All I can say is wow. Can legit be done with a borrowed deck.

Great effect when you know how to do the vary basic initial "thing" that needs to be done with the
signed card. The problem is, the video doesn't include that explanation.
In fact, the
thing to be done with the signed card is shown barely a split of a second!!! during which you are
referred to some author who is the originator of that move. Period. No more explanation. Nothing.
Zero.
Without being able to learn how to do that initial thing the rest of the video, the
rest of the explanation, is totally useless. Just by seeing the initial thing/move that's to be done
with the signed card (can't be more explicit here) for only a split of a second, and unable to
figure out how to do it (no directions or explanation of how to do it is offered at all), I can't
help but feeling cheated by Penguin Magic. Can't believe a serious company can allow this kind of
thing.
Unless you are a professional magician and know how to do every slight of hand,
don't buy this . It'll be a waste of money. You'll feel cheated and frustrated.

This is a great, smart, and easy handling. I would say there are many better card to box's
available, but for a simple impromptu version to be able to do on the fly, it's a nice to have
another tool in the arsenal.

Nice Card to Box, simple 17 minute video which gives you pretty much all the info you need. If you
don't know what a Mercury fold is, learn it, you'll need it for other things down the road and it's
not that hard just have an old deck of cards to practice on. That's honestly the only hard part of
this trick, and that's not that hard at all. Beginner could do with about an hours practice
learning the fold. An intermediate will have it in five minutes.

This is a real fooler because the audience is never aware of the exact moment the card is loaded.
(This aspect fooled me, and I'm generally hard to fool.)
No gimmicks, all technique, but easy to
learn. Well worth the price.
Add this to other techniques, such as Toi Box, and you will be
a master of the "card to impossible location" effect, with no need for gimmicks.

This is a very decieving effect that utilizes very simple slights that can be performed with minimal
practice. Definitely one of the best card to box routines with very little to give away to bring
suspicion to the technique. Honestly one of the most honest previews I've ever seen penguin to
release. But to be honest, penguin was able to do only because the technique is so good to get the
end effect. One of my more satisfying purchases by far and a real worker!!!

If you don't like gimmicks and if you are a fan of impromptu work, then you should get this!
Anywhere, anytime... It is obviously not self working, but the intermediate magician will have no
problem with this.

deceptive handingly & simply to learn.

This is absolutely the best signed card to card box effect. Totally impromptu without any gimmick
whatsoever. If you do card magic, you don't want to pass up ICB; it's a winner!

Nice trick...but the trailer irritated me cuz it showed him doing the trick without the mercury card
fold being done... Making the execution of the trick appearing more magical than it really
is...misleading.
