Magic Tricks

xFingerx is more a method than an effect. It offers you the possibility of making a variety of words, pictures, or even (very small) real objects appear or disappear from your fingers. With average-sized handwriting, I can fit three or four letters on my finger--if I had more legible penmanship, I could probably fit five or six letter words.

I haven't seen anyone yet write the list of effects offered on the video, and although it misses a few, I wrote the following list down while watching the video just now:

1. Playing Card Appearance
2. Serial Number Appearance
3. Time Someone Died, Phone Number, Credit Card Number
4. Etch-a-sketch (Line drawn at right angles disappear)
5. Boomerang (Draw boomerang, throw it, it disappears, and then it comes back)
6. Make Blister Disappear
7. Word Transpositions ("Live to Evil" as shown on demo)
8. Arrow Switch (Arrow reverses direction)
9. Drawn Object into Real Object (Bullet routine and needle routine shown, coin routine hinted at)
10. Traveling Flies (Flies fly back and forth between your hands)

I think this is a worthy purchase even at full retail price, given that you are receiving 10+, ready-to-go effects and you can come up with further divinations, revelations, and disappearances on your own.

Lastly, a number of reviews here seem to be judging the method's apparent simplicity rather than the effects. A simple method that is difficult to reverse-engineer should disappoint no magician, as the effect matters most--not the method. For example, to see a simple TT* might be disappointing to a beginning magician as the secret behind some wonderful classic magic tricks, but an experienced magician knows that the effect matters-not the (simple) method. *A TT is NOT used in xFingerx!
