The first ALL-BLACK Fields Device.

This isn’t just another piece of plastic with a bulldog clip — it’s a VERY SPECIAL piece of plastic with the clip removed from an “ordinary” clipboard and riveted into place!

Notice the smooth, matte-finish surface. The problem with earlier versions of the Fields Device is if the light is too bright, the audience volunteer can see the waxy impression. This device uses a matte-finish plastic, discovered by Hal Weaver, with the necessary chemical properties to take an invisible impression from NCR paper.

Ideal for pre-show work design duplication.

No inner sleeves, carbon paper, or surface layer of any kind. Just a black plastic clipboard such as anyone might find in any office supply store … with two important exceptions:

This is available in TWO sizes: 6" x 9" memo size and 12.5" x 9.5" letter size (which will accomodate A4 European letter size.

The Black Mantis comes with TWO clipboards, instructions, a supply of the special paper, and enough developer for several hundred performances.  The cost is $75, postpaid in the US for the Memo size, and $100 Postpaid, for the Letter size. Each package comes with an instruction DVD which covers all aspects of the Black Mantis.

I also have a economy bundle which comes with ONE clipboard, which is $50 for the Memo Size and $75 for the Letter size.
