I just watched the download tutorial for Siamese Waltz. This effect is fantastic! I can't wait to
start performing it! Since Bennie teaches how to make the gimmick, you don't have to worry about
the expense. I have split cards before and it looks relatively easy to make the gimmick. This is a
miracle trick! I highly recommend it!

I just finished watching both (yes I said both) tutorials for Siamese Waltz.
I am happy to
report that I am now fully informed as to how to construct the gimmicks (both crude practice
gimmicks as well as performance gimmicks) and how to perform the routine. The instructions for both
tutorials are clear and easy to follow and with a bit of practice I feel the performance gimmicks
will be fairly easy to make. At the time of this writing I have preordered this and must wait
almost a month for my gimmicks to ship to me and it usually takes a couple to three weeks to arrive
in the mail. But I expect that with the instructions provided on the instant download I will have
mastered the handling of the routine and will be constructing my own performance gimmicks long
before I receive my 10 gimmicks in the mail.
I can’t wait to get started so I’ll end here!

This trick is great, from the performance I already knew how it worked. I just didn't want to spend
the time to make my own gimmicks, so I bought this product even tho each gimmick basically costs $4.
Sadly the included cards are just terrible made. They look like they were made from someone
who does card splitting for about a day or two.
You can see on every single card, on both sides
like 100 creases on the thin layers, because they probably were just wripped apart without any care
at all to be fast and make as much of them as possible. In my opinion you just can't use them.
Because spectators are not stupid... why would be every card normal and these have 100 creases
across the faces?
So the trick is great, but because I spent $40 dollars for 10 gimmicks
that I now have to do myself anyways it won't get more than two stars

This is a fantastic effect! One that Bennie has worked on for years. He first showed me this a year
ago and I’ve been performing it since. I’m so thrilled that he isn’t bringing it out. The gimmicks
are very well made, and the teaching is top quality. This is not the trick you do to every table.
It’s the trick you do to the bride and groom, the party host, the manager, the CEO,the person
writing the check. This will seal the deal!!

I used this for the first time at my restaraunt.
The frist time went really well! The
people were amazed!
But then I came up with an idea that made it better!
I pulled
out my phone, put it down on table, with "Love will keep us together" cued up on you tube...and it
took it to the next level!
I would reccomend this to anyone! Easy to do, easier to turn
into a performance piece at the table!

The really impressive thing about this trick is not the result, nor the reactions, but how much real
work is necessary to bring it off! If cards are your forte' this may be OK, but if not, you'll have
to do a lot of work (under a lot of stress) to keep this thing from revealing itself to your
audience. This is not for beginners or casual workers; I'd suggest you need real card-handling
expertise of 3-4 out of 5. (And "practicing" this trick alone, is no replacement for that expertise.

Great illusion to present would be an awesome illusion if refills were available for more giveaways.

I think this is a great trick and I will be performing it with all the other tricks I do.. But I
really think the Gimmick should include a double back card. I got the trick in the mail and had to
go through all my backs of cards to find a double back card.
Thank you

I'LL have to admit this tnr is the best I've ever had the pleasure of performing. It's not only easy
to perform, it get's intense & surprised reactions from your spectators. If penguin is sold out of
this trick, I would suggest making your own, from a book by Blake Voght on card spliting craft. Once
you learn how to do it, you'll make all types of card gaffs. There are two important things to
remember about C.S. technique, BEND DON'T FOLD & PULL ON DOUBLE LAYER NOT SINGLE LAYER or it will
TEAR! Also don't forget to buy some glue stick.
