This trick has always been my favorite and was dreaming of a closeup version. This one fits the
billl. The video is very informative and the gimmick is very easy to use but the video does not go
into making a new one with much detail. Like what to do if it gets damaged or stained.

I was a bit concerned as to the practicality of this effect. However it is almost instantly
repeatable and super practical

This close-up version of Cardiographic is a nice trick. My gimmick was well made and the online
video instructions, including tuning tips, are clear and easy to follow. My pad would bind a little
initially, so I followed the advice on the video and removed a few pages. Very happy that I
purchased this.

I can proudly say what a brilliant idea by Martin Lewis! Ive been wanting a cardiographic but I dont
do stage magic. I just do close up or street magic and im very gladly this has come! Dream come true
now! When I opened the box I was kinda hesitant about the gimmick. Seems like the gimmick will be
ripped of once i flip it but as soon as I followed the advice of Martin. boom! Very nice! Very
durable gimmick! Cant believe it! Thanks!

This effect is incredible and will allow me to carry it around and perform it all the time.
The price is great and the prop is well made.
Mr. Lewis does a great job explaining the
inner workings and provides tips for keeping the prop working and well maintained.

For this price I expect a tool to use. I have to rebuild it because the spiral is to small, the
Handling is not naturel, and the gimick could be detected if a spectator has good eyes.

The method on this is phenomenal and it's a great trick. The problem with it is that the spirals do
not allow the pages to flip open easily, which can severely hinder the execution of the effect.
The cover and page of the pad get caught mid flip because the spiral binding slants and does not
allow for a clean flip-over. They did this so that you can easily twist out the spiral and replace
sheets, but it's a massive design flaw and prevents this effect from really being a practical
"worker" for any sort of constant strolling gig.
The proper way to make this would have
been like a ParaPad, when the spiral binding is straight, not slanted, and opens like mini plastic
binder rings to insert new pages. I would pay double the price to see it made properly- and with
plastic covers to prevent ripping. It would make the difference of this being a go to worker effect
for me, or leaving it in my drawer, which is where it is now.

Gimmick is very well made, comes with refills, and additional refills are reasonably priced!
It's easy to see that the design and execution of this trick was carefully thought out, from the
card rising to how the paper is given out.
Very easy to do with a little confidence and
practice. No difficult moves. For the easiest performance, I recommend that you use a "card
selection" that can be done in the spectator's hands alone so that you can hold onto the notebook
already to go. How about you "cut deeper"?
I love this! I definitely recommend. I wish it
was about twenty dollars cheaper, I'd buy several of them.
