Simply use Minimax and still get the information at a distance of 10 cm (about 3 inches) from the Spike! Coin in hand You can tell which hand a spectator is holding a coin in. This can be repeated and performed with other small objects. Blindfolded Show the spectators 5 coins and mark one of them with an "X". Now let someone blindfold you and mix the coins. You will immediately know which coin is the marked coin. Smell it Give your spectator your finger ring to hold in one of his hands.

Minimax offers a wealth of possibilities to close up magic performers. This utility device will work with many objects, leaving you to concentrate on your performance. Detect objects like magnetic coins, magnetic finger rings, Spike or just about any product you can place a magnet in. Just think of the possibilities... MINIMAX comes with the minimax unit, reserve battery, a little pouch and an instructional DVD. Running Time Approximately: 20min MY COMMENTS: The good news is that this little device does what is advertised. The gimmick itself, which resembles a long Gelcap pill in shape and size, certainly is small enough to fit in a TT or under a watch or between the fingers, etc, is very easy to use and maintain. The battery is at one end of the gimmick and you just pry it out with a pen tip or paper clip and put in the new one. Besides the device and an extra battery, the package also includes a very nice little leather holder for the unit. The DVD instructional video, which is about ten minutes long, is a silent movie. There are title cards to explain a few points. There are some considerations, though. First, the battery that comes with it must be instantly replaced. The batteries don't last long in this unit because the tiny device uses lots of battery and, due to the small size of the battery, it uses up the power very quickly. In other words, if you use this device for a smash 'n stab roulette routine, you're asking for some serious consequences. I wouldn't trust or recommend this unit for anything that could be dangerous. Second, it does require a fairly strong magnetic item to read. You'll have to experiment with the type of item that you want to use this to detect. Finally, the range is only about three to four inches, depending on the strength of the magnet. And, remember, all it does is detect items that have magnetic quality. To be fair, I do have to say that I'm biased against most electronics. If I can accomplish a similar routine with props that don't cost hundreds of dollars and won't have me worrying about whether the battery will die during performance, I will. And the only electronic devices that I've seen that I can support and get excited about are the ones from Craig Filicetti at Pro-Mystic. But this costs far less than most electronic items and, if you want one to play and experiment with, this is one I'd recommend for that purpose. As I said, this is a good little device that should do what you expect it to do. If that's something that you're looking for, then you'll definitely love this.
