As lessons by video go, this one is paltry at best. Jermay talks fast and, when it comes to
describing how to assemble the gimmick, goes into very little detail. And as for the performance
itself, one should be aware up front that it's quite hit or miss as to the likelihood of success.
Even with practice, as becomes quite clear when you watch Jermay fumble while trying to demonstrate
his performance in the tutorial. The best analogy I could come up with is standing in a bathroom
where there are three motion-activated sinks but only one works, and you don't know which.
Essentially, you're expected to wave your hands under each until water comes out, and announce that
you're a magician when your hands finally get wet.
This effect came "free" with a cyber
Monday deal; I'm quite glad I didn't actually pay $9.95 for the effect. As for the demonstration
that's done in the advertisement - after watching Jermay's fumbles during the tutorial it's hard not
to believe he had to film multiple takes before he got it right during the demo.

Watching the video Luke Jeremy is teaching how to toss a card.
He misses alot of times.
I don’t feel confident that this trick and go over very well unless you get very lucky not to
drop the card.
I’m glad he didn’t edit it out. Very bad demonstration on this video.
At
least I know if I drop the card I’m not that bad at this trick I might look foolish at least I can
expect this to happen.
If you practice enough maybe eight out of 10 times it’ll work.
I’m
glad I got this download for free I would’ve been very disappointed if I would’ve bought it. It’s a
nice trick.

This effect was a total waste of time and money for me. In the video even Jermay failed to land the
card toss about 50% of the time. A ton of practice and some luck is required to achieve proficiency
at this effect. Save your money.

I like Luke Jeremy, but this is an effect you’d expect to receive from a lesser mentalist/magician.
The teaching was good. It’s direct and easy to perform. I just know Teresa are better sandwich
effects out there that offer more impact.

i found this poorly presented and explained. I even went to magic inc to get help and they found
dit frustrating
It's an interesting idea.
Luke often makes mistakes in catching cards in the fan.
There is
no problem with teaching. There is a high probability of success after practicing.
However, I
think it's a risky magic, so I remove one star.
Yes...it is good magic and very visually stunning, yet this can easily take months to practice, if
not years, as it is very heavy in card mechanics. If you are a card wizard this maybe for you...not
sure I will ever use it as I don't have the skills yet and need to practice the for a few years...
Jermay teaches two methods to achieve this really cool feat of skill. One method is "easier" and
requires a gimmick. The other method is ungimmicked and is essentially just doing it for real. My
initial inclination was that the first method was going to be exceedingly difficult and the second
pretty much impossible. You're really throwing a card into the air and catching it in a fan so that
it lands right next to a chosen card. My skill with flourishes is minimal at best so imagine my
surprise when I landed the move after of few minutes practice. Granted, I could only do it a few
times but those hits gave me a lot of confidence. This really does seem achievable, even to someone
as unskilled with cards as myself. Back to practicing!
