I purchased this product and am extremely disappointed. The cards are not reusable as advertised. I
tried a few and followed the instructions to restore them, but they didn’t return to their original
state. The ink came back much lighter, making the revelations too obvious. While the concept is
interesting, the product is lacking. I’ve contacted Penguin to request a refund and suggest
discontinuing the product. Although they typically respond quickly, I have yet to receive a reply.

So read carefully because you want to know this before you even touch this product.
First
of all, this was totally rushed to market. The instructions are only 5 minutes long. they won't
discuss the concept and too rushed with no needed content. In fact, it is so rushed and incomplete
that part of the instruction is not available in English and is "only French for now"
But
it gets worse!
-This doesn't work. I followed the instructions, but I can't get the gimmick
to "Re-Set". I did what I needed to do for over 5 hours. it doesn't work. there is another review
who had a similar experience.
-You get 6 revelations, 2 each. total 12. you are supposed to
use the same card always. the cards will absolutely wear with use, being handled by spectators and
with fire. especially with one of the handlings shared. making this a very expensive trick if it
worked for you.
-The trailer misleads you to get the impression that you get a card holder.
you don't, on the video they just say they recommend it. so you have to get one as well.
-The marking system is glaringly obvious. just look at the cards on the video. it is not even
subtle. but it is not even needed because my gimmicks don't work.
-The effect is great. but
all there is is a revelation. they don't really give any good ideas for routines. which they are
capable of (I love the twins and their creativity) and should for 60 bucks. if this falls in the
hands of a Craig Petty. you would get 8 hours of insane ideas for such a cool effect. the Twins made
no effort.
Frankly, as a consumer of magic, I am sick and tired of producers half a**ing
it. So I hope this review helped you, and that it helps prevent producers doing this again with
their products.
Don't buy it.
