I read that with practice, it only takes seconds to reset. Not a big deal to do I suppose.

Correct. Assuming you have the tool handy, reset takes about 10 seconds

Is it possible to remove the 'setup' screws completely? or does that break the gimmick?

I contacted João Miranda for some lost instructions and as always, the response was prompt and solved my issue. Thanks again João for the great service.

Metal Phone is an amazing gimmick, constructed really well. Here's my performance

I received mine and want to sell it. it´s new and has been used only once, so if someone is interested just PM me. To me the mechanism is good but unfortunately, I will not use it as I found some weak point with it, mostly by something is happening once the card has passed though and the mechanism closes. I followed the tutorial, but even my girlfriend could figure out something, and we were outside in a bar with differnt people seating around, so in a very quiet place, I would never perform this. Is not possible to open it, once you give it to inspection, but this little something that happens, make for me not good to implement in my act.

However I have never personally had any problem with it since its a simple matter of not grabbing the whole phone like a deck of cards with the hand all around. Regarding the sound the instructional video explains how to cover the sound. I HAVE performed metal phone indoors in a silent environment with total success. To help you with this matter take a look at this performance by David Penn. It is another idea on how to cover the noise in a 100% silent environment: Hope this helps. |

Just a heads up, I’ve just had to pay £57 import tax to the UK!

That's awful, but sadly not the creator's nor seller's fault. Shipping is just getting expensive world wide.
Your choices in life can be compared to watching a magic trick: You can continue to believe the illusion in front of you, find the intrigue and desire to learn more, or quit paying attention the moment you feel deceived.

Yep, and absolutely don’t blame Joao’s team, in fact I’ve had amazing customer service from them so far considering I’ve had this on pre order for a few months. That being said I thought I’d let people know about the import tax as it’s a significant amount considering how much the actual gimmick costs! There will be some people out there ordering this and it’s at the top of their budget- and then suddenly they get hit with this high import tax.

1KJ Inner circle Warning: We will run out of new tricks in 4385 Posts |
I pulled some iphone home page images from the internet, sized them, and printed them. With a few bits of double sided tape, I stick and trim the image onto the metal plate. I think it really adds to the "ILLUSION" as Calen explains in his very good routining. I start the routine by pretending that I am taking it from my belt holder. I let them know that this is just an illusion. I then have them hold out their hand and tell them that it is very light because there is just a piece of paper inside the case. I gradually release my hold of the phone and as, and after I release it in their hands, I tell them that they will experience it getting heavier. Something that is heavy actually feels like it is getting heavier as you hold it. I then reveal the block of steel. The last thing is to pretend I am putting it back in the belt holder as the gimmick is ditched in my rear pocket. As an afterthought, it comes back out as a normal phone. It is a very fun and powerful routine.

Always wanted this but so pricey! I have industrial revelation and it has developed "rust" blotches around it - still usable but not the prettiest thing. Does Metal Phone also age/rust ?
