I saw this on sale here, and it looked interesting. I read the description, watched the trailer, and
went over to Magic Cafe. There was a lot of carping on that board about what was left out of the
trailer, how the map is not quite an accurate London tube map, how the creator of the effect
mispronounced Ruslip... you know, the usual stuff. I took the plunge anyway, and boy, am I glad that
I did! (Some of those folks on Magic Cafe are just idiots, plain and simple.) This is a fantastic
parlor or walk-around piece with at least four different routines built in. The main effect and a
bonus one where you get the telephone number of the chosen station correct are just staggering--and
they rely on tried-and-true mentalism techniques as well as a clever c***. The other two effects
aren't bad either.
As for the price, just remember that you are getting essentially a book
test in a map. So I was more than satisfied with paying under $50. This thing will fry minds. (And
it is almost impossible to reverse engineer.)
I can't believe that I hadn't seen or heard
about Tube, even though it's been around for a few years. While the children at Magic Cafe argue in
the sandbox over nonsense, you can get this and just wow folks. It's really that good--and Richard
Osterlind thinks so too!
I really like this...after you get over the sticker shock you really start to appreciate the thought
that went into this. I had no idea that there was so much built into this one prop, there is also a
bonus effect where you can recite an entire phone number from a huge list based on a name your
spectator is thinking of...and no memory work
This is a super straight forward and organic prop... I live in Canada and regardless of where you
live this still plays HUGE. There are two maps provided to you one regular size which is still
pocket size and a mini map which can fit into your wallet, so this is built for walk around.
Overall Direct, Hard-hitting, looks like true mindreading.
Worth the coin!
