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.

First: What you get

 

Erasing ex's 

The spectator is asked to write down on a whiteboard the names of 4 of their ex-partners. The magician then blindfolds himself and asks the spectator to erase the names of the board one-by-one. Every time they erase a name the magician reveals which name they chose. This routine is highly entertaining and can serve as a good ice-breaker. 

Flight prediction

The magician introduces an envelope with a prediction in it. He then asks a volunteer to write down on a whiteboard 4 different countries and on the other side 4 of their relatives. The magician then blindfolds himself, and the volunteer starts to eliminate some of the countries. As they do that, the magician amazingly guesses which countries they chose to eliminate. The same goes for the relatives. eventually there is only one country and one relative left. The magician then opens the envelope that was set on the table the entire time and reveals that there is a letter inside with 2 plane tickets with the correct country and relative name on it.
