The DEX design is very good however the type of plastic used {free business card holder from an auto body shop} will stretch, tear and yellow over time especially the clear section. The half Moon cutouts on the clear section have sharp tips that jab underneath your fingernails, so I clipped those points off. Also I'd prefer rivet bolts vs the glue/adhesive. The plastic {organizer/binder material} used on Cheetah is very durable and will last a decade, however the stretchy fabric band will wear out and dry rot much sooner than the plasti-flex portion. A combination of both Cheetah and Dex would be ideal. Perhaps a DEX 2.0 is possible. What shines on this project are the digitals that J-Dog and Double L put together for Dex. The information, techniques and details are on point. Bonus: The collectable tin box is cool, and sports rad graffix with Shazzam/Black Atom vibes. 🖤
Wow I had no idea there was such controversy over a magic tool. I ordered mine because my parents are coming to visit next month and I know my dear old mum will be very impressed. Overkill for impressing pensioners? Maybe, but it’ll be worth it for the treasured memories. Thanks Lloyd ❤️✌️
I'm not a magician, but I love watching your channel. Regarding the shape in the pocket, did you see Markobi's World Champ performance? He had an intentional square bulge in his pocket. Everyone thought "Index!" Then he pulled out a Kit-Kat and offered it around 🙂
Fast is good, but accuracy is more important when shooting (bullets or arrows) or using indexes. Accuracy comes from practice...whether you're using Dex, Cheatah, The Advocate, Q-5, Indexed, or any other index. So you will still have to put in the work. I am anxious to receive mine. I've been watching the tutorials for it, and I am truly impressed with all of the instructional value. Even if you've never used an index before, you will be able to learn to use this in a very short time... and if you do have experience with indexes, I'm sure you'll find something stimulating and useful, as well. I own Cheatah and I love it, but it is a 2-pocket index. It is awesome, too. I may utilize both - Keep Cheatah in my blazer (jacket) pockets and Dex in my trouser pocket for some specific "miracles" with each. 🤠
Lloyd, I’m a complete amateur and I received Dex in the post today. I can already locate cards in my trouser pocket in under 5s!!! I still need to work on taking them out of my pocket naturally 😂 (any hints greatly received) but basically if I can do it, anyone can. You’re the best!
If the routine is about a deck of cards,or the attention is shifted on other things, no one will ever focus on the pocket. It’s like you won’t clear your pocket when you do an invisble deck. “so the audience may look at my pocket and think i secretly add a card to it…” Anyway, congrats on the big success of DEX! Amazing product & tutorials 🎉
Love the openness and kindness of this response. ur such a sound guy LLoyd. I haven't even got Dex but I appreciate this so much. Thanks for being such a positive guy in the community, love it!
I will have to wait for another batch I reckon. They sold out here in Japan almost instantly. I hope another batch even comes here. I wear baggy clothes. I am a big man. This thing should be almost invisible in my pocket.
Fantastic points! Magicians always forget about the perspective of the spectator. Usually their concerns are valid if they’re actually trying to fool other magicians at their next meet with their shiny new toy and method. Looking forward to receiving mine!
The work you and Javier have done on this is fabulous. After all of the debates and the drama, you guys have created something that is massively useful to the magic community. Ignore the trolls that I would guess don't even come close to your creativity and vision.
Out of scope question, but Lloyd said that was a Quiver wallet. I thought Quiver was more like a coin purse. That wallet design looks intriguing though. Did he mistakenly get the name wrong? Maybe mixed up E products and that’s a Hermes wallet?
Ordered! This looks great, Lloyd! Congrats!
Thanks dude! Means a lot! Let's catch soon 🫶
My two favorite magicians in the same TH-cam comment section.. dreams do come true 😂

I'm not a magician, but I can't wait to blow the mind of my 5 year old daughter with this! Love your channel Lloyd!

Film your Mum's reaction dude!
@@LloydB oh trust me, I will. I’ve fooled her with way less 😉

THIS MOFO Barnes is the REAl DEAL! He makes magic look real! I ordered 2.
Cant wait to get this in the rep. Only a poor craftsman blames their tools. Great effect! Not that you need my praise... Point stands. Love your work!

Mine should be here on Saturday. I can't wait!
I don’t think you can be any more honest mate
My Dex has just arrived!
This is AMAZING
New EDC
Well done guys!
After seeing all the promo material and the hard work you guys put into this, I really want one of the prototypes as well lol. Great product.

I have a problem with Dex, who can I contact? The glue comes off for me and so there are problems
HAIL THE DEX!!!
Cant wait to receive it. Are you based in London @Llyod ??
He's from south wales
I'm about 3 hours away, in Wales 🏴
@@LloydB oh cool, love your stuff man. If you need spectator to test your stuff, I'll be more than happy to be a part of that :)

Ah nightmare! Bet the wait is too much! 🫶
☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
This is gonna be great
☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
🍿
Patiently waiting for my order from Penguin... (checks mail box) Dammit still not here!!! 😭😭
Great response video. Not defensive at all IMO. Congrats on the launch of the product. Wishing you and Javier much success.
It's a shame that people are criticizing such a good product just because they had unrealistic expectations...
I will have to wait for another batch I reckon. They sold out here in Japan almost instantly. I hope another batch even comes here. I wear baggy clothes. I am a big man. This thing should be almost invisible in my pocket.
The point where the pocket should not even come under the radar is spot on.
Fantastic points! Magicians always forget about the perspective of the spectator. Usually their concerns are valid if they’re actually trying to fool other magicians at their next meet with their shiny new toy and method. Looking forward to receiving mine!
I would not worry about all the whiners on that bullshit website man congrats to you and Javier this is great
Mine is on the way. Ty Lloyd and Javier❤ cannot wait!
A great and - first and foremost - really honest review, well done, Lloyd!

Looks great. Thanks for a fair display of how it could work. And the 10 card count great advice also.
I can't believe this guy had to make a video explaining any of this. I think he made a good product, live and let live jeez
Any chance I could get this for free or reduced discount at least because I bought lux earlier this year and it came broken it just didint work at all
