Was on the fence about this becuase of a similar effect that came out and flopped a few years back by Rocco but I think I'm gonna push the button.

Just got off the phone with Chad Long who told me all the contention that is being bandied about with Double Cross. Well, are you ready for even more scuttlebutt? Chris Smith and I were partners twenty years ago and this idea, called "The X'r," was from our project board way back then! No, I didn't make the "X" translocate from my hand to their hand. But I did have the idea of an "X" that gets transferred to the spectator's palm via a stamp. There were two methods: A) An ink pad on my finger. B) A self-contained ink pad in the Sharpie -- just like the Super Sharpie that Chris "borrowed" from me many years ago.

I've never mentioned it publicly before since I shy away from controversy until it hits me square in the face, but the primary reason I split my partnership with Chris about ten years ago was that his hands were much too sticky where they didn't belong for far too long.

Granted, Gary Jones very well might have thought of this trick independently. He's a very clever chap. And now, unfortunately, he has to experience the same stinging pain of betrayal that I have from Chris NUMEROUS times.

Even worse, is that I can no longer put out MY OWN trick without looking like a thief from Chris!!! The only defense he had at Magic Live was that other people thought of the same trick. Perhaps, but they were not Chris' partner -- firmly and fully aware of the EXACT IDEA for TWO DECADES. In short, Chris should have treated this effect like Kryptonite!

His pattern is truly shameful.

Does anyone have problems with the sticky stuff, too?
Somehow it doesn't really stick to my skin. Don't want to go into too much detail here...

What about those guys that buy magic because they see girls boobs? They REALLY lose my respect. I would even go so far to say they have no credibility. I mean maybe, they saw boobs and just want to stick up for
the ad that had the boobs.

Well, stand by your convictions and don't buy it. But No one knows the actual truth here except those involved so you're just assuming you know the whole story. I think it's a shame for people to come and slander someone and it lessens my respect. This isn't the forum for that, there are legal ways of pursuing. I've met both Greg and Chris before and they both seem like great people so it's disheartening to see this. However, I will say that out of all the magicians and creators I've met, Chris Smith was the kindest and most helpful of all. I'm glad I purchased this from him and would so again a hundred times. Just remember there are three sides to every story. One side, the other side and the truth.

Lol, you got me there, though I was being facetious about buying the effect because of that. If my appreciation of the ladies loses your respect, that's okay but sorry there's a big difference between slandering a persons reputation and appreciating a beautiful woman. But hey, stand by your convictions too.

Oh and secondly, I'm a nobody writing opinions anonymously on a thread not s highly respected magician/creator so I shouldn't have any credibility anyways.
