"For the close up-Eric Chien!"

In the summer of 2018, Eric Chien used his super visual routine to blow everyone's mind in the Busan Exhibition & Convention Center and won the FISM Grand Prix. Magic, CG, shocking, unbelievable... Please don't be miserly, apply any words you can imagine describing a miracle to Eric's performance.

The most astonishing effect in this routine is True Colors.

Color change on a single playing card has been a difficult problem that intrigued magicians before True Colors. Some methods used the refraction principle to accomplish the effect -- like a slow, gradual change -- a few years ago on the market, but the biggest problem was the angle.

Eric solved it! Use only one finger. Actually, we can even say that we don't need any cover to accomplish such an extraordinary effect, slow-motion color change. He makes what looks like CG a reality.

When many people first see Eric's performance on video, or even his live show, they think that it is black art, because the effect is just like its name, True Colors. It's so good that you might think it's true. So when you hold True Colors in your hand, you will marvel at Eric's genius like creativity, and you will also marvel that his success is not accidental.

Now, this secret is finally coming out of the shadows.

I have heard that some people are of the opinion that there is no more news in the community. But in such a developed period, True Colors proves that there is a long way to go in the magic way. We truly hope that True Colors can bring you an experience like FISM. We hope that it is not just a gimmick, but a limitless possibility. We hope it can bring you motivation and courage to change things and free your imagination flow as Eric did.

Very cool, but... Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 6th, 2020
Like many, I marveled at Eric Chien's FISM act, and so I was very excited at the prospect of purchasing one of the gimmicks that made his act famous. Yes, I would get a cool gimmick, but above all, I was really looking forward to some of his insights in the tutorial. What I received is technically what is advertised, but for $55, I don't think the value adds up.

First off, in the box, you get a single gimmick, fairly well-made, as well as materials if you want to make another similar card.

The included tutorial link doesn't work. As in, it takes you to a 404 page. I had to scrub the forums on another site just to find the link (it's password-protected, so you can't just stumble upon the actual video).

The tutorial itself is very disappointing. It's nearly an hour, but that entire hour consists of a brief description of the gimmick, and then 45 minutes on how to construct a new one. Only at the end does he give some pointers on presentation, and there's not much beyond discussing lighting and angles.

He then demonstrates briefly how to activate the gimmick in the hands or on the table, but there is very little else in terms of how to make practical use of the gimmick. I wasn't necessarily expecting a ready-made act, but I would have appreciated some more insights into using this in a performance.

A few more things to consider. This is not appropriate for strolling or close-up. You will need to manage your audience to a certain degree, and the lighting and angles to a great degree. This is also very similar to a DIY color change gimmick that Shin Lim described a while ago, but I do think this one potentially looks less suspect. It should also be said that this will not allow you to COMPLETELY change the color of the card in full view, so you will still need to do some sort of move if you want to complete the effect.

All in all, this is a decent gimmick, and I think it could have some nice utility when added to some of your other routines. But, for me, it's something I may play with now and then, but I can't see tempting fate by trying to do this with my audience right on top of me.

Vastly Disappointed Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 19th, 2020
I was disappointed with this item for four key reasons:

* The trick itself doesn't hold up to close scrutiny, the product is very shiny and doesn't 'pass'
* Without giving the trick away, the mechanism on my gimmick doesn't work and gets stuck
* The video link url in the box doesn't work, this may be fixed but it's broken at the time of writing, so there is no way of knowing how to use the effect
* The trick is very expensive anyway, but given the above issues it was a very poor choice

Penguin magic sell other really great products, I love the site and service! On this occasion I wish I'd picked something different.

Clever gimmick but too expensive Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 15th, 2020
the gimmick is clever and amazing but there are a lot of issues. 1st - We have to make the other gimmick 2nd - things needed to build the ither gimmick is not really easy to find. We cant just walk in at a shop and find it. 3rd - the steps in making the other gimmick. God I have “S” the cards. And lastly and probably the worst is that the guy on tutorial is speaking chinese. Though there is a subtitle but it doesnt make sense. The gimmick is hard to makw then we need to look and read the subtitle Wth. Why didnt Eric just do the tutorial. With this price they should’ve included all the gimmicks. Am really diaappointed.

I am a Geek for This type of Effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 3rd, 2020
I have always dreamed of doing something like this. It's now here. The gimmick is well made; but you'll have to keep it safe and in a flat secure place. You receive one gimmick, and there is an instructional video on how to make a second card.
Yes... there are some "lighting" and "angle" issues, but for me, this is really something I will have fun playing with... possibly mixing this in with Blue Illusion and 52 Colors!

It's good but... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 30th, 2021
So, the effect is great! Love it, "IF" the gimmick I received didn't "STICK" rendering the effect USELESS. It's NOT smooth and I need to modify it.

Disappointed but being a software engineer and structural and architectural designer with a Civil Engineering degree, there's a BETTER way to make this and I'll take the extra one, rebuild better, stronger and faster then resubmit for a redesign of the gimmick. Using PAPER does not a good gimmick make.
