Nice but those are not PK. Look at what Wizard PK has put out. They have a number of DVDs including a nice new series by Randi Rain.

Side note, when PK is referenced it usually refers to the use of a certain item to achieve the effect, in Psychokinetic Silverwear, an excellent video if you can get past Gerry being Gerry, physical means rather than a gimmick is used.

I don't think so, PK means a specific thing in magic while Psychokinetics refers to a larger field. They were good recommendations though. Don, you want PK as in rings or just movement?

"PK", in the magic industry, has come to refer to effects performed with a large controlling magnet, like the PK EFFECT first invented and released by Patrick Snowden. Of course, in the real world it does mean "Psychokinesis." (The supposed ability to move objects with psychic power).

AlienMind,
The mentalism guys love to use the term "PK". Nothing we can really do about it. It was not their fault that Patrick's effect with a magnet (The PK Factor*) would capture the art's imagination and become a generic term. Myself, I just look at what the effect is on offer and then decide, "Is it done with a large magnet?" When I answer this question, then I know how the term is being used. You'll soon get the hang of it. It's a fun creative excercise. Cheers Ben *I named this incorrectly as THE PK EFFECT in my intial post. Which, MagicSanta, means I'm still "evil" but not so "genius." Ha!!!

Ben is again correct. Guys like Banachek use PK as it is used in the psuedo-science world but the fellow asking the question was asking in the magic market world, which relates to that specific item used to bring about effect. PK has other meanings in other industries but are we going to assume they do not apply here? I am making that assumption.

Ben was correct when he assumed that I was talking about a PK ring, PK coin, M5 Pro, etc. That's the kind of things I need some instructions and ideas for. Magnetic stuff.
Sure, I know how to do a few things like make a coin roll over, make pages in a book turn by themselves, stop a watch, etc. But, the lack of info and ideas I have, leave a lot to be desired. Also, just simple things like how do I use the magnetic switches I have and various other stuff has me confused. I NEED some serious and top notch instructional stuff on this whole area of magic. So any ideas along that line with links to buy it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Don Itjen |
