I am very disappointed from Joao's company services.
After receiving the product I tried
performing it on live TV and it did not work and failed.
And after trying to reach out to Joao
on the issue. He was always late on him responses, responding only after couple of emails.
On
how to fix the issue, he asked me to send it back to him without even trying to see if he can help
virtually. After sending the product to him by DHL, the product is stuck there for him to release it
and while trying to communicate with him, he just stopped responding and after chasing him to see on
what to do ignoring the messages he responded that he will not be responsible on paying any of the
shipping costs to him or while sending it back to me.
I don't know what to call this but this
is the last time I am ordering any of Joao's releases.

I had ordered Spectro touch from Joao and it didn’t work and failed me while performing. I raised
the issue to them and after lots of back and forth and me paying for the shipping once landing and
once sending and again landing, I get a replacement. I hoped this time the product will work, within
a month it breaks again and I send it back and pay for the shipping and now it is stuck in Portugal
for them to collect it and they are not responding to DHL and DHL will be sending it back. What kind
of a company is this. Careless to customers issues. Not responding to emails or calls, only caring
of making their profits. 👎 all the way. Unbelievable.

I buy a lot of Magic...some fit me...many don't. But I have a hard time believing the
hype/effectiveness of this. To me...a very specific STAGE ONLY presentation. Walk around...no. On
the street...I can't see it. Angles aren't favorable. And to have a gimmick that sticks really well
and then you have to pull it off...unless the person is wearing a jacket...on a shirt/T-shirt...how
can they not feel the removal? Again...for a large stage where the spectator might say a few things
to his friends and who cares because you fooled the majority...but to me...you cant do this for
small groups/friends who will instantly talk to each other. And the video...ahhh...the video. This
is NOT hands free and I'm sure someone offstage/offscreen is operating the remote. This is an
expensive effect so I just want you to know what you're actually getting. Stay safe...stay positive.

It will fail you while performing, don’t waste your money

I really like Joao's way of thinking, and the idea of Spectro Touch is very cool! The problem is
that the gimmick is noisy, and beyond that, not practical at all. Very scary to use and
unfortunately I have not yet been able to paste it safely when performing (and I tried a lot of
double side tapes!). Needs serious improvement.

I wish the price would have been doubled to keep it out of the hands of people who are only curious!
It is worth they money you pay for it and the time you put into it. It kills during
performances and is a real crowd pleaser! If you want to add an amazing piece of magic to a
professional show then you have got to get this!

How is it possible that reviews can be so polarising??? 5* to 1* ? Or it works or it doesn't work!!!
This should not be marketed before thorough research. And then sudden lack of after sales service!!
I can understand that buyers don't feel comfortable with the method, but at least the method should
work 100% of the time, so that performers can try to learn . I saw '...break...'… It should NOT
break!! I see ‘tape’… but ‘no threads’??? Is it perhaps super-fluidal extra-dimensional ‘spiritual
fluïdum’? … These ‘No xxx, no yyy , no zzz’ -remarks should be 100% trustable!! And I even see a 5*
of someone who even didn’t use it to perform yet …

so much of what we see advertised falls short of the hype. Noto so with this. I have two other
rather expensive gimmicks for performing a touch routine. This one is the best in my opinion. Many
of the alternatives on the market are much more expensive so I found this to be a good value.

As you can see from the other reviews I had the exact same problem. My spectrotouch broke I was in
contact back and forth with joao a couple of times and then he completely stopped emailing me. Once
I finally got a hold of Murphy's magic and they got in touch with him I was instructed to send it
back to which he claimed he never received the item. I feel like this is stealing and I just wanted
my other half of my spectro touch back which I never received. It's been over 8 months and both
Murphy's and Joao have gone completely silent. This. Sucks.

Had yesterday Halloween formal dinner and I did 10 acts throughout.
The one that killed was
Spectro Touch, paired with the freakiest doll I could find on amazon. AMAZING THX JOAO YOU DID IT
AGAIN.
