Anyone here own the M5 system? Can u share ur experience and what prob u have encountered so far? Am intending to purchase the M5, but i'd like a review from a present SG owner 1st.. Thanks! :D

Ok to me its not really practical to have it in Singapore... :D But there are really some good effects you can acomplish with this.. To me .. if you have spare cash to spend then buy if not don't bother... :D

You can do wonderfull effects with it. But I think this is a hassle to bring around.

Agreed totally that its a hassel to bring it around. Nevertheless its one of the most powerful tools you can use.

Would just like to share a exprience with it...

Was eating at Marriot the other day and was wearing it on my knee... During the buffet lunch everything seems fine till the waitress came over to collect my cutlery... Which I moved(the knife) just by flicking my fingers from a distance... One of my friend immediately reach out and swap in between me and e knife hoping to find some sort of a IT, only to find air... :lol:

Everyone was :wacko:

Except me :g:

woah that cool? But can u like.. switch it on/off ? wouldnt want it to go round creating havoc... eg. cutlery chasing u wherever u go

u can raise or lower it...

i use it, and its great!

Does it run on batteries? U mean it has a switch? Oh man..

Anyway, in America, when someone uses it, people start running away, screaming profanities etc..

But in Singapore..? I think the scare factor ain't so strong, right? I mean, for u guys who have replied to this post.. Do your friends react like the Americans? or do they say stuff like: "I know there's a trick behind it! Just that i can't see it.." <_<

those peeps are SM told me m5 was a rip off from pk pro set <_<

mine is sitting on my shelf, unitilised except when i feel bored and start playing around with it. i'm not very much into PK effects just as yet, but once i get round to watching my Banachek dvd i guess it'll be something really useful.

the M5 (pro pk kit, whichever) is simply amazing. if you are willing to put time and effort into preparing it, getting ready and planning what you want to do (well, have to practice a bit at least) then it's a worthy investment.

I didn't quite get your statement man.. Haha.. But isn't the M5 a PK pro kit in iteslf? :wacko:

Anyway, thanks to all who replied! Just one more question though.. What exactly is it? --[sentence deleted...]--

I don't want my girlfriend's knife to fly to me when we're eating dinner man.. :blink:

:P

Btw, PM me if the answers to my above questions are too much exposure..


Mod's Note: Please do not ask a "Yes & No" kind of question infuture... Asking someone to PM you the answer is also asking for an exposure of the product which isn't allowed here...

Why do you think it's ok to ask people to PM you the answers to above qns if you thought the answer might be too much exposure? :)

Sorry Barney, here's a warning level up to you. Solicitating for secrets is against the rules. And fishing for secrets will only make people ignore you next time you have a geniune question to ask. B)

anyway, pro PK kit includes the M5 amongst other things...

Will the M5 affect handphones or watches or other stuff?

Yes

haha.. ok im not gonna ask anymore questions in fear of exposure.. :P

one of the m5 effects is to make a spectator's watch stop with a snap of finger.... den with another snap, made the watch go again

Actually I got the urge to buy it... just one fear though...
I am afraid that I am unable to undo certain damage...
Can advise on this? dunwan my friend to start crying...

i think ur concern is with the watch.

dun worry, in all likelyhood, there will be no permanent damage.

but if u are afraid of taking that risk, u can do MANY other AMAZING effects with the M5.

Gordie, did ya buy it in Singapore? Or did you purchase it direct from Ellusionist?

I find that the M5 and PK Pro are similar products..so heres my review.

Watches..like neo23 said, can be stopped and run again. It won't do damage to watches in any way..or not at least during my 2 week of fiddling.

If you have shimming wires,foils( mostly found in DIY shops), you can move objects..like cards, matchsticks, or even force a dice.

Better still if you have REED switches, devastating effects.

The basic set should come with rings, wires, etc as stated at Ellusionist, and basically its the same for what I get for PK Pro.

If you aren't really into PK effects, I think it's still pretty worth it, beacuse you can have fun at practically anywhere. A small little price of bringing the gimmick is ok. I just use a Velcro strip and got it on my knee. barely felt a thing throughout my entire schooling hours.

M5 is the gimmick that does all the work, Pro PK is a package including the M5 and several other accessories.

Barney, my supply of M5's are from a non magic source, but it is no diff from an M5 in terms of looks, size, shape, strength (maybe even more powerful!).

umm..exactly how big is the m5, cause i don't wanna buy it and look like a idiot with a bulge in my pants.

From what i read, its about 2 x 2 x 0.5 inch.

http://www.ellusionist.com/order/M5.htm

Btw, 1 inch is approximately 2.5 cm. ^_^

I think before getting the M5, it would be worth thinking if one wears long sleeve because to perform most of the effects, long sleeve helps...

ya i agree...

but i am not sure if it is a good idea to get it unless u r going to wear it most of the time and use it...

if not it might be left on your shelves to collect dust...

Yap, I think one of the main factors to consider is whether you wear long sleeve....and the ease of performance based on individual's factor...

is there anywhere in SG selling the m5?

hahha really interested in buying this M5.
*now is my turn hahaha*

after reading u guys posts, and previously saw on ellu long time ago, have to urge to do such stuffs. so voodoo-like hahaah.

hmmm, maybe i'll ask the quote from ning :lol:

I saw it for sale at Queensway Shopping Centre some time ago.

Thats Magic City.

It closed down due to some management problems some time ago, so dont go Queensway looking for it, lol.

Wow, that didn't last long. ;/

Thanks.

Can someone give some rating ? The Bat or M5 which 1 is better ?

i got to say the bat or the raven, the m5 is too expensive, the raven cost about
SGD 50(plus,minus), while the m5 cost a bomb.

So you're judging a product whether its good or bad by their monetary value?

Anyway, you may be able to compare the Bat and the M5 but not the Raven, the Raven is a totally different effect.

Does anyone here have anything good to say about the m5?

seems like alot of ppl who got the m5 are either letting it gather dust or selling it away :rolleyes:

Oh I thought the m5, bat and raven were the same
haha thanks for telling me.

But I feel that the m5 is too expensive, but if u got the cash....

Mod's note, post edited. Please use proper English when posting so as to make reading more pleasant for readers. BTW, stop giving advices if you don't know anything. Afterall you're only a few days old in magic as written in your intro post.

This is really a very powerful device. Personally, i think it beats the PK ring in terms of its versatility in performing different tricks. When i performed the deck cutting trick, i couldn'ty even believe what i saw. My brother was simply amazed. Its such a powerful device. I totally recommend those who want to perform impossible magic, get this device.

dude did you buy all these stuff all in one shot.. because woah. :blink:

I bought them together in a bundle. I had a fun time performing them.

The M5 effect is superm and powerful. although that you have to look on the darker side. It is very costly, it is heavy and a little bulky moreover its refills(props) are not cheap too.
