Got this as part of a Black Friday Sale and thought it deserves a review.
I really like
this trick. Super easy to do and hit hard with my fam (my toughest audience, as I'm sure many can
relate to). As I watched Adrian's cheerful and clever presentation, I thought "I'd do X to elevate
this further." Then, Nick Locapo offered an alternative handling that included X. Nick didn't stop
there though as he added Y, with Y being an even better idea! Kudos to both Adrian and Nick.

I received this a part of the Black Friday special, and WOW, what an amazing trick to get for free!
I would not have been disappointed had I actually purchased this.
The added handling that
Nick Locapo provides really adds an extra punch to an already amazing reveal!
It's fun to
perform as well!

The magic of Adrian Vega is very creative, making easy apparently impossible solutions.
Both
performances/versions, Adrian's and Nick's are superb.
Original plot, easy execution, impossible
to reconstruct, and great nuance by both artists.

Great trick!
A couple of disappointments:
1. The cards I received and refills do
NOT have the usual king on a bicycle joker. It’s some weird clown on a bicycle joker. The
performance video clearly shows it’s the king joker on the gimmicks.
2. It would be nice
to have a single card option. Makes more sense and easier to make one card vanish from the deck and
removes the 2 x 1/2 card vanish discrepancy.
If they made a single card version with king
jokers, I would buy the company!
I perform this trick anywhere I can and have Allways amazing reactions! People really freak out!
Such a easy but clever method and a total worker! This should go into everyones repertoire and on
top of that...its very easy to perform!
LOVE IT!
I have to admit I was a little skeptical prior to my purchasing of this trick. I had watched the
tutorial afterwards and was pleasantly surprised on its method and handling of the gimmick, which is
a BIG relief for me because had it sucked, I would've been left with a crappy trick and 6 refills
for that said trick!
For what my two cents is worth, I approve and applaud!
Excellent presentation and instructional download
The gimmick should only be of one card more
I like it alot, but i think it would have been better if only 1 card was selected.
Hopefully, they can make the gimmick be one card in the future if they have updates.
Other than that, it gets great reactions.
I would still recommend.
Best,

This is a wonderful effect - so glad that I bought it. I actually disagree that there is no sleight
required, because there are a couple of card moves that you probably already know that you'll have
to employ. Once you get into the meat of the trick, however, all that is already done, and with the
enhanced presentation of Arrested, you finish clean (always important to me). I love tricks that
aren't necessarily straightforward, ones that make people think, "What the *$*" just happened, and
this is one of those. I simply love it, and so does everyone that I've performed it for. It gives
your audience a real "What the $*" moment. It's time for me to order more of the gimmick, because
I'll be doing this one for a long, long time.
