Hi guys, I had a chance to chat with Marc Lavelle today about the Skynet Project. He referred to quite a few questions from here and was more than helpful answering pretty much any question you have about this crazy cool new release. https://www.facebook.com/MurphysMagicSup......13764175
All the best, Luke |

Thanks for the chat, Luke!
Also should say a massive thank you to Javier for his contributions on the explanations (he kindly added his input after I had filmed the core of the project, so didn't have opportunity to thank him on camera!) |

What's a good force bag to use with the Christopher Williams idea?

Pocket space is paramount to me. I stopped using both Perfect Cents/Exact Change because I needed one pocket for the Advocate (which for me is still the best i..x system). This has most probably an attachment to pin it inside a jacket/hoodie/sweater so it might be a good solution. I'll wait for some reviews first, I am not totally sold on the MCF - often I just need to add an extra card to a deck so the prefolding doesn't work. Don't know - maybe I'll pass on this one.

So full disclosure, I was sent a unit. I just finished watching the download, and while I have yet to try this out, its very clever. Currently I use Instagrab as my index of choice, which I pair with Mint Box. During the holidays, that combo was one I used a lot at my gigs. However, if I had Skynet at the the time, I think I would've used Skynet with Mintbox instead. The reasoning is, you wouldn't be limited to a certain number of cards that could appear inside the box throughout the night, which is great in case groups chat about the magic they saw that evening. For casual performances, I'll still use Instagrab, but for shows, I will switch over to Skynet.
On the download you learn how the gimmick works, ways to modify it, non card uses, and other uses of the gimmick besides using it as an index. I look forward to actually performing this soon!

I know exactly how this works and think it is one of the most ‘real world’ practical tools I have seen on here for ages.
Cantywait to use this& will put my findings on here after working it . Possibilities are endless Mike Donoghue |

I typically perform in a 3 piece suit sans the jacket (vest and slacks). Would this work for me?

Marc was a performing guest at our monthly show last night (Sylar and Steve Rowe)
We specifically asked to see him perform this, without telling us the method. I watched, and watched and was totally fooled. Speed at which the card was 'found' was indecipherable in performance, everything flowed naturally and the routine was great. Needless to say I'm ordering one. |

I saw Marc use this on Monday. It is indeed very clever and a useful thing to have on you. I can see the potential for so many routines. It's a super idea!

Is this thing going to wear out over time and need replacing?

Thank you for you kind words, Angelo, Steve and Josh, coming from fellow creators that I admire, they mean a lot to me!

The adaptability of Skynet is perfect for the majority of clothing combinations. - it does of course have to be worn 'hidden' and 'accessible' (nothing unnatural, really) so onesies and morph suits would not be suitable!

My 'final prototype' has been with me since September 2017, and has been on me at every gig since, and also a few times out and about for fun.

Just a quick clarification to address a comment on a video where Skynet wasn’t mentioned... this CAN be used in a suit. I’m not sure the people speaking about it had seen the item, watched the trailer, or watched the video specifically made for dealers!

Very nice! By the way, video would not play on Chrome. but did play on IE.
Gave in...ordered it. Should work well with Kennedy's Mystery Box. |
