Xpert is something I have used for years. It originally came out a number of years ago in a
limited capacity by Neil Tobin and then was hard to obtain. It has now been released in a more
thorough form with more information on how to use this incredible device. Buy this.
I
recall using the bent coin routine with Xpert at a huge high school party I was hired to perform at.
I was about ready to leave after a couple of hours walk around magic and a large group
(approximately 20 students) asked me to do one more thing before I left. I borrowed some pocket
change, had a coin marked, and dropped the marked coin and pocket change in a student’s hand. I
asked him if he could feel some heat and possibly even some movement to which he replied yes. I
picked up my bag and told him as soon as I walked out the door to slowly open his hand. As I
walked out the door I heard screams, laughing, and shouts of “no f#&’n way!” coming from about 20
people who had been watching this last feat. That is the strength of Xpert.
Neil has
great ideas with coins, cards, etc. using this simple, practical, and versatile device.
Having actually USED Xpert for years I can strongly recommend this new expanded release.

I have bought things like the STS, spun, Torn, two dollar window, showoff with cards, invisible
deck, and lots more but THE XPERT is the best product I have bought from Penguin. It is like a thumb
tip it can be used for many things and you can make up your own routines. I love it and reccomend it
to everyone!!!

Neil Tobin's Magic Trick THE XPERT.
My Review.
OK so here it is...
I like
it!!!
It's Clever!
An old idea combined with an up-to-date state of the art apparatus.
(editorial deletion to protect secret)
As for the routines,
Yes, I have experimented
with them.
I like them.
The first one is cool and very effective. (Out-of-Body XPERT)
(editorial deletion to protect secret)
Just do exactly as he suggest in the illustrations
with the fingers and thumb positions.
Out-of-Body XPERT is a GREAT Astonishing and mind blowing
effect.
This effect alone is well worth the price of THE XPERT.
But amazingly the Xpert
comes with FOUR Original effects and also you can make up some of your own.
The XPERT Epic
Makes it easier and a little more impromptu to perform rather than carrying around my mental
boards and mind prediction slates which I don't like to even use anymore do to the fact that they
are non examinable. So this routine is very much welcomed.
The XPERT X-ed Card
Another
great trick that can be examined at the end.
A refreshing alternative to the amazing effect from
the Trick "Brain Sell."
The XPERT X-ed Card is actually better than Brain Sell and Brain Sell is
a Damn good Trick.
You cannot examine Brain Sell at the end, but with Neil Tobin's Xpert you can
in his X-ed Card.
You gotta love it!!!!
I like the Vampire Hunter too.
I've seen
Paul Harris perform a trick similar to this effect.
And, I've Seen a Magician named Jared do
something like this as well.
THE XPERT just makes it that much easier to perform and pull off
with confidence.
THE XPERT....... EXCELLENT!!!!
I hope you find value in my
review.

First off, I could only give it 4 stars because right off the bat people should know that you can't
use The Xpert with Bicycle or Bee Brand Decks. It's unfortunate, because the way I feel about this
product is THROUGH THE ROOF! It really is ingenious. It is very VERY easy to use. For those who
like the Scotch and Soda effect, you can do it better. Do it with borrowed coins. ANY coins. Read
the description for "Xpert Out of Body" Routine. For those who love the Invisible Deck, Re-Read the
description for "The X-ed Card" Routine. Imagine using a borrowed deck. One card is marked... the
card you predicted! No forces, Any card... Millions of routines possible. Do your research and
you'll be more and more intrigued the more you find out what people have to say about it. Don't
pass this up!!!

I'm a purist when it comes to mentalism props and utilities. If it doesn't look ordinary or natural,
then it's going to give off a magicky vibe, and then I'm not doing mentalism; I'd be doing a magic
trick. Xpert is one of those rare things that looks exactly like what it's supposed to be. It will
arouse zero suspicion by itself, and for those unfamiliar with how it works, let me assure you that
while it is about the simplist thing possible, nobody expects it or even thinks about it. In order
words, use it effectively and spectators will go down the wrong path futilely searching for the
explanation. It will blow minds. While I'd seen this principle before, Neil brilliantly elevates it
to the stratosphere.
I work with words and my mind and don't carry around much of anything.
I do carry the Xpert. That's the highest praise I can give it.

I must say, I really enjoy this. It's so EASY yet so hard hitting.
At first I was like:
"HUH, this is it? This seems so simple to fool anyone" But MAN does it get great reactions, people
just FREAK out!
I use this everywhere I can now. It's great.

Read the four routines outlined in the product description. Do they sound like effects you can see
yourself performing? If so, hit the 'Add to Shopping Cart' button, and wait patiently by your
mailbox. The decision in this one is that easy! I am not one to jump on the bandwagon for the
latest flavor of the month trick, but this piqued my interest because people were raving about its
uniqueness and versatility. This is one of the best magic purchases I have made all year. It is
not a one trick pony, the applications are only limited by your imagination.

The expert, although built on a simple concept, is most definitely a virtual Swiss Army Knife of
magic and mental possibilities as stated in the trailer. This simple but amazing gimmick will allow
you do do some amazing mentalism and magic effects, and it will allow you to easily come up with
some effects of your own. Whether you are a beginner or have been doing magic for years, you should
definitely invest in the Xpert.

The magic in this trick is in the routines you will learn. The gimmick seems disappointing at first
but don't be fooled. It delivers a big kick. I highly recorded it

I picked this up in the 5-for-$99 sale last November and promptly forgot I’d purchased it—not for
the usual reasons (holiday cleanup etc.) but because it had no packaging and I had no idea why I had
received this object. That’s how unassuming Xpert is. After figuring out what I had—in March!—and
only after running the tutorial video!—I started fooling around with it and discovered what a
brilliant tool it is. I’m no mentalist and will never pretend to be, but I HAVE to figure out how to
build an Xpert effect or two into my routines, which could use a really surprising effect. So no, I
haven’t tried these effects yet because I’m still practicing them to make them fit with what I
usually do. But dang, the bent coin and dream card bits really are practically self-working, and the
Vampire Killer took about 10 minutes of one-time prep. NOTE: been said a bunch of times, I know, but
it bears repeating: Any plastic-coated cards seem to work fine, so long as they’re not textured.
