GOING WHERE NO COIL HAS GONE BEFORE!

The Trek is an invaluable tool that will allow you to do many astonishing PK type effects. You can seem to physically move solid objects with only the power of your mind! You can open and close wooden boxes at will. Make coins stand on end or cause a deck of playing cards to spread across a table by themselves to reveal a selected card and much more! A must have piece of technology for any magician or mentalist!

Let’s talk about every feature pointed out above but first “The Trek” was first released at the 2019 Magic Live convention, it was a hit! Since then I have thought about a few features which I added “Vibrating blast”, “Dead-mans switch” these two have become my favorites!

Vibrating Coil – The vibration coil is not new to me I first developed this in 2018 but did not put it in too many effects. At the heart of this feature is its ability to vibrate any relics above it by using opposing magnets like 4 in a cross which will make the cross shake “vibrate” above the coil. This is unique to my coils and is a first anywhere.

Dead-mans switch “panic” – I locate this switch on the coil inside the card case, when activated it counts down to 10 seconds then it turns the coil on to full blast! You never have to use the remote if you choose not to. By the way, the remote will vibrate when you push this panic button and once again right before it performs the full blast function in about 10 seconds. Although a panic switch is not unique, I am the first to use it on a coil.

350 Volts in under 5 seconds – This is my strongest coil to-date and I believe it is the most powerful coil mass-produced. Although for 3/4 blast you can trigger the coil at any time. A full blast charge time will range from 1 to 6 seconds depending on the Trek version. if you are using the rechargeable battery that comes standard with the Trek and if fully charged you can expect to see a full charge time at around 5 seconds and if you order it in 4 AA’s “version” then that time is cut down to 4 seconds, although this version is slightly larger. We also have an upgraded version that charges instantly, no waiting, no counting, although it is slightly larger. For most performers, the standard version will be there last coil purchase. There is no coil to-date that can even come close to the power and the speed of charge of The Trek. If that does not get you excited, then what about this 1000mAH rechargeable Lipo? I have been asked why? Such a large battery in The Trek? the simple answer is I can, but really if I cannot use it all day/days at a magic convention then how do I expect you to use it?

User Remote – On the remote, there are 2 big easy to trigger buttons and both are to trigger the one coil function, press A or B and they do the same thing full blast. Besides these buttons, you have a hidden Program button, if you press this button it will check the connection with the Trek coil and vibrate at you so you know all is well and ready, this vibration even alerts you to the battery strength. If you press and hold this button it goes into setup mode where you can program your delays. If you press both buttons on top A and B and hold them, the system toggles from a full coil to a vibrating coil and performs the vibration coil! Press A or B again and it performs the full blast like before. Easy! The remote is hands-free and toe-free we use a magnetic switch and when you get a magnet close to it and then remove the magnet, it performs the full blast function if you leave the magnet there for about 2 or more seconds it performs the vibration function.

Think of it like this…

1- seconds, function 1 “full blast”

2+ seconds, function 2 vibration coil

Panic Button – I talked a little about this function above but I would like to talk about it a little more the panic button is not on the remote but on The Trek coil and if you get a magnet near the charging port, it will trigger this delay function. The purpose of this button is so that if you feel that your hands are “hot” you don’t have to go anywhere near your remote. And as expected, if you forgot to charge the remote you can still perform The Trek!

Remote Distance – Typically, the remotes range depends on numerous factors—indoor/outdoor obstructions, payload of the message, the antenna used, etc. On average, in an urban environment with an outdoor connection, you can expect up to 2- to 3-km-wide coverage, while in the rural areas it can reach beyond 7 km in perfect conditions. This remote technology modulates the data into electromagnetic waves. It uses a transmission method called “Chirp Spread Spectrum,” encoding data in frequency-modulated “chirps.” This transmission method has been used in military and space communication for decades. Range depends on “radio line-of-sight.” Radio waves in the 400- to 900-MHz range may pass through some obstructions, depending on their composition, but will be absorbed or reflected otherwise. This means that the signal can potentially reach as far as the horizon, as long as there are no physical barriers to block it. Elevating the remote above the relic, for example—will maximize its range. Other factors will also have a large impact on range.

So how does this equate to actual performance? I have said all of this so you know when I say it will work it will! 5 feet easy, 20 feet no problem, 50 or even 100 feet away it will still work. At Magic Live I had magicians walk around the convention with no impact what so ever on its receiving range! At ECSS I had visitors at my booth go downstairs and outside with NO impact on the receiving range. I know that you will fall in love with this remote and it’s only found here at Arcane Relics!

Uses of The Trek – At Magic Live I included a group of relics that came with it at a higher cost, but I have decided not to include those relics and offer the Trek at a lower starting price point. A lot of maker magicians will be able to DIY their own effects, but I will also offer these for starters…

• First, up is a relic called Three Little Ghost by John Ferrentino and Joe Silkie with a Mod/bonus routine using the Trek by me. This is a must-have!!!
• A wooden box that will hold 4 or 5 decks of cards or other items needed for your presentation.
• Shimmed cards, photos, pencils, coins, etc.
• Whole effects like Chimed, Knock Knock, Visited, House of Horrors, and more.
• Routines by John Ferrentino, Joe Silkier, Vince Wilson, and others.
