What a great trick! When they say self working, they mean it. It's also quite fun to do. I casually
place the box in front of my spectator as if I'm preoccupied with something else, and ask them if
they'd please take the cards out and shuffle them. They can't lift them. I look up, realize the
problem, and mutter "sorry, must have left the parking brake on", at which point I reach over, pick
them up and give them the cards to shuffle. It's hilarious. It's a new principle, as far as I can
tell, but oh so easy to do. Buy it, you'll love it.

Love the simplicity of how this works and truly I get the concept of how it works, but just not sure
why it works. Very easy to do, no hard moves or switches or anything “sneaky”. Reason only 4 stars
is the “instructional video”. Short and to the point, however NOTHING regarding the “care and
handling” of the gimmick, ie: do you need to clean it, if so how often and how best to do it, if it
breaks or comes apart how can it be fixed, and nothing about proper handling or any routine ( which
is OK as it is easy to work something out) but still would be nice with a few suggestions/ideas.
Button line, this is very cool and with some playing around, it’ll be fine, just wish the
video was longer then two minutes.

Since I purchased other light and heavy props before with mixed results my expectations were low
that Unliftable would be any better. To my surprise it actually worked right out of the box. The
video tutorial is adequate and the written instructions cover all the details. My suggestions is to
watch the video and then try it a few times. Then go back and read the rest of the information so it
will make sense. A fair price for the prop and tutorial.

Highly recommended.
I am an old man who has been doing magic for a long time. It is rare for
an item to come in to which I say, "That is incredible." I was stunned by this right out of the
box. I had read the no . . . (e.g., no wires, magnets, etc) but thought that it must be the
application of something that I already knew.
Nope, never heard of this, never seen anything
like this, it is incredible. I only wonder why this principle is not known very much in the "real
world."
Bottom line: I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed with this. It could be used at
home with friends, in the office as an icebreaker, or in a walkaround/close-up situation. No arts
and crafts, no difficult moves, an incredible effect with something that you already carry around;
all for 25 bucks.

This has baffled my restaurant crowd. Everyone jumps to magnets, but the tables are all Formica. So
my new patter includes the great invention of the 'Formica Magnet'. About half believe that. This
is a great gimmick.

I always wanted a light and heavy chest, but they are too expensive, bulky, and not good for walk
around. This is a perfect solution. You can have a full deck of cards in it before, during, and
after. The set up is super fast, you even end clean too. The box is a heavy duty box too, it doesn't
feel like the cardboard of a regular card box. Any smooth surface will work, like glass and wood, as
long as it is dry and clean. The video is short, not even three minutes long, but it gets right to
the point. My spectators love this. I use my key fob to "unlock" the deck. Other times I put a
picture of a dumbbell inside and after I lift it, I show the picture to a spectator. I'm having a
lot of fun with this trick and you will too.

At last! A prop that does EXACTLY what the demo shows...and it is ready to go right out of the box.
Superb effect.

I bought this because I had to know how this is done, and it didn’t disappoint. Effect is very
visual, and easy to perform. Buy this you won’t regret it.

After no less than 10 attempts to "set" the deck, it was able to become slightly difficult to lift,
not impossible.
It required the surface of my fire tablet. I tried on a kitchen table, no luck,
secretly tried on a bar top that was sealed in poly- nope, I picked it right up.
This card case
will reside in my drawer as a reminder to think hard before pulling the trigger- this one is not
worth the $.
