Just a little overpriced, $20 would seem more like it. Also, the ad-copy is a little misleading. You can only vanish ANY deck of cards if you have a "favorite method" for ditching an entire deck at the start of the trick. And you only end clean after doing the drty work to end clean (ditching the gimmick). It's good for a sit-down performance and will take a fare amount of practice for standing.

This is not easy gimmick to use,you should practice a lot with that to make how look like.

Whether or not you will like this product will depend greatly on your ability to perfect a knacky little move. Other reviewers are correct, this is not quite as simple as illustrated. However, the move is nothing that can't be mastered in a couple of hours tops, regardless of your talent level. The move is something that you just have to cultivate. I do think the trick is worth the asking price. And the simple fact that this will require practice will prevent alot of magi from staying with it!...sad but true. Great gimmick, good reactions and a fair price. 'Nuf said...peace

Clever method, very good quality gimmick. But:
-it's way harder than they claim, I will be the rest of the day practicing the vanishing movement (not 10 minutes like they say)
-No one talks in the video, only subtitles
-You need to load the gimmick, then unload a deck and then unload the gimmick to end clean, which they don't go in enough depth
-It's a bit expensive

A great gimmick and I LOVE it BUT...

I think this came to market too quickly. They left out some HUGE training points in the instructional video.

Firstly, they DID NOT address lapping the gimmick if seated (other than hiding it under your hand which they never addressed) or sleeving the gimmick (kinda obvious) or even using a topit (also obvious) or using something like "TKO" by Jeff Kaylor (not so obvious but it's how I'll use it). REALLY? These are OBVIOUS elements that should have been addressed.

Secondly, they didn't address how to "activate" the gimmick in a TWO-HANDED fashion (which I discovered looks almost as good as the 1-handed version and is INFINITELY EASIER). If my hands are dry, it's IMPOSSIBLE to do according to their instructions but is still a piece of cake when done two-handed.

C'mon, guys. At least PLAY with the thing for a week or so before releasing it. Remember, not everyone has the finger dexterity that the creator has.

I absolutely LOVE this but the training needs to be updated and expanded and more thorough. BTW, I give Christian Grace permission to use my ideas in the update.

Highly recommended (with reservations as noted above).

If you are a magician or inspire to be...then the first rule you should know is that you must be creative. With that being said this is the perfect deck vanish that ive seen and ive been in the game for a decade. If you can't perform a steal and ditch with this gimmick then xome up with a routine that at the end you have reason to go into your pocket and do the ditch... come out with a marker and sign the card. I must say that you will not perfect this in ten minutes but practice is always good so stop being lazy and work at it.

Very good product.

Price seems ok to me because it’s very creative and original.
It should be not measured just by the (well produced) gimmick.
The gimmick could last a lifetime!
Looks very convincing and is fun to perform.

The methods for bringing it into and out of play are shown in the tutorial.
No problem to perform this standing. LevelOne is not for beginners.

Personal hint: if you modify the gimmick slightly you can also ditch it more easily. Just a small piece of white blue tack and a white painted m***** will do the job. ;)

Have fun, I will and bought it from my local dealer this time.

I like this trick but I am finding the manipulations a little difficult for my old hands. I hope it will come with practice.

Seriously, this is probably the best deck vanish out there at the moment. Great thing is you can do it with any deck. There's no limitations in terms of awkward angles, or clunky gimmicks - there's just one small gimmick which you can ring in and ditch easily, and the gimmick will probably last forever considering how it's made.

The reactions I've got with this are fantastic - probably because it's so visual and because they literally see the deck vanish! The instructions are great, the effect is simple to execute (will take a little practice but not much) and the reactions are well worth it. The perfect closer for any card set.

...This would be overpriced at full price but I got it on Open Box so I'm only giving it 4 stars instead of 5. It's basically just a block of plas***c with ridg** - something you could have made by your local workshop. But again, you're paying for the "concept" of the gimmick. In that way, there are a ton of reviews out there with lower ratings because of the hinky move that has to be made, but I just received it today and starting working on it right away.

It's a very clever idea and one that I never would have come up with - because when you first try it you'll think it will be impossible to ever get that move down. But, with dedicated practice I'm pretty sure I can get to performance level speed.

If you prefer the sort of out-of-the-box solutions, this effect is not for you. If you like to practice new solutions and are interested in sleight and misdirection, then learning to use Level One for a whole series of effects is worth the time.

Overall, I'm very glad I purchased it - whether it works its way seamlessly into my routine is yet to be seen.
