I love this little trick! :) It's unique, organic, simple to do, and impressive to laymen.
When I watched the full presentation, I immediately figured it out. I think most magicians can
figure this one out. But we perform to impress laymen... and I think this one does it.
Are
there any sleights or moves? Yes. There are two moves you'll need to perform. But are very easy and
will require very little if any practice.
Is the performance like the demo? Yes. The video
is indeed edited to protect the method, but it's a good honest demo.
Impromptu? Arts &
Crafts? No. You'll need to prepare this... but it's nothing complicated at all. And you can reuse
your prepared work.
Is this a keeper? Yes. It's a fun trick. If you like coffee shop work,
this is a crowd-pleaser.
How's the teaching? As usual, Greg does a great job teaching. The
explanation didn't go needlessly long.
Any bonuses? No. But yes. There were no extra
tricks... HOWEVER, honestly this is the best part, Greg and Dave basically started giving tips, a
mini-course you could say, on their process of brainstorming and creating tricks. Honestly, this
section alone was worth the money you'll pay to learn this trick! It was gold.
I highly
recommend getting this trick. Not only will you get a seemingly impossible trick, you'll get a
little education on how to create your own tricks. I'm very happy with this trick. I give this 4.5
stars out of 5... 5 I generally save for mind melting tricks. Even though I could instantly see how
the trick was done (thus making me a little apprehensive to perform it... I just have to remind
myself that laymen don't watch as closely as magicians. It's a safe trick. It really is), I still
want to give it a little higher rating because of the seeming magicality of it.
4.5 out of
5... Get it! Great job, Greg and David!

This is hands down the easiest, best and most valuable effect of the year. Included in this is a
utility move that a 5 year old can do and which will serve you the rest of you r magical life with
hundreds of tricks. Just got the easiest and most deceptive deck switch in the world for a few
bucks with this video too! I love this! Suggestion when you buy it - You can do the SCOOT again at
the end to get another phase. For me after the sword and the hook and shirt change, you have a
killer ending and downbeat. Use what Greg has taught on the video to end with a BLANK (normal)
sleeve. The entire effect now has three phases and ends with a question of what the heck did they
really see???? Hope you guys like this ending. BUY, BUY, BUY!

More coffee shop magic with very little prep and very quick reset. All you need to pull this off are
some coffee sleeve, a felt tip pen, a couple of very simple moves which are not really moves at all
and a little showmanship. Gregory refers to one of these slights as ‘invisible and hidden in plain
sight’. Now you are ready to go out and really fool some unsuspecting spectators. You will also
learn a little “sleight of mouth”, a way that really sells this trick and the concept of which you
can use in conjunction with other routines you are already doing, cards, coins … doesn’t matter.
Feel free to change the drawings on the sleeves to fit your own patter and personality, the choice
is yours. This is a very cute effect for for a very small investment of money and time. Try it, you
will like it.

Greg Wilson is a master of audience management and misdirection, but Preconsleeved is simple and
straightforward. There are two simple moves. The rest is showmanship (which Greg has in spades).
The necessary psychology is built in to the routine and there are no mechanical gimmicks or
magnets. No sticky stuff or arts and crafts. Plus, even if you can’t draw, you can do this trick!
Greg refers to the effect as voodoo in the presentation, but I like his other idea that
they dress the same because they are twins. I can imagine all sorts of variations in the
presentation. I’m working on patter that revolves around doppelgängers, or alternate timelines and
portals, myself.
Great work Greg and David!!

Greg has adapted card moves to something far less suspect and gives you a great opportunity to
create a magic moment which organically fits you and your style! Easy to do. Easy to adapt to a
custom presentation. Fun to be a part of.
By the time they know what is supposed to happen,
the work is already over, the big finish is all ready to spring on them!
You will
absolutely be doing this!!!

On the minus side, it uses a move I positively detest, but it's used only once and it's done
nonchalantly, so it's a small minus. On the positive side, you'll probably learn a very effective
switch.
It's a good trick.

Love the method about to lock myself in my room to get it down just to perform it! Thanks Greg!

Holy Moly did I just learn a sweet move !!! Preconsleeved is a great trick, well worth the price.
What comes with it, in my opinion is worth way more than that. Maybe some of you have seen it, I
definitely haven't. If I had, I would have been using it every day. You'll see exactly what I mean
when you watch the tutorial. The trick itself is visual and catchy, great for coffee shop magic.
This is a winner in so many ways !!!

It's a nice trick that can be done nearly impromptu. You do need a couple of minutes in private to
set it up if you did not come prepared. Also, I like that it uses coffee sleeves, so it feels fresh
and like something someone with real magic powers might do to show off a little.
It uses two
sleights that are not difficult to learn, and the video does give you enough to learn them (just
barely). I just feel that more attention could have been spent on the sleights and on the patter. If
you are an experienced performer, this gives you all you need, but if you are a beginner, the
tutorial doesn't try to help you turn this into anything special. I think Dan Harlen would have done
a lot better job with this tutorial than these guys do.
