I have been enjoying your videos since I got back into magic as an “adult “. The longer I watch, the more I learn about how things work etc. So David I just wanted to thank you so much for all that you do. You’re making a lot of people happy and less intimidated by certain magic tricks and I don’t think you could put a price on that. LOVE TODAY’s episode

$150. is a lot for me, but I bought it and I’m glad I did. it’s so much fun to do impromptu in groups of people, restaurants, and bars. One of my best investments - I carry it with me every day (hint - with double face tape, you can use your hands normally and even spread your hand and fingers over their hand)

David. After seeing this for 6 months, and coming back to your review again and again, I finally broke down and got it last week. Not sure why i waited this long. I love this utility and so easy to use. A delayed thank you David. 😂

Great review and great product. However, my choice would be Pro Mystic's FLUX. Same features but turns 1000000% invisible when palmed.

@vonrbdeleon6 ай бұрын
But I think Flux can be awkward for some people and you have to adjust it. And yes it is invisible but I think Espionage has more flexibility when it comes to positioning and cheaper and they really the same functions.

I actually have had to go through 3 FLUX units because the first one dislodged from the "shell" several times until I eventually lost it. The second one I purchased went all out of whack because apparently the magnet I used was too strong and the gimmick became uncalibrated. The third and final FLUX I purchased I decided to take the gimmick out of the "shell" and place a band-aid around it on the recommendation of a mentalist I know very well. But I left ot on my desk and our cleaning lady just thought it was a used band-aid and tossed it in the trash LOL Espionage grabbed my interested because 1) it's super small 2) It's less money to spend 3) The unit can actually calibrate itself it you happen to use stronger magnets 4) It has an auto-shutoff feature! As someone who does 5 restaurants weekly, I have a tendency to simply toss props back into the pockets when I'm done with a table/group.

Agreed on the Colin McLeod Penguin Live. I have used sooo many ideas from that lecture. He really is brilliant. His multi-staged routine spreads the 'which hand' portion over a longer audience participation so it appears as a small part of the overall revelations. Colin's persona also allowed him to wear several leather bracelets as cover for the device. His idea of forming a window with his fingers to look at the spectators hands is great and gives perfect motivation for passing near their closed hands.

This is great. Maybe a pro-tip: cell phones are too damn big nowadays, and so I carry mine in a small belt pack. It visually only looks big enough for my cell phone (and it's needed... no normal pocket is big enough for a modern cell phone!) but there's so much room behind it for devices like this. I even keep a specific "any" card in there, yet it only looks big enough for my phone that is actually in it. Find ways to use your normal garb to hide things. And it looks like this Espionage thing will easily hide like that.

Hi and thank you for this review. I am discovering a lot of very good commercial tricks thanks to your channel. I have some questions about this product. Please feel free to answer as you think is appropriate with respect to the product secret. - Do you think it is well made and long-lasting how it could be for example a Murphy's Magic Mental Dice? - Is it true that the signal can be detected at 15 cm of distance as the company declares, or it depends on the size of the magnetic object? - Do you think it's worth the price considering you also have to buy a "special coin" to perform the effect?
@magicorthodoxy7 ай бұрын
this wasn't "made" by Murphy's magic and since this is a NEW release there is no metric to determine how long it will last

Flux has been mentioned but I write with a sharpie in my act and I think I am the ultimate stealthy. My INTUITION says this is similar but with a replaceable battery. USB charging does bug me because yes the battery is proprietary and not replaceable and the life gets shorter however I feel like I will have to start wearing something with a wristband with this, and that’s OK. I’m prob going to give this a try. This will leave tour hands clean if done right.

But the real question is how does it compare with Flux, the industry standard used by most mentalists who do Which Hand? Other than price. It does feel a bit like this has completely ripped off another product.
