Magnet-0

Magnet-0 (pronounced Magnet Zero) is, for us, all about the image. The most brilliant part about this terrific effect is the visual you get to create for your audience. Balancing a borrowed coin on a sharpie cap and then sealing it off with an inverted glass is...weird. But weird in a fantastic way.
The visual is arresting and you can't not look at the whole setup. Then, you walk away from the table and with a pass of your hand, cause the objects to animate from a distance. Your ability to cause the coin or key (or any small object) to fall off the cap at will is unforgettable. The visuals could not be more memorable.
Included in Magnet-0 is the one simple thing you need to work your magic. This effect is incredibly easy to perform and is almost self-working. You can (and should) borrow the quarter or key and, of course, any wine glass or tumbler will work. By utilizing a super quick and easy switch, you can even borrow the sharpie or have an ungimmicked sharpie available for examination.
As with everything produced by Henry Harius, Magnet-0 is made to last forever and to work again and again in real-world environments.
We're always on the hunt for new and original effects, and this is one that we believe is truly worthy of adding to your repertoire.

I was lucky enough to get an early copy and am THRILLED with it. I own every Harrius product and this may well be my favorite. For those worried about reliability - do not. This hasn't failed me once. The gimmick is extraordinarily well made.
Sam
I have a problem.... I'M ADDICTED TO HENRY HARRIUS PRODUCTS. PLEASE SEND HELP. If he keeps making products this good, I'm going to go broke very soon :D :D :D (It's great. And thanks for the shipping upgrade. Mine arrived earlier than expected).

I can guarantee it's a fantastic trick. I recommend it 100%.
If you like to amaze people, this is the gimmick you need to buy.
My compliments to Vanishing who put this product up for sale.

All I can say is 'Magnificent ' !!! Great job by the inventors of this effect. If you cant do this, you cant do anything. You'll love this.! Buy this...you wont be sorry.
Gerald
This is an absolutely excellent product that I would truly recommend to absolutely anyone who is looking for something for their EDC which is incredibly compact yet gets absolutely great reactions which is very from the standard "Pick a card" trick. The gimmick is great and is pretty much sure fire. When you see something like this you think it is too good to be true but being Henry and Armando's work of course it isn't!!!
Robert
This is a beautiful routine. My grandkids will absolutely love it. The tutorial is one of the best ever...clear, direct and includes a few variations to incorporate into the performance.
Vincent
Brilliant very good
Steven
Being one of those who got before the official world wide release, I witnessed the whole development process of this wonderful prop in the last two years. Henry Harrius and his team once again set the standard of what a professional prop development should be through time, dedication and routine creation which made Magnet-0 as the debut of workers' series.
Those who did not get the product and bash about anything such as remote clicking sound has no idea what it is in real live performance situation. Watch the explanation video and all these problems they mentioned are solved if follow the instruction as taught by Henry and Armando C.
As always, Magnet-0 maintains the gold standard from Henry Harrius Presents and I cannot wait to see their team's next release, soon.

Performed this trick in addition to others in my repertoire to my grandchildren. Judging from the reactions (wide eyes, gasps and facial expressions) Magnet-0 by far stood out as the most awesome and amazing. To see those reactions means to me it was worth every penny!

Sucks I can't see my downloads

i LOVE MAGNET-0. V’inc, how about a possible second spare for my belated birthday that just passed ? :) this has been the most fun making objects move so easy to do there is a switch i mean not really it’s such a natural thing you’d do but if you want to say it’s a switch then that’s all you, compared to what you have to switch with most things, this is so natural. this goes GREAT with ORACLE ! been practicing my heart and soul to a seance light hearted seance like sit down showing how much power you have. there is no mags no strings it will blow you away what this every day thing can do. A lot of work/ thinking went into this. Can’t recommend this highly enough. if you like to make things move/ tip/ fall over at your command, look no further! Henry always continues to amaze me and you have no clue what you’re getting into. You WILL be FOOLED & in LOVE! this thing was so hard to get i couldn’t get it here but know it’s a project here i believe so supporting the guys and to help make a review help you. Any questions , add n dm me on FB!

Henry Harrius does it again! Magnet-0 will FRY your spectators. I use this beautiful trick in mostly close-up settings but as of late i've been working it into my parlor show. It's an unexpected trick and differentiates itself from the same old stale card premise. 5 stars all the way!
Bud
Magnet-0 is more than just a 'trick'. This is an amazing concept that can be utilized in many different routines.
These young men are not only geniuses, but charming as they present and explain the routine(s) in detail. They have covered every base and this product is worth every cent.

Just a follow-up on the issue of the plastic lid covering the charging port. There are no threads in the Sharpie cap, (at least not mine), which means the plastic lid does not unscrew to get to the port as Henry appears to be doing in the video. The cover has to be 'popped' out. Not sure if this is true on all Sharpie caps or just the new pre-ordered ones like I have. Other than that, my initial review still stands - this is a superb item!
Gerhard
Top Gimmick, Top teaching. Thanks to Harry and Armando!
Derek
This is a really top-notch product. In general, anything Harry puts out you should buy. Immediately. Beautifully made, and works perfectly. This is the type of gimmick where the effect is limited only by your imagination, routining, and connection with spectators. In the wrong hands, this might fall flat. In the right hands, this can be a miracle that people will never forget. The gimmick does all the work -- to make a miracle you just need to think about how to set the stage and showcase whatever story of supernatural powers you want to tell. It's not cheap. But if you like the effect, and think you can create a good presentation around it, rest assured that the gimmick will do the rest and is absolute fantastic quality. No 3-d printed gimmicks here.
Jonathan
Great product
Gary
These two guys are terrific teachers. Armando’s difficulty speaking English is actually endearing, as is his final story about the grandfather. The explanations were careful and clear. A good piece of work.
Lee
I love this. Easy walking around magic that blows their minds. I’m not a pro. Perfect for the amateur street wizard.
Louis
I Love it now i can fool my drunk friends i also like the little remote im going to use it with my CHOP cups and balls marker pen ??

This is really very good. I don’t usually go for gadgety props, but this one is practical, easy to put into play and extremely reliable. The fact that as magicians we tend to have a sharpie on the table for some other reason makes it feel very organic. It’s a bit of a one off, so needs some thoughtful routining that goes beyond “look at this cool thing” — but it’s super, super strong. I can attest that the necessary work to get the gaff in and out of play flies right by on the down beat if you have any kind of performing chops. I starting playing around with a shuttle pass but ultimately the simple moves shown on the video are cleaner and all you need. Another tip. The trigger device sits nicely the right way around in the side pocket of a standard men’s suit jacket. You can feel the trigger through the fabric and nail it easily. Back up from the larger group with the spectator who is nominally doing the magic, and it’s invisible. This is a winner.
Omry
The idea is nice and the gimmick is good quality. The real problem is - and this is something that is not mentioned anywhere - that the gimmick is noisy and this is a serious problem. Disappointing, especially since it is a not-so-cheap gimmick. Without the noise it would be a really excellent product.
Michael
Definitely a favorite. Best way to show that you can move an object with your mind from far away. Well worth the cost.

Just picked it up and watched the tutorial and played with it. FANTASTIC. I will highly recommend it even though I obviously haven't performed it. So, I tested the range and it is incredible. I put it in one bedroom, closed the door and walked as far away as I could through the hallway into another room and it still works. I was easily 20 feet away with rooms and walls between me and the gimmick. It does make a "noise" so if you are in a restaurant it is no problem at all. If you pick it up, you should watch the video first so you don't do anything to break the gimmick. It is a short video. So far, happy with it, will see how it does in real performance!

FANTASTIC. I will highly recommend it. I had a chance to perform it. I am on the facebook group and there were numerous complaints about problems charging it. So far I have not run into that problem. Also, there is a review here that says the gimmick is noisy. That is true. I put mine on top of a close-up pad and put glass cup over it. This hides the sound very well. When I was experimenting with it, I placed it on top of a wooden table and it was really noisy -- good thing I discovered that before my performance. So, I tested the range and it is incredible.

Beautifully made, reliable, and oh-so-clever. The nature of the method makes it feel like you're doing real magic when performing Magnet-0. This is such an effective piece for a seemingly off-the-cuff scenario, but I can also see such strong potential for a more formal performance piece as well.
Eric
As a hobbyist, I love gimmicks like this. I must confess I had some difficulty accessing the charging point in the main component but perseverance paid off eventually. I have also frigged a similar component with a magnet in the end so I can easily switch the two, dumping the latter behind my back pocket.

Here's your inner monologue - "I am putting this coin on top of this Cap and then putting a cup over it."
And that's exactly what you are doing. No guilt ! No funny feelings ! No weird pauses ! No hook up set up !
The spectators look you straight in the eyes, because there are no funny moves as you assemble everything. And the cap looks exactly like a Sharpie cap.
I'm even working on some ideas where the spectators can set this up themselves - probably with the right spectator and good instructions will work. Or even hand them the cap, keep their attention as you put a mark on the coin, and then take the cap back right in front of them and set it up. There's some risk here - you'll have to experiment.
As other reviews have mentioned - when used at the right time, right place, right person or group - this will get a reaction far beyond "a trick" and beyond the price point.
And as is mentioned in the instructions - the way the coin falls and moves really looks like something energetically is happening (it is). It's woth a 100 bucks just to see that.
If presented right - failing the first time and then saying ok let's build up some emotion. Think of a fear you have. You're hoing to point at the coin on the count of three and release you fear toward the coin. For example ?
At least even if they don't buy the presentation - the spectator will appreciate the theme of releasing fear.
Again I would use this as a special situation performance, meaning it will work best with a fairly serious presentation.
I think if it's presented "weakly" or as a trick you're missing out dramatically.
Again with this a longer build up works great - if you can talk about energies and things. Keeping in mind 30-40 per cent of people really believe.
As for the noise of the product. In a silent environment the ssound is noticeable. Would I do this at a coffee table surrounded by 5 silent people waiting for something to happen ? Probably not. You'll have to add some sounds. In a restaurant or public area - you really should be fine when there is ambient noise.
The doubters will always be hard to satisfy. But this does draw gasps from many because as I mentioned the set up is so clean, the movement of the coin is shocking and for 100 bucks even though not all will be moved, the ones who do far make up for the so soers.

I wasn't going to get this but I am so glad I decided to anyways. This is definitely a 5 star item. It leaves so much room for performance. This is the type of Gimmick that inspires me to do magic as a hobbiest. I would easily buy another one in the future.
Lundmark
great
Jason
Excellent but.....I ordered one earlier this month and it worked "5 star" great. But after a week or so, it's no longer holding a charge. If I plug it to power, it still works fine. The charging lights go from red to green so everything looks fine but it will not turn on without being plugged in. I'm thinking that I just got a bad battery so I ordered a second unit. I think that I just got a lemon. Assuming my issue is just an outlier, this device is really good.

Bud asks: I'm having the same problem as Andrew is having as stated above. I cannot get access to the charging port. Twisting it doesn't work & I'm afraid to pry the plastic lid off. Bud
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Please email our Support Wizards at magic@vanishingincmagic.com and someone will take care of you.
Kenneth asks: How small is the remote?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:It's about the same size as a remote to unlock a car
Andrew asks: Is anyone else struggling to get access to be able to charge it? I have watched the tutorial video and it comes off easily on his unit but mine does not. I have tried pressing really hard and twisting, placing on a table etc but nothing! Is there another way to open it, if not I feel I have just wasted £90 on a trick that will run out of charge soon and I cannot re charge it!

Bud asks: Is the cap shiny? The cap appears to be a little dull looking in certain images in the video.
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:It looks like a normal Sharpie cap in person.
Douglas asks: When it says "7 second delay", does that mean you only have 7 seconds to perform the feat or 7 seconds after it is activated?
- 1. Chan Henry (creator) responds:The two buttons are on the rexxxe. That means you have FULL control when you want to drop. With the setup taught in the tutorial you can perform it hands free (7 seconds delay function) or perform it with one of the hand gently touching your pants. Hands does not need to reach into your pockets.
- 2. Jim responds:There are two buttons. One is instant, and the other is the delay. The delay starts the countdown after you press it.
- 3. Douglas responds:Jim, Without exposing anything, I am going to assume that instant/7 sec delay buttons are on said person. I guess I literally have a timing issue in the set up. My mind, as convoluted as it is, is tell me that if it is "instant" then you don't really have time to set a glass over it, and if it is a 7 sec delay, then you have about 5 seconds after you put a glass over it to for it to drop... hope I am making sense with my though process.
- 4. Douglas responds:Chan, thank you! That makes more sense to me. I guess I was thinking the timing delay was in the cap itself.
- 5. Jim responds:It can be activated at any point. Balance the coin or whatever, continue your presentation, or cover with a glass. You are under control of when to trigger the instant activation or the 7 seconds. So it will stay balanced until you want it to.
Gerald asks: Is the cap metal or plastic ?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Plastic.
