I really thought this was going to be a fun worker as I was familiar with the principles before my
purchase. I have ESP cards both poker size & jumbo cards using this method. The concept predicting
color was really appealing as I thought it would appeal especially to women.
First, the
paper stock upon which they are printed is flimsy, cheep card stock. Cards from the Dollar Store
have better quality. With a few spectator handlings, they are sure to become bent, creased &
stained. The cards right out of the envelope will not separate or fan. They stick together in one
unmanageable block.
Second, the entire effect is contingent upon the magician being able
to casually view some certain “somethings” on the run. This is so obscurely hidden it is
“impossible.”
Lastly, the colors of the cards are mostly not distinctive colors & in some
cases almost similar in color.
I really like the concept of color choices over ESP symbols;
however, unless or until the three issues are addressed, I can not recommend this product & mine
will end up in a back drawer.

I will super honest. I went off the reviews after I purchased IMPOSSIBLE. Immediately thinking I’m
going to regret this purchase. I I even jumped to conclusions and equally placed blame on Penguin
for the product being terrible quality. ( of course that was all based on the reviews I was reading
)
Now that I have them in my hands, I feel completely different than I did. This is a worker.
The cards are not your basic air Cush layered cards. So, others are not happy with what they’re made
of. I can tell you that they are NOT just cardboard. I thought I was gonna struggle with that. And
thankfully I did what I always do when I get something new. Play with it. Adjust to it. And make it
for me. I’m going to echo an existing 5 ⭐️ review and say “ take another look “. This is a great
application with a nice little touch. I give this 5 ⭐️’s because it will do exactly what I thought
it would do when I made the purchase. This is a great effect and you will enjoy it. Do not let the
poor reviews set your judgement the way it did me. I was wrong about it and I’m extremely happy with
my purchase. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO PENGUIN FOR JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS. I am sorry. You
guys have never been about bad quality. And I don’t know why I would assume this tome would be any
different.
All in all, get this. It’s something that you will enjoy.

Himitsu magic is on my black list, which means I will never buy another one of their products. This
blatant and willful deceit must be answered by us all, who are duped out of our hard earned money.
These people have no honour

1st you get an envelope with a QR code sticker sealing the envelope of card. You tear the sticker
opening the envelope which you find out the sticker is needed to scan to get the directions. The
markings are terrible and you are supposed to spot these on the fly? Never happen. Plus the
different scenarios you can find yourself in are not easy to remember. I was disappointed this is
not in My Penguin Magic. So there is no forum to ask questions or learn. The cards are stuck
together like roughing fluid is on them. I can not see me wasting my time with this trick. Look me
up in the next flea market they will be for sale.

Once again, an utterly misleading trailer. Video only shows the absolute luckiest outcome. If you
miss, you're stuck with a very basic o** a**** routine that needs cleanup right in front of the
spectator. And with the cards provided, that move will be almost impossible. You could easily do
this with any marked deck you own. Lipstick on a pig. Save your money.

I am going to consider the $30 I spent on two of these a contribution to the COVID-19 Out of Work
Magicians fund and soon to be unsold remaining stock of "Impossible" fund.
I feel just as
shafted as I did with the Flash Deck Switch. And its not the fact that this is effect is over the
top cheap and the demo misleading. Its the ad copy from trusted magicians that hawk this stuff. How
can they not know this?
Cheaply constructed magic is simply not practical for the average
performer, much less the professional or street magician.
This isn't even worthy of the
RonCo Magic-O-Matic Kit.

This is a decent packet trick to carry in your wallet or pocket. It's not as bad as some of the
reviews indicate. First of all, I agree with Lonnie in that you have to adjust to the trick.
Secondly, I will take the advice of Leipzisch and will probably laminate the cards.

I purchased this as soon as it came to the website because it's not often a trick with a gimmick is
$15 because most downloads are $10 at a minimum so I knew I had to get it. I began to read all the
reviews before I got to learning the trick and I was really scared. Everyone said it was bad
instruction and cheap cards.
My first impression after opening the package was WOW. I was
expecting the cards to feel cheap but they didn't feel cheap at all! Super durable card material
with nice vibrant colors.
Now for the trick itself, its amazing. I learned it this morning
and have performed for my whole family and everyone was baffled. Don't listen to the other reviews.
This is a high quality trick for a cheap price and I can guarantee you will get great reactions.

I'm going to try to write this without the high emotional response some have given. Let's begin with
the card stock, no they are not made of Casino grade card stock that Magicians seem to expect
everything to be made of these days. What it is made of is a thin plastic type material. I
personally like that they like this as they are perfect for in my wallet, take up less room and the
plastic material should make them more durable. Honestly, for the price I won't care if I have to
get more. Mine did clump out the packet but I just did the business card/billet thing of rubbing
each one between my hands and they are fine now.
I read comments about the markings, I
personally think they are fine, better than some I've seen. Maybe someone with vision issues might
have trouble as they are a little small. As far as the colours, I don't really have an issue, the
blue has a slight purple tinge to it but it didn't effect their use.
The tutorial is a bit
short, but it gives you the basics to get started. Experienced mentalists can just use what they
know with esp cards anyway. Those that aren't can find plenty of resources out there. For the price
we aren't paying for a masterclass. This leads nicely to the accuracy of the trailer. I actually got
more from that than the tutorial video. No, this is not just the "best case scenario" he is working
very hard to get that result and he's controlling most of what's going on. I learnt some really nice
nuances watching that. I would imagine he gets that result or very close to it 90% of the time. It
would be nice if he taught all that, but it wound have been a lot longer video, driving the price
up, then you'd all be complaining it costs too much.
The QR code being the stick that
holds the envelope closed is probably the biggest problem with this product and a huge oversight.
This is something that needs to be fixed.
All in all, it's a great product I'll be using a
lot.
