I love this. This is visual and eye stunning if you don't know how to do it get it. This is the best
thing I've seen as a download this year. If you're not none to his work I would give it a look.

In this download, Chad goes over how to do the basic move, and this in itself looks very very good.
From there he goes into a more advanced version, and some subtleties and tips to make it more
deceptive and more visual. I love all the things he throws in with this, and do believe you can
incorporate this in your routine at any time. The moves are a little knacky, but far from difficult.
I think anybody that has explored card manipulation can get this looking really good in relatively
no time at all. I think my favorite part of this download, would have to be the stories he tells
along with it, which are brilliant and really make your creative juices get to work. And the price
is more then reasonable. Great download Chad 5/5!! Get this now!

Great effect, clearly taught. Even if you think you know how it is done, just buy it to get the
little tips to make it exceptional. This is pure sleight of hand, ie always ready to go. Only reason
I gave it 4 stars is that it requires worn out beat up cards to perform. This is less then ideal,
simply because I will never perform with cards in this condition. I would have to bring extra beat
up cards to be able to perform it. That being said, I highly recommend it.

First of all this is a great effect to add in many card routines. I am a big fan of adding magic
moments during the performance. I am not sure I would perform this during a classic card celection
routine, since the cards used for this effect have to be really worn out and I wouldn't use cards
like that for a normal performance.
However, that doesn't mean that I wouldn't use this. Doing
this in the right time for the right people can be amazing. I would perform this between routines to
add an extra magic moment. I can see how this can be a real reputation maker for somebody if
performed properly.
Having said that, this illusion will take practice to be performed
convinsingly. Don't expect any gimmicks or hold outs when you buy this. This is pure sleight of
hand. Yes, it requires very basic card manipulation skills to do the basic move, and some more
advanced sleights to add a couple of extra convinsers, showing your hand empty back and forth. I
don't consider this to be a negative though. Among all these self-working "miracles" that come out
every day, it's good to see a nice illusion that is accomplished just with sleight of hand. After
all, magicians need to be good at sleight of hand and this is a good opportunity to learn something
new or brush up something that they haven't done in a while. It's worth it.
Don't think that the
sleights involved are extremely difficult to pull off. It will take practice to master it and
perform it flawlessly (and that's the only way it should be performed) but if you are not a complete
novice you will be able to do all the moves pretty quickly.

The effect is amazing but for a lay person who enjoys magic as a hobby it would take way too much
practice before I could do it. I just had to give up. But it's great for a pro who can get it down

I was privileged enough to be in a lecture audience where Chad taught this trick. It looked every
bit as amazing as it does in the video. I saw Chad do this in person more times than I can count and
even knowing how its done, I am still floored by how cool it looks. It is really easy to do, but it
does take practice and dexterity to pull it off with the convincers Chad does. This should be in
every card handler's arsenal.

As I my hands age,I find performing tricks as 'the Bizzaro flip' almost impossible to do. What is
taught here is the fundamental grail of card transference technique. I got a queasy feeling when
the performance didn't seem to jive with the tutorial. Until reality set in. Information and
handling is dirt cheap for the instruction. It is not so much achieving doing the final flourish as
it is just getting there. Oh, yea... if you have aspirations of becoming a magician, like any other
job, it takes dedication, toil, and respect. Ya gotta have the hands, and more importantly, the
soul.

This looks good from the right angle. He does go over every aspect of this in detail and covers it
well. However this does pretty much ruin your cards.

I mean Clad Long is one of my favorit magician , and the 30 minutes seem more like 10 ( Y'know when
you look at the time on some of these / and your like -wow this is going to to be a long video )
Plus , I enjoyed my fun teaching and I pick up the handling on this right a way / so the one reason
I wanted this . But it was afterwards that I'm like " well , that's it . " Pay 10 $ on something I
shuold have been able to put 2 & 2 together on my own . Of course it could have been twice as much
so- But for everyone else . . . I highly recommed this . -Cheers
