Alright I got this effect and I heard a lot of controversy about this trick. Saying that it was completly impractical when I don't think that's the case at all.

The effect: To move an object with your mind and you don't even have to be in the same room. There is no strings, no magnets, no counterweights, no blowing.

My Thoughts: Alright everyone, many people explain that the method was completly impractical although I think it's quite ingenious. I've been practicing for awhile and have gotten some pretty awesome reactions.
Now some people are like, "If I was a strolling magician on the street, when would I ever use this? NEVER!" Well that's only when you think inside the box. Think of a way to get around the "gimmick" limits.

I've already solved the problem, so now the practicality of it now jumps up. I even testing my method of solving the problem on the streets and not a single person of the SEVERAL people I performed for caught on because I make it look so natraul.


Now "the gimmick" is something that everyone has and is perfect for doing at home, friend's house, restrants, and several other places. Now it's hard to say how I carry this gimmick around the street without revealing it but I am surprised that no one has thought of it, seeing as it's very simple and most magicians, and laymen carry "this gimmick" the exact same way.

I mean problems arose when this trick came out, well so did eXile. People that had eXile would complaining that certain things weren't working and blah blah blah. But you have to toy with it, a lot of people practice for like 3 days, don't get it right and cry about it. Sometimes things just need to be toyed around with and thought about for it to work. Now that I've come up with the perfect way to carry this gimmick around I can perform this anywhere, my high school, work, the streets, on stage, anywhere, the skys the limit.

So this was just my 2 cents because I don't see what the problem is.

"If I was a strolling magician on the street, when would I ever use this? NEVER!"

I think I and a bunch of other people were being overcritical of the effect, but I still say it's impracticle.

Anyway, I don't like being misquoted James. Here was my ACTUAL quote.

If I was a strolling magician, when would I be able to perform this? Never. That makes it impracticable. Right now I am not, but it is still impracticable 95% of the time. Is it magical? Yup. Is it good for real world use? No. That is why it does not deserve a good score. It's like Mathieu Bich's TnR. Is it incredibly magical? You betcha. Is it good for real world use? No.

Anyway, I'm interested in hearing how you made this effect practical. So please send me a PM and tell me how you did it.

I'm so gutted I can't get hold of this. I know people are saying it's impractical, butI would have got it just to see Dan's thoughts on this kind of trick. I love all the TK kinda stuff.
Didn't even know about it till now :(
