I assume the acro index stage size (10" x 6") is similar to the default size of Prestige (the regular-sized acro index 5" x 3" is probably too small). But I don't see a dry erase option for the acro index stage size. That would be the ideal; although more expensive, definitely more useable, flexible, and visible.

As appealing as the dry erase option might at first seem, it may not be practical if you are going to be placing it in a plastic sleeve as this will almost certainly risk smudging/inadvertent erasing.

Darn, good point, Eric. Is there a workaround? Would wet erase markers do?

Good question to which I don't know the answer!

Blake Vogt does sell a stage sized dry erase version. I believe they are 5”x8”. They each come in a clear plastic sleeve and he suggests taping together as many as you want.
But at $100 each it’s going to cost a bit more.

Also, you can use a regular king size Sharpie to write on them, and then go over it with a dry erase marker if you wish to change it at some point.

A word of caution: in several threads over the last 2 years I read people were complaining about not receiving stuff they paid for from Blake. All messages were left unanswered. Better check before spending hundreds of dollars.
Please check regularly if you are becoming the type of magician Jerry Seinfeld jokes about. (This applies to mentalists as well.)

I can attest to that. Don’t buy from Blake. This guy is a con artist.

100% don’t buy directly from Blake. You will get burned.

My two cents. While I haven't ordered from Blake in a couple of years, I have never been burned ordering directly from him.

Yes - one is dry erase for $220. The $140 version has removable letters (not exactly the same as dry erase). Some might even be selling the non-dry erase version if they have them still left in stock. Just make sure you read the fine print to know which version you're actually getting.

Anyone know who will be carrying this in the US? Shipping to the US from the UK is a nightmare right now, takes forever, if it doesn't get lost. Looks like a fun routine, and the vanish of the numbers at the end surprised me.

Anyone interested in the original, Prestige 1.O ? Brand New, Never Used - thanks.

Does anyone have contact information for the creator? I tried the email in the package of the 2.0 version and it was returned to sender. I’d like to order an additional unit but don’t know how to get ahold of him, .

Is there a Facebook group I could try?

Thanks everyone!

Was recently gifted version 1.0 - I've been playing around with it and have developed some routine concept. Not sure yet how I want to proceed with marking. Of course, once you do, you're locked into that routine.

Here is one performance idea with this prop. Instead of doing this as a stand-alone, make it the ending of a routine where you invited a spectator up. Say something along the lines of since you were such a good sport I would like to offer you a free gift. I have 6 different gifts you can choose from, all very valuable. They chose, you turn the list around and show the expensive money and prizes. What did they win, the most valuable item, it's an autographed photo of the magician!
