The performer asks, "Would you like to see the I Hate David Copperfield trick? Do you know why I call it that? Because "I Hate David Copperfield". I actually don't hate him. He's a really nice guy and a great magician... it's just that every time people find out I'm a magician they start comparing me to him. "Can you walk through the Great Wall of China?" "Can you make the Statue of Liberty disappear?" "Do you date a super model?" That last one hurts the most. So I decided to do something Copperfield can't do. A close-up illusion that happens right before your eyes."

The performer then visibly and cleanly melts one card through another in a manner that looks like trick photography... but live in person, and 3 times!

Very good effect, but... Report this review

Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 5th, 2010

This is very visual, and reasonably easy to do. There are no real sleights involved, but you do need to work out the routine sequence. The one downside is that the cards aren't examinable... and given what you're showing the spectator, they're going to have a strong urge to want to check them out.

The only thing I don't get is, why would anyone want to buy this as a stand-alone effect, when for a few dollars more, you can get Miracles For Mortals in which Williams covers this effect, plus another hour+ of pretty solid material? Given this choice, I'd definitely opt for the full DVD, and make the gimmick myself. It's simple enough to do that I wouldn't recommend paying a premium for it.

Official B_Magic Review! Report this review

Hi! This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer B_Magic! I recently had the pleasure of meeting Geoff Williams and seeing this effect live and in person from the master himself before buying it. It really is an amazing effect that will get reactions! If you like packet tricks, and you want something that packs small but plays HUGE, you need to pick this up. With proper performance and practice (as with all effects), this one will make jaws hit the floor.

Amazing Trick, but... Report this review

Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 27th, 2012

This is Larry Jennings' "Close Up Illusion." I love Geoff Williams' creativity, and his presentation is interesting (except, I love David Copperfield,) however, as far as I know it's not his trick to teach, unless he bought the rights. Also, Williams teaches this effect on "Miracles for Mortals" which I whole-heartedly recommend, and is a better value for your money.

Amazingly visual! Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 3rd, 2010

The best thing about this effect is that it is super visual. The card truly looks like it's melting through the other cards. Plus, it is super simple to do. I was able to perform it within a day of receiving it. The reactions are huge! But you have to make sure the audience is really paying attention because if they are not paying close attention, they might miss it. Very visual and is not a pick a card trick.

The I hate Copperfield card illusion Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 11th, 2009

Sometimes the simpler the better.
This is one illusion that belongs in the 'Most effective but easiest to do" category.
Because of an injury to my left hand incured during the Viet Nam war I am unable to do most card tricks so an illusion of this type is perfect for me. The 'wow' factor is a 10.
I recommend it to everyone who loves close-up magic.

Great Easy Effect Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 28th, 2012

I just want to say, I am sometimes a little critical of some of the magic sold. I have to say this makes up for several of the past bad choices I have made. I love this effect, presentation and simplicity. Will start putting this to work ASAP.

Great looking trick Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 12th, 2014

This trick gets revealed a lot on the web and let me just say - those revelations are ALL WRONG! This is the real deal and if you've only watched this on the web, you haven't seen the real deal! Geoff's effect is beautiful and his handling is superb! Don't settle for the cheap imitation! Pick this up. Here is my video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=373UHBZTjMM

Not Saying Anything New. Report this review

Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 21st, 2013

Awesome. Simple as that, I do this all the time & everywhere! My wife figures some stuff out cause she knows some of my sleights & she is usually the 1st person show things to. If I can get a reaction out of her it goes in to my briefcase...After a year of doing this, she has not figured this out & it still freaks her out.

Simply amazing! Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 31st, 2012

I do a lot of research before I buy an effect, and I've been thinking about this one for a couple of years. Wow! I'm glad I got this one! It's very, very easy to do and the illusion of the card melting through is just jaw-dropping! Of course, you'll have to clean up after the effect if you want to be totally clean, which is why I will use the Ultimate Card Control Utility for this, and other, effects.

Brilliant, simply brilliant.
