Bought this a while back, and since then it's been re-release at a lower cost so I'll buy more
myself
First off the gimmick is indeed fragile and will need time to get used to setting it up
without seeming too cautious, but when you get beyond this fear that's the only downside I see
It really is as good as it looks in the trailer live and kicks ass on social. You will love to
do this yourself and for a quick powerful routine it certainly packs a punch. You won't regret it
🤘👍👍

Pro: very cool effect, simply handling, very basic slight needed (as in beginner slight), and
pretty cool to do, very visual. The gimmick is well made and seriously does hid in plain sight,
it’s right there but completely unnoticeable. Instruction video was well presented and clearly
shows how to work the gimmick, including a couple of methods of cleaning up, as well as a couple of
options for walk around where you don’t have a table, and it’s just as effective. Video also shows
how to repair the gimmick if it breaks.
Cons: none really, I’m still playing with the
“set-up” move to place the cards down for the “breath” that changes the cards, but as always, it’s
all about the practice. Only other “issue” is that video says that extra “materials” are included
in case you need to make any repairs, mine didn’t have that.
Overall, a well made gimmick,
fairly easy to use, very visual change, and I think I actually like the “ in hand change” versus
the table change, but I’m more of a walk around kind of guy. And I can see the gimmick being used
in a lot more ways.

This is one of those packet tricks that are so simple but yet with amazing visuals that could
potentially fool magicians too and with a very easy move everything could be be examinable at the
end.

Just like the trailer,blow has a "I don't believe what just happened " effect on people.The tutorial
is fine.As with any effect practice is necessary.It is not a difficult effect to do.I have already
had to repair it but that is it being used for a lot of performances.I purchased another one as a
backup but that's my choice and use.Good price for a great effect.

By the time you finish the short tutorial and have a few run-throughs with the gimmick, you'll be
good to go. The trick itself is a lot of fun and the creator does give a few alternative handlings
if you are without a table. None of these alternatives are watered down and some are even as strong
as the original trick. I usually worry about causing damage to these types of gimmicks but because
this is pretty simple to put together, I'm less concerned. Pleased with this!

NOVICE MAGICIANS: you CAN learn this trick and become a real-life wizard. The video instruction is
right to the point and you'll learn some valuable magic theory that you can use with other tricks.
WORKING MAGICIANS: this is a great little weapon to add to your walk-around. Both phases
of this routine will blow the audiences mind...I had the trick mastered before the video was
complete and it honestly is a great reminder of why I got into magic in the first place.
Also, great little tutorial on how to repair the gimick!

Unbelievable

YES! I've read other posts of individuals that were "not so pleased" with the gimmick. Listen, it is
ALL in the handling and if you give yourself proper time to practice, you can master this. To all
serious magicians, I'd like to add that a bit of "roughing stick or plasti dip" just might solve
your problem and if you can catch a hint.....easily replaceable.

This is potentially a very cool trick but unfortunately the gimmick is very finicky and it is
extremely difficult to consistently get the cards to work together without exposing the secret. I
find it too inconsistent and risky to use with most audiences.
