Even though I shy away from these sorts of effects, When I saw it was made by Hondo I knew it had to
be perfection with pasteboards, and did not miss a beat adding to cart.
The level of
skill that goes into his crafting of gimmmicked playing cards is second to none in my opinion. He
may be the very best player on the field when it comes to working with existing card stock. I at
least have not seen anything comparable so far. And there are some masters out there doing amazing
work!
Q: Is this one of those effects best used on Instagram and YouTube?
A: No
this can be performed as seen in the promo-reel live. The angles are as workable as any of the other
recent visual magic releases.
What separates this from other visual magic. It's made by
Hondo. Two its made by Hondo. He thinks beyond the gimmick when he creates - he knows how the human
eye will perceive the card, the shadows cast, the outline, the expectation of where the lines and
shadows will fall during the presentation and builds the gimmick to fulfill all those subtleties.
Not only does he create these masterpieces he teaches his methods and how to make your own.
If I could give this a 10 out of 5 I would. This is a really sweet effect by a true master.

This is a wonderful, visual piece of magic. The gimmick is well constructed and looks great in the
mirror, even from a close distance Away.The suggested switch is very easy to do and requires a minor
modification of a card box.
Extra materials are included to make additional gimmicks.
I,myself have absolutely no manual skills so the 50.00 price tag was fine with me.

I purchased this from Taiwan but my review will go here.
The trick is ok. It's good for video
though. The gimmick itself is ok and comes in a blue back design. Keep in mind that you can't do it
surrounded. I've performed this several times and the reactions are pretty good. Its ok and that's
all I can say.

This is a great little illusion. I've been performing it a lot at the facility where I work (I'm a
nurse and use magic as an ice breaker). It's perfect during this time of "social distancing", since
it's best to step a few feet away from your audience to control the angles etc. Very sturdy
construction and you are supplied with what you need to construct another gimmick. I'm quite
pleased. A trick for the times.

This is a very well constructed gimmick. The illusion is preserved even from a short distance. A ten
minute box modification makes the switch very easy.

Deceptively simple, well crafted, easily done and lends itself to your own patter and personal
techniques. If you perform this often, the gimmick will wear, but Hondo gives very detailed
instructions on how to recreate a fresh version. Well worth the investment!

This is just about a no brainer. The handling is easy, and can be bartered in no time at all. The
gimmick is very solid, I had to take a double take at it after going over the explanation to see
just how it works.
This will be a perfect illusion for a closer.
