If you have the time and patience to practice a lot, then you'll love it! All of the Chazpro products have been great so far...The Bat, The Raven and the M5. Check out Ellusionist.com, the M5 bundle is worth the price because the protected forum is great for information and ideas that can't be discussed on these boards because of exposure. Penguinmagic.com also offers the package, but their forums aren't so great and the posts are a long ways apart. E's forums are much better run, like this site, and professionalism is greatly encouraged.
Some shimming ideas:
*Magnetic Paint - you can make anything magnetic with this stuff! Get it at Micheal's, Sherwin-Williams, Lowe's or Home Depot. You will want to have this stuff mixed up at the store because otherwise there will be a big lump of iron filings on the bottom.
*Iron Filings - You can find this at any teacher supply store.
*****THERE WILL BE UNLIMITED IDEAS , INSPIRATIONS, AND SUPPLIES FOR THE M5 AND ANY MAGIC IDEAS FOUND AT HOBBY STORES, CRAFT STORES, TEACHER STORES, AND EVEN FABRIC STORES. LOWE'S, HOME DEPOT OR ANY HARDWARE STORE IS A GREAT PLACE TO FIND SEVERAL TYPES OF ADHESIVES AND SUPPLIES. TRY IT, BROWSE IN THESE KIND OF STORES WITH AN OPEN AND CREATIVE MIND AND SEE HOW MANY IDEAS YOU CAN COME UP WITH. YOU MAY EVEN HAVE AN IDEA FOR A BRAND NEW EFFECT!!*****
Anyone who can prove to me that you own an M5 I would be happy to discuss it at length with you through e-mail or PM. I'll add more shimming ideas later, but only ideas that are not found on any other site and only ideas that don't expose a trick. Please don't ask me how a trick is done or made that you don't own. Thank You and have a great day! |
