Wireless Whiteboard: Electronic Mentalism Device

 

Review by David Regal

 

Okay, I just played with this, and wow. Mentalism aficionados love dropping big bucks on electronic marvels, and this is one of that ilk. More specifically it belongs to the group of electronic effects that employ wireless technology to secretly inform the performer of a spectator’s actions when the performer’s back is turned, by vibrating his left gonad or some other part of the body. This is a medium-sized white dry erase board (about 11” x 15”), suitable for parlor or stage, and its devilish design informs the performer which of five areas of the board has been erased. The rest is up to the imagination of the performer. What’s written on the board can be anything, words, pictures, etc. Any mentalist with a brain in his head can device a variety of themed effects based in this principle. I wanted to test the device’s range, so I had my wife erase the board while I walked a distance from her with the receiver. I stopped testing after I was two rooms away, with doors closed between both rooms. The thing worked perfectly. Then I got itchy and had my wife erase the board when I was on the other side of the house, doors closed between rooms. It worked. Then I went upstairs, closed doors … and it still worked. Yikes. Nice job, Cobra Technology people from the Land of Milk and Honey. This board looks absolutely run-of-the-mill, free of guile, and is anything but. Three AAA batteries and a carrying case are supplied. The dry erase markers (un-gimmicked) are not.

 

With this Whiteboard you will be able to know what your volunteer is erasing from the board whether it's a one on one act or a full visual stage act with up to 5 people.

It dosent matter if you are blindfolded or have your back to your volunteer- You don’t need to see anything!

The Whiteboard is light weight and authentic looking.
