I usually don't start product threads because I'm rarely impressed enough to start one; however, I just received Joe's Magic Eye and wanted to report back to the group.

This thing is simply amazing. It's such a good idea, I'm not really sure where to start.

For me, it really helped me "see" the CTE alignment with perfect center ball positioning. The 3rd eye has this piece of plastic that has a blue translucent stripe going straight up and down. When you focus on the OB, the stripe doubles-- allowing you to center a target between them.

The Magic Eye helps you train your eyes how to focus, identifies how to align to the exact CB/OB overlap and stroking at center ball (all at the same time). This forces your head/eyes into the position required to "see" a straight line.

Being able to see/feel 100% where the exact reference line is located is huuuge for me, personally. I suspect anyone using fractions or pivot systems that require the location of CTE, 90/90, or 1/4 ball... this is going to be a "have to have" thing.

I honestly feel like I'm playing with a heads-up display.

Joe-- just a suggestion: Make a version that has a cue-clip and plastic only--- without the forks. Once someone fine tunes with the 3rd eye and magic eye--- it'd be cool to have a "magic-eye-only" version.

Anyways, just wanted to share a really positive experience with a pool product. For those new readers who don't know, Joe's (JoeT) stuff is pretty sporty - and this is the sportiest of them all. :grin-square:
 
Link to the Magic Eye PLEASE!

I plan on ordering one soon, just to try it out. Everything I have ever purchased from Joe has been far better than I expected!

And Pushout, contact Joe, he will probably take care of it for you.

Already on the way:grin:
 
I've used the 3rd Eye for years. I break it out every once in a while to check my perception of center ball in relation to my dominant eye. However, you never knew if you were aligned properly to the OB.

It takes a few minutes to get used to aiming in between the double blue line, but when you do--- it's amazing.

This thing really tells you if you're pointing at the correct target on the OB and forces you to center ball while you do it. I can't believe no one thought of this before.
 
Thanks to this thread I just ordered one from Ozone billiards. Can't hurt. I definitely strike to the right of aim point.
 
Hey fan tum, did you get 3rd eye or magic eye from ozone?
I see 3rd eye but don't find magic eye.

Ah Jeez, don't tell me I ordered the wrong thing--I think I did. I ordered the one that fits over the tip with the two prongs sticking out. Oh well, I can use it anyway.

The more I think about it, the one I ordered looks like a more beneficial tool for my stroking problem anyway. There's 2 things going on at the same time..i aim slightly to the right of center(didn't realize till I was told), and I strike to the right of aim point. Out of desperation sometimes I'll play right-handed and shoot about the same speed.

The Third Eye will help with that, alright!
 
Joe does not have the Magic Eye for sale by itself yet. If you ordered the Third Eye he includeds the magic eye when he ships it. You are getting a great deal :)

I don't think that know one has never thought of this before. I have known for years that I had an alignment problem. What I didn't know was what caused it. The cause was my perception flaw. Now that I have been using Joe's magic eye for a year now, my perception is true and I can easily diagnose why I missed a shot. The aiming and stroke drills that I use are more enjoyable now because I am more consistent and I am able to immediately correct any aiming or stroke flaws. Joe's aiming by the numbers method is far superior to any methods I used before and I highly recommend his workout drills and practice balls. I am glad you discovered Joe T. and all that he has to offer. He has been a great resource for me. I hope that anyone out there that wants to improve their game, will seek out a teacher and in addition, use Joe's tools and methods.

I think you misread my post. I didn't just discover JoeT--- and the Magic Eye is "brand new." I think you're confusing it with his 3rd Eye (fork).

The Magic Eye is a clear piece of plastic that extends perpendicular from the 3rd Eye trainer. The plastic has a blue stripe that is exactly centered on the plastic. When you look at the OB and focus your eyes on that point, the blue stripe doubles. There's a head position where the distance between the blue stripes is the greatest - and that's the least parallax. You then center your target between the blue lines. Therefore, this is amazing to determine where you want to send the center of the CB to---it works REALLY well.

I'll post a pic...BRB

This isn't totally accurate, because the camera doesn't see this the way your eyes would while playing. That blue stripe doubles-- and the midpoint is your target.

I know it looks a little strange, but if you think you're sighting accurately-- ha, give this little baby a test drive to see where you're really seeing.

The plastic is hard to see--- but you can see my reflection in it.
