Comments from some users:
Hi guys I too am one of the lucky owners of this great product, and have used it a few times at work already.
I love using this as it is so clean, and you can really perform some amazing stunts.
at the moment I am getting people to write down a name of somebody and to tear off the sheet and place it in there pocket, then to pass the pad to the next person and get them to draw a picture. this is all done at the back of the audience, then on stage I have all the infomation I need.
The great thing is that you can select how many people you want to write down infomation, then see it on your screen as a slide show as you reach in for your pen and pad.
I have all the items from Labco and I have never had better service from any other dealer. I also recomend the Table, with this you can create your own very strong routine.

Well I finally got mine and used it for the first time last night. It worked like a dream.... I'm still working on the routine, I think that will take me another 4 or 5 months to finally nail that. (I tend to develop my routines through performance with an audience.)
When I did my reveal of the two specators 'thoughts' there was an audible gasp before the applause. It's almost enough to make me give up the comedy ;-)
Like any electronic items, confidence only comes through constant use and experience that it is solid. I have two other Labco produced effects UFO II and, obviously, Nana's box (via Alakazam.) Both of these have proved 100% reliable so I am pretty confient that Mind Buster won't let me down. It does have a lot of options and I spent a few days playing and getting accustomed to them.
With regards to the folder and the pen. I used the folder for some other things prior to the effect which I think helps to establish the item as a regular prop (It looks just like what it is anyway so no real issue) I have added some personal papers and business cards etc. As for the pen I use anther pen which 'run's out of ink' as I try to write onto the sheet just before the effect. The neccessary pen is then taken from a selection of pens on my table as I make a gag "It's ok I have some others here that I borrowed from my local bank"
If you know that you will use this item then I don't think you will regret the initial outlay.
I know that I have a relationship with labco through 'Nana's box' but I promise this mail is a genuine sentiment and certainly a good buy from my point of view.

Just recieved this. I am a big fan of Soren's work and he has really outdone himself here!
This is an awesome piece of kit in all respects. As always with Soren, the whole thing is packaged beautifully in it's own case complete with precision cut out padding. I immediately painted the pen and added a clip, it now looks very nice and different enough from what it actually is to satisfy me.
The functioning is brilliant with plenty of variables available in terms of number of spectators, timing of displays for multiple drawings, etc. Soren has thought of everything to make this a very user friendly and versatile system. It is incredibly clear and precise in output. Pictures, words and numbers all come out perfect on the receiver. The automatic screen filling feature is great!
Very pleased with this as I always have been with Labco's awesome range of stuff and highly recommend it for mentalists.

Cheers,
