The M5 System

[phantom]

Well, it does effect the electronic devices,
But just only a bit, no damage to devices.

just when you wave it near your mobile
it will react like you push any button
just light up, like that

but you shouldnt put it near dvds or cds,
im not sure if it will have affect of not.
\but it is said like that

By the way, I wanna know if the m5 tactics and system DVD is worth buying or not.
I have M5 with the bat DVD
Is it necessary to buy the new m5dvd?

[McHendrick]

I would buy it just to be safe. You can never have too many explanations.

Not worth the price, just get a magnet and wrist it around you arm.
Of course there a shimmed materials included but you can do this on your own. Just buy strong magnets...

[nitelife]

i've looked for the shim material and only thing i came across was this thin wire i use for matches but anyone no where the foil can be purchased from, or anyone have any info on that pk putty? thanks

I would be a little worried about performing for an elderly person with a Pacemaker !!!!!
Does this thing come with a CPR Class ???

[Membrisho]

i'm waiting for the tutorial ahahah, greetings everyone

[kissfan4]

i always though this would be great to get.
but $$$ has always kept me from getting it.

My main concern is walkaround in restaurants and Pacemakers.

Guys , what about the M5's effect on someones pacemaker? I don't have a pacemaker but, I do a lot of restaurant magic and this is a concern of mine.

The gimmik is really strong , it will easily bust your cell phone or electrical things.

Like somone said it is better to buy a magnet separate.

As always i was very anxious waiting for it to be delivered and when it was i couldn't wait to get it opened , as you most of you probably know the the M5 ( or Micro 5 ) is a magnet for PK effect and it is very powerful. it will work through tables and any jacket you might have, it is fantastic.

in the box you get the M5 , a wrist strap to fit it , shim material ,a few shimmed shell coins ( American ) , 2 brass rings,a shimmed match and instruction book.

The M5 fits into a little pocket on the strap but the pocket doesnt close so it could fall out ( i use a safety pin to close it ) , you also need to use an elastic bandage (this is what is use) or other material if you want to use the M5 on your leg for table effects sitting down .
The M5 is very powerful! i pretty much shit myself when i was sitting at a dinner table and this steak knife was travelling its way over to me at great speed! luckily it hit the M5 and not me.
You can use the M5 to make anything move that is affected by magnets ie coins etc , but the real beauty in it is using shimmed items, when i have moved coins people often say " wheres the magnet then ? " but when you use a chicken bone , a match or something of a similar non metallic nature people a blown away. Because you are under there hand when doing the effect they know it has nothing to do with strings or anything like that and the auidence is left speechless. In saying that though as long as you put on a good acting job when making a coin stand up that is also very effective .

you can do many effects with the M5 one of which is making a coin disapper from someone's hand ie do what the raven does but without the setup time ,you would need to do a bit of sleight of hand as the coin would stick to the outside of your sleeve though. i own a raven also and it defo has its place and ill do a review on that later.
Another great effect is making somebodys watch stop which is great fun . basically you can create so many effects of your own just in owning this system , i highly recommend it .

just got m5 pro pk kit i love it way better then the gecko should i get a pk ring though not sure

[haroldross]

Yes, do get a good PK ring. You will find many uses for it. Go to your local coin shop and pick up a few steel coins. Many of the Canadian coins and the new British penny are made of steel. The British penny is copper plated so it doesn't look like it would be attracted to a magnet.

Ok-

I work at a recycling plant and we have the oddest things in the world come through here. I kid you not, we have magnets we retrieved from old hard drives so big that I can climb walls with them... They will easily support my 180 pounds, the real trick is separating the silly things from the metallic surface they have attached to! LOL

I took the smaller magnets from a regular hard drive and made my own m5 kit...
If you take the thin 'mylar' security tabs from a cd or software package apart and use the them for a shim you can 'gimmick' just about anything. The shims are super thin but you are better off using a washer if the piece you are working allows for it as the hold is that much better.

I mixed some iron ferrite with magi wax to make a pretty wicked version of magnetic wax... so then I can borrow a dollar bill and after covertly attaching some wax to it I can grab it with my magnet. That is so outside their train of thought that it pretty much melts the speculators little minds. LOL
