So some people seem to be concerned about the angles on this thing. Yes, with the way the DVD shows
the performance, you need to be careful of the angle. HOWEVER, there is a different way to do this
trick.
Think about it: What is the "magic" here? Is the magic that you are pulling items out of
a card box? No. The magic happens when you later pull the DECK OF CARDS out (i.e., how can a deck of
cards fit in there with all those items?). Therefore, you do NOT have to keep moving the deck back
and forth between each item you pull out an item. If you really feel the need to show the back of
the deck you can do so as the last large item is pulled (before you take out the notebook). Just
keep the deck facing naturally outward to audience with your hand around the deck as you pull out
the objects, and then show them whatever you want once everything is gone--it's completely
examinable and they will be amazed.

The concept and thinking of it is very nice, however there is a HUGE angle problem with this.
Good trick for youtube videos but not to use in real world close up situations.

This is a great concept, however the angles aren't great.However for one person this really is
amazing.

This slightly overpriced prop and dvd is interesting. It should encourage the user to come up with a
good presentation that introduces the deck AND, at the same time, plays to at least fifty people. As
you can guess,it is not easily resettable for strolling magicians. But, we can live with that IMHO
if the effect is made to play to many people and establish the magician's character, especially if
it is a perverse one. Not only the props extracted, but the script must be put together with love
and care. If the performer can do this, the effect is a bargain. I already knew my presentation
before the purchase. Now, if I can just get those special props for the contents...

Great effect with a very nice clean-up on it. While I love this trick, I hate the fact that they
don't mention you'll need a red Mandolin back deck to use with it. While you could possibly use a
Rider back or Maiden back instead, you can't use this with any other deck to have it work unless you
modify it on your own. So when you buy this, go ahead and include one in your cart.

This is a good effect,the gimmick is what i expected it to be but it is a lot more complicated
/clever than you think
a lot of time and effort went into making this,it's made from
indestructible and vinyl paper,so it should last quite a while .
It's actually basically angle
proof,which shocked me
i like it

This trick is what i expected it to be. It is fun to perform and you can use the objects later on in
your act. It is a little angle sensitive but if you practice right then you will have no problems.
If you have pockets with some extra room for all the objects that get pulled out then you can do
this as a street performance too. I will be using this trick alot.
