I just got my Electric touch. Anyone of you guys know how to set it up properly?

Don't waste time. Just get it done professionally at a shop. You will know what shop if you bought ET. It is worth the extra money and it will last longer

Joel , i would like to know whether you could levitate a dollar bill using electric touch? The video seems to say it could be done, is it possible? And any cool routines can it be used in conjuction with M5?

Watch the video again. Actually it says that Yigal Mesika uses loo** to make the dollar bill float and he uses the et as the after effect.

I had trouble with my et at first too, then I just got it installed properly at a shoemaker. Its really troublesome but its worth it.

Isn't that sort of exposure?

It might be possible to levitate really light object. As for a dollar bill, I don't think so.

Just a few ideas. Be criiaatif and invent your own effects.

- M5 rings link together with ET. Pass your power to audience when they talk it from you.

- M5 to stop time from a borrowed watch, when they try to take the watch and examine, they feel your mental power surging through them.

- hold hands with someone... then pass your power to them and get them to shock someone else. Only the two spectators should feel something when both their hands contact, and not from your hands.

- For breaking the ice with a girl/guy, if you can do the linking hearts card trick in firestarter. Talk crap about how when two people are attracted, sometime sparks fly. Then literally let sparks fly when they "transfer' their powers to you and you "link the hearts together" (I know this is really crappy, but I've tried it and found that it actually impress people)

- Stigmata with Et is another great one.

- Try passing food to people. E.g. a sausage, steak, etc. when they take it from you, they get shock. (It works and it really freaks people out) My friends freaked out and the owner of the eating place I was in freaked out too. (Probably tramatised knowing she was the one who prepared the food. haha.

- bend water from a tap. (You might get a painful shock if the water accidentally touches your finger though.

- Fire perception/third degree burn with ET.

- The trick where you burn a sealed straw with your finger. (Can't remember the name of this effect). ET adds to the effect.

- Light Fluorescent tubes (I had problem doing this in Singapore though. Probably due to the high humidity. Works well in Australia)

- Goes well with most mentalism effects where you read people's minds orget them to transfer their thoughts.

- Add a new level of reality to your fork /spoon/key bending routines. (as if seeing a fork bend isn't scary enough). The audience will almost always want to examine the fork. If you act blur and continue not to pass it to them. They may try to grab it from you and feel your 'power' in the process. Act a bit lah.

- It goes well with almost anything mental. Even making multiple sponge balls appear in a person's hand when it shouldn't be. Et can provide the magical touch where the spong seemingly penetrates through their fist at a touch of your finger.

Just be creative.

Maybe others here can provide more creative examples.
:lol:

These are just some of the things I've tried ET with and it works well. Failed attempts include trying to pass current through IT, lighting a lighter with my fingers, etc.
