Magic Tricks

First, and so far my only complaint, the instructions are on murphy's magic and not in my penguin downloads. I'd love to at least be able to discuss it if not view it with penguin peeps.

Now the good stuff!
This trick works the way I expected it to. But is so slick and clearly well researched and field tested. I opened the gimmick and knew exactly how it worked and what I needed to do. Another cool thing is they have hand tested each one and set it up to be show ready with the 8 of H. So I had confidence in the hand made product. But I still went to the instructions. Are you a new magician? Because that's an important step lol

Instructions, crystal clear and broken up into sections you can skip back and forth between. I had no trouble understanding and watching the break down of this effect. Every step, beat and motion has been tried tested and justified. From safely setting up to the desired values and letters to performance instructions(every step and why) to the close and clean up that leaves you ready for your next card trick. And guys, there is lots of bonus material for the beginners out there to have success.

The reset, takes seconds. Find the time to do it, find a way to do it secretly between tables. (It isn't instant and it does take 2 hands) Or just do it once between breaks back stage. AndYes! it takes a longer time and is more involved to change the marks that appear. But I'd say, have your assistant do it for you back stage while you patter or just commit to forcing one card that night.

Durability? Ok, so don't sit on this thing. Keep it in a shirt pocket and protected. But there isn't anything that can really fail on you. And if it did, you could easily repair most of it yourself. But clunky is not the word to discribe it. It's as thin and elegant as it can be. Angles? Dude every trick has an angle that doesn't work or should at least be avoided. This guy has virtually 1 angle that's bad, and it's easily covered.

I am a full time working magician. This trick is great. And I'm happy to clairify anything I've written for those who are afraid of the poor reviews. I'm glad I bought it. And I have friends I will refer it to.
