The trick is self-working, and well made. Excellent effect.
The problems are 1) it is loud
too loud to be of much use in many venues it was obvious to everyone it was a "motor," the only
challenge was to determine how I was triggering it and 2) it requires a band aide on your thumb
tip or index finger tip. In most venues this requires too much prep (you can't just carry this
around and perform instantly) for impromptu magic. With a different gimmick I can use it without the
band aide if I hold it over my own hand (not someone else's), but in two performances the spectators
figured it out twice. Though everyone was impressed with the technology & miniaturization, this was
not impressive as Magic.

4 stars cause of price. Other than that i love it.
To settle the noise debate once and for
all. This is the noise it makes in a dead silent room http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt37EVQeXlI
To me its not a issue.

Based on a completely different method regarding nut off of bolt or the old method, there is simply
nothing to be seen with this micro psychic phenomenon. I was able to operate and fully operate the
unit about five minutes after opening up the box. The instructions are well done in English and a
one time six month warranty is offered for a one time replacement for the first six months. This is
some of the most powerful mental-ism magic I have seen in years. Very well built and a powerful
weapon against your spectators. I am telling you, their jaws will drop. Ordinary outside noise or
background noise will take care of a slight talking sound. It really does not take much background
noise, so this is a must for any serious magician/mentalist. Jerry Foster

Great trick/effect. You will fool yourself doing it. Just talk a bit to cover slight noise. Would be
better if was siver color like most bolt/nuts. But it is your SPECIAL magic bolt/nut!!!!

This thing is awesome. If I didn't have one in my hand, I'd never believe what the manufacturer has
packed into this completely ordinary-seeming nut and bolt! Unlike some other reviewers, I have NO
noticable noise from this thing, and after experimentation, I've learned to get some control over
the speed of the nut spinning by the way I hold the bolt to activate it. Have not used it on an
audience yet (received it last night), but after careful routining, and as part of a PK / mentalism
/ metal bending act, I expect this to make spectator's jaws drop to the floor.

Unbelievable! This thing is a marvel of technology! Combine this with the very inexpensive
nutty-nut and perhaps bolt bending, and you have an entire routine that would be amazing. There is
so much possibility. It does make a slight noise, but you have a couple options. First, you can
perform it with some background noise. Second, even without background noise, if you sell it right,
the noise would just add to the effect. I realize it is pricy, but, frankly, it is unbelievable
someone could make such an amazing piece of technology for that price.
I recently received
mine, and it is so easy to use it is a bit embarrasing that magic this powerful could be so easy.

Very well made and a great price. I would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for the noise. But
really, no spectators have said anything yet.

Don't know the issue with some reviewers with the noise, perhaps they received a faulty one. Had to
hold it to my ear to hear it.
Took me about 10 minutes to set up. Works exactly as viewed
on the video. Blows people away. Instead of the adhesive they supply I switched to a piece of a
band aid. Works great and invisible. Not inexpensive, but for me a great and different type
illusion.

This effect where the nut comes off the bolt is a very excellent magic trick. Every time I do it
people are amazed and usually do not realize what is going to happen. When the nut starts coming
off bolt people always act startled and laugh at The effect. I have never had anyone but some
physicists "guess" how it works. It is a small little trick but I am amazed myself that people
always love it. It is surprising that people do not WANT to examine your hands but the magnet can
be disguised under a little bandage on the tip of your finger. When I Drop the nut and bolt as
people examine it I hides the gimmick in my pocket so they then can see my hands totally clean of
anything. Well designed and although some comment on the noise I have done it 25 or so times and
the noise never has been an issue. One can buy a knockoff for a very low price buT they die very
fast so if you want a reliable trick buy the authentic one made by Kendo.

Just recieved my Micro Psychic last week. If you get one that makes to much noise it must be the
luck of the draw. I found mine to be quite low on noise. Not enough to stop me from fooling an
audience of one or more. The only reason for only four stars is the price. It is expensive but worth
it if you can afford it.
