I ask them if they know about pirates. Then I do the move as I ask them who their favorite pirate is. I tell them about the treasure map and ask them what they use to show where the treasure is. They say X. I draw X on my hand then close my hand. I say the X on the treasure map moves around so the pirate tricks people into going to the wrong spot. Then I show it disappeared from my hand and goes to theirs. It fries them.

Way ahead of time is a terrible idea. Opinion noted. When I said way ahead of time I didn't mean meet someone, do the move, then 6 months later if I bump into them again, hoping they haven't spotted the X, I'll perform the effect. I meant for instance during a 2 card Monte routine, then at the climax when they reveal the card, tell them to keep their hand where it is, it removes the fact that your have touched them even further from memory. Don't understand why some people are so blunt and somewhat rude. When I say ahead of time, that's because as a working restaurant magician I have done the effect in various ways, and so was giving my feedback. You coming along and shooting down me down is just ridiculous. Perhaps if it was put more tactfully, I take it you are speaking from working experience. Not been on these forums for a while.... Remember why now. Seems to be people trying to her one up on one another. 53rd card of the deck! |

5 mins practise?
Fried everyone? WAY ahead of time? Very easy to execute? No issues whatsoever? It SIMPLY goes back on. No need to ditch. Wow, you're the best. I'm also glad you don't come here often. |

It was stolen, pure and simple. Its a cool effect, and well made. Just not Mark's. |

I'm not getting involved. I just like the effect and have no issues with it. Simple as that.
