It’s a cool idea to have all outs on a single cap but a little crowded and some outs are little
harder to get to for a reliable impression. YMMV

Only reason I prefered this over any other blister device is to do blister of a named card. Getting
past how awkward it is to use(you can get used to it with practice). Device is crowded. Blisters are
small, faded and sometimes when you are trying to get the value the suit is already gone and getting
both impressions at the same time is not an option for most outs either because of the layout. Also
small problem but because sharpie caps are rounded your blistered finger will also have a rounded
indent. I think just forcing a card and using a different device is better.

The quality of this effect is top notch. The blisters are perfect and the utility is organic. Every
street magician uses a sharpie for signed card effects so this simply makes perfect sense! Well
thought out Seth! 🤙🙌

Great looking box to house the gimmick.
However the gimmick doesn't cut it for me.
The
impressions are weak and some are difficult to get at for the effect.
The impressions are small
and not very visible. Because the impression is on a rounded surface it puts a concave dent on the
skin.
The idea of having an impression device out in the open is good, but it does not work very
well on the cap. It is too congested . It would be better on a card box.
Third Degree Burn and
Branded in my opinion are much better than Scar Tissue.

Very simple gimmick, and creates a strong production with any card available at your finger tips.
You can create alot different routines for your own style. Top quality gimmick, will last a life
time, with a good tutorial explaining everything you need to know. Would definitely recommend for
advance and beginners

Picked this up in Open Box for a reasonable price. The idea is sound and the gimmick very nearly
works. It's just that some of the impressions are much weaker and less clear than others. If anyone
chooses a Jack, for example, expect a confused and underwhelmed reaction. It's not a clear J (having
it appear as a capital letter would have been much clearer). This should have been addressed at
prototype stage. Why not remove the clip on the cap, thereby freeing up more space? Nobody notices a
clip (I think Jon Allen removed the clip on his Flexion gimmick).
The tutorial is a bit
poor. The routines are ok and Seth tries his best, but what is really required is an in-depth look
at handling the gimmick up front. Instead, handling is addressed in a fairly garbled, piecemeal
fashion throughout the download. Nick or Erik would have done a much more thorough job. Maybe they
could be roped in to cover some of the handling issues in a further download?

I think this is one of the most visual ways to reveal a card, really impressive.

Just received the scar tissue trick in the mail. Shipping was very fast! Packaging and gimmick are
outstanding. The reveal of the chosen card is on the tip of the thumb and index finger. In playing
with the gimmick, I think a reveal on the tip of the index finger and middle finger may show a bit
better, at least for me.

You get your moneys worth with this effect. I'd suggest that any mentalist and/or magician should
have one (or two) of these in their repertoire. Great Work!!

I watched the tutorial before trying out the prop & was pretty excited what it potentially offers.
It's good thinking here including Routines includes but... my major disappointment it doesn't work
for me. I echo some of the reviews here; poor impressions if any at all, & I consider my fingers
rather podgy though.
Will be happy to support with another purchase for the next iteration
that works. Nonetheless good thinking & kudos for those who can make this work.
