This gimmick is far from original, but the ideas on using it are wonderful. The new ideas with this
gimmick are incredible . . . but as is, this is one of those that looks best on video or stage.
Still, my objections can be overcome.
1) The gimmick is bulky, but it alone is not a huge
issue. Some trimming can be done to make it a bit thinner, along with basic card handling and
mis-direction.
2) The gimmick supplied has glue that leaked on the edges of the card. You
can't see the glue when the gimmick is brand new, but the glue picks up dirt fast, and makes a very
visible line in the otherwise clean deck. Thankfully you can hand-assemble new gimmicks where this
doesn't happen.
All in all, if you make your own gimmick carefully, this can be a lot
of fun. My 3 stars is because the gimmick provided SHOULD have been designed a little better (which
would mean more work per gimmick) for the price, and instructions on how to make the improvements
should have been there.
As for not having verbal instructions, I think they did a wonderful
job of demonstrating it, and these were not needed by me.
This gimmick is easy to use -
assuming you have basic card handling skills.

This is a simple but excellent gimmick! I use it all the time to my friends and they have no
explanation for it. The teaching is silent but isnt bad at all. I absolutely love this product.
The DVD also has some great ace productions. It also shows you how to make you own gimmick which is
a very good addition. I would definately reccomends this for a card magician.

I like this.Nestor tells you how to make a new gimmick if yours breaks.There are some great tricks
like touch.He even teaches you his version of the coin matrix.
Some of my favorite effects are
NTDs: this is a great haunted daeck down under a bowl.Rating: 9/10 Difficulty 3/10.
Blind
Date:In this trick you have 2 cards selected,trying to get a pair. You fail, and immediatly change
them into a pair.
Rating:8/10 Difficulty 7/10.
Touch:My final favorite effect on the DVD.A
spectator touches 4 cards, being the 4 aces.Rating:8.5/10 Difficulty5/10
There are more effects
and flourishes producing 4 aces on the DVD.
Pros:Learn how to make new gimmick,
Great
Effects,
Simple.
Cons:
Not very original,
Nestor is French so no speaking in
explanation,
Gimmick separates a little bit, but is nothing double-sided tape can't solve.
Do yourself a favor and buy it.You'll use it and comes with some great ace productions and a
version of the coin matrix.
Teaching:7.5/10
DVD Quality:9/10

I like this dvd but, I have mixed feelings about the gimmick. The instructions for the effects are
performed silently and are very thorough. However, the gimmick is a little bulky and would call
attention to itself. There are plenty of great routines on this dvd that don't use the gimmick that
are worth learning and if you are intent on using the gimmick he does teach you how to build more.

I have used it and amazed people with it it's very good because you get a lot of use on the gimmick.
Tricks like RIsing Card, Haunted Deck (Variation), Color Card Change, Card Productions, Card Jump.
Very versatile and on top there's other sleight of hand tricks with cards. The best part is that it
shows you how to make your own Nestorizer's so that's a plus.

As others have said the video demo does sort of lead you astray as to what the DVD actually teaches
you, but that aside there are some really good sleights on this DVD. I like the haunted card effects
a lot and I like the shooting card too but I actually found the sleights to be the highlight of this
DVD. There is a tremendous ace production on the DVD which is a very visual production and one that
I have no adopted.

I admire this simple yet clever device, which could let you do the switch without worry about any
flash.
I think this is the product that you can play big!

I give big praise to anything that David is afilliated with...he does such excellent percise work...
the craft is so clever all you need is a little practice... not much dialog... the magic speaks for
itself.... Thanks for the chance to brag on him..
I'm not overly impressed, but the gimmick allows for a very nice rising card and spook deck without
having to ditch any props or add anything to the deck. It does look virtually invisible to look for,
and with work can spread the cards and handle them completely normally. All and all a good gimmick
to add to any magicians repatoire, although not for everyone.
