Can't get postage to my address either, started OK but when I went to pay it came up no delivery to your area. I think the site isn't ready for pre-orders. Its 4 months away so sure they'll eventually get their act together with it, or not lol.

Is this a horizontal version of Matt Mello's Invisible Ball?

Strangely that’s what came into my mind initially, thinking it was maybe some type of gimmick to ‘shoot’ it. I just feel if this that type of gimmick, you would need to be careful with proximity of how close spectators are watching it incase they see something or hear something - maybe. Very intriguing

If it's something that hits someone, I'd be moreso thinking about what they're wearing. For example, does this work on people wearing suits at a corporate event?

If it was a take on Matt Mello’s invisible ball which is great I can’t imagine something staying invisible but with the weight to feel on a shoulder arm….

That is exactly what I thought of as well. But as pointed out, Matt Mellos method wouldn't really work here due to the needed weight of any object to be felt

I feel bad for adding fuel to the method guessing fire, but just to add a little more gas: I'm not sure that's what happens? If you have D'Angelo's Touch, or have read that semi-recent Steinmeyer touch thing in Genii, you might interpret the description in the OP a little differently.

That said, I have no idea how this works! I want to buy it (I sort of collect PK touch methods, my favourite is still Christopher Taylor's), but I'm just curious what kind of method it is.

I had the same issue of not being able to pre-order from Canada, and I've sent an email but no response, yet.

"Banachek had no idea, he thought Hernan was using something electronic, he wasnt."

Not sure where that info came from, but it is incorrect.

I just happened to be talking to people in the background and stood up midway through a conversation, partway through the demonstration to watch. And that is how I ended up on the video. You can even see me sit back down again.

I knew what it was right away.. I have been around this type of thing before. I was across the room in the background, and my angle gave me a good idea what was up due to the body movement, and I even said to him what I suspected when he asked me later, and it was not that I thought it was electronic; my suspicion was right on.

I do not like people being misled in advertising like this. To be clear, I did not even know I was going to end up on the video, and it was not demonstrated for me. I just happened to be in conversation in the background, saw a PK touch routine already in progress, and stood up to see the end of it.

Having said that, it is nice, it is clever, it is effective, and I would probably use it under certain situations where what I normally do might be an issue. But never thought it was electronic in any way. And to be honest, if asked, I would have been happy to endorse it. I never was.

Thanks for clearing that up, Banacheck. That's good to know.

According to Hernan Maccagno Facebook 200 units are heading to Madrid right now.

After watching the gimmick and how it works I have one prediction, and is not good:

You will be quite disappointed…

Not for me for sure .

This is why you simply cannot trust any review here. I appreciate Banachek chiming in (Good to see you back!) to set the record straight, but I feel like he should have been contacted and asked his thoughts before claiming he had no idea the method, or what his thoughts were. Imagine if Banachek hadn't come here to set the record straight.

Trust and reputation damage have been done.

I wouldn’t say you can’t trust any reviews here. Actually the fact people can leave reviews is one of the main reasons for visiting the Cafe for me and I know for many others. But you absolutely have to know who you can trust. Check out reviews from videoman, 252life, stunninger, lunatik, emeyers, jared, cardguymike, patrick gregoire to name but a few. Their reviews are honest and very helpful.
