This release caught my eye and I bought it right away. If you are a magician you know what this is for and on that regard it is a really unique reveal that gets amazing reactions. If the creator sees this PLEASE release a full set of 52 card options or atleast an option to order certain ones. I'm sure people will want to see this again and having more than 2 options as a card magician would make this a reputation maker.

I knew the secret and ordered because the "wave" symbol fit into a show I'm preparing. Unfortunately the wave is the one impression that doesn't come through as well as the others.
Otherwise impressions are great.

Love this device. Fooled the wife, my biggest critic, and can wait to see if I fool my friend who’s hobby is also magic. My only suggestion would be to add texture to of the sides so you can quickly orient without having to look.

do this with or without a flame, either way it is an unexpected surprise that delights.
without a flame/lighter, I talk about how hot air rises, ask that they think of their card getting red hot and rising to the top, I then touch their chosen card which has been forced to the top, pretend the card burned my hand, tell them they did too good a job or making their card hot, reveal the blisters then the card.
weird and wonderful

Advertising leads one to believe the gimmick would be all 5 Zener symbols but it is only 2 and some playing card ones and a “regular” blister. Worth only about 20%of price if you are a mentalist. Not quite bait and switch, but as close as you can get without crossing the line. I have been extremely happy with all Penguin Magic purchases prior to this. This one has me extremely wary moving forward.

This trick is fantastic easy to learn and works well
I am a learner as regards magic and this trick ticks all the boxes
A great trick east to do with a great punch

First I want to say that this is the first blister type effect I've ever bought, so I won't be able to compare it to others, with that said, I love everything about this. Here are the pros in my opinion:

1. The blister on the fingers shows up very well. I was pleasantly surprised with how well the reveal looked.

2. The gimmick fits on your keys so your always ready to go. Since you always have to carry your keys, then you're always ready to perform this effect.

3. The gimmicks are very well made and should last you forever. These gimmicks also are designed to insure that you get a nice blister every, single, time you use it.

4. The reactions you get from this are incredible. I've only performed this a few times, and surprisingly the reactions are huge for such a small reveal. I wasn't expecting that. I've performed Stigmata for years and that always gets fantastic reactions, however this seems to match those reactions just as well. They just don't see it coming and some people I've done this to have gotten a little scared afterwards. These reactions are worth the price of the trick 100 times over.

Cons:

I can't think of any.

Overall, I say it's extremely well worth it and I'm very satisfied with it.

The only bad part about this product is that they only give you five outs!
I’ve been at the dark arts for 40 years and rarely have I had spectators run out of a room! This effect is next level!!! Get it!!!

I purchased blistering elsewhere because of the price I got it for. I wanted my review with penguin because they’re awesome! This is the best blistering product to date , ready to use out the box and excellent quality product! James Anthony gives great instructed details and it’s definitely worth getting!
