Eric's take on twisting the aces. Four cards are used, one at at time the cards turn face up in progressively more visual, and impressive ways. The routine is modular in the sense that Eric provides several ways to do this effect surrounded, and each revelation can be interchanged with any other to suit the style of the performer.

Eclipse - The least demanding, yet most visual effect on the DVD! Two cards are shown front and back and without any cover at all, one of the cards visibly turns face down, and then instantly turns face up again while educating the spectator about eclipses.

Twizted Grasshopper - WORTH THE PRICE OF THE DVD - Eric collaborates with underground magician Rahat to bring you their version of Paul Harris' Grasshopper effect. A FREELY chosen card is openly placed between two face up court cards and set aside. Two other court cards are shown front and back and set down. The selected card VISIBLY vanishes from between the two sandwich cards and is found between the second set of cards.

Sandwich With A Twizt - Featuring the Passless Pass - Eric teaches a very easy to perform handling of the classic sandwich plot where two court cards visibly sandwich a freely selected card without ever coming near the pack. You only need to be able to control a card on the top. Can't do a pass or sidesteal? No problem. Eric teaches a new move called the Passless Pass that will change the way magicians control cards.

Extreme Twizt - A face down card is openly placed between two other face down cards. The card visibly turns face up twice, and the cards back even changes color in this angle proof rendition of Paul Harris' Bizarre Twist.

All necessary cards provided.

Running Time Approximately: 90min

Mine broke in 10 minutes after use Report this review

My gimmick broke after 10 minutes of use. I contacted Penguin and they told me to contact Eric Jones, which I did. He was prompt responding to me. I sent him a SASE which cost another (sending him the broken gimmick and for him to send me back) I have contacted Eric a few times asking how is the repair, no response. It's been 17 days and Eric has vanished completely. I have spent a total of on this failed trick; I feel totally ripped off. Warning do NOT trust this magician. I will be looking to buy my magic elsewhere. Worse customer service ever!

So simple, yet so powerful. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 31st, 2011
Very powerful effect with an extremely simple gimmick. The beauty of this effect is that it causes the spectators attention to be drawn to an ungimmicked card, while the gimmicked card remains uninteresting. It's quite devious.

I would recommend purchasing a spool of Madeira Elastic thread online, and making your own gimmicks, once you've seen how they are constructed. The thread is superior to that which is used in constructing the gimmicks you will receive, and will make the effect smoother overall. However, even without that adaptation, it's still a killer.

You'll love this, and so will your audience. Add to your cart now. You won't be disappointed. Eric Jones is the man.

I love the concept of this trick. I watched the DVD from the beginning and was making sure that I took proper care when using this trick, in the practice stage in broke. Very disappointed! I contacted Penguin and they told me to contact Eric Jones who said he would be happy to fix it. It's beyond fixing, still now I have to send it back to him in a SASE so he can repair it and send it back to me. More time and more money spent. Sigh :(

WOW ! This is always in my deck, always ready to amaze people. What you can do with this gimmick: some of the most eye popping and clean color changes ever, some head scratching disapearance and therefore some amazing transpositions or card to impossible location. Put a little thought into it and you can come out with a place for it in your act.

The gimmick is fun to play with and reliable. It will take some practice to be confortable with it, and it will take some getting use to if you were to let it sit in your deck (and you will want to, just to be always ready to blow them away). I got amazing reactions from this... Just look at the video, and let your imagination go. This gets my highest recommandation and i'm usually hard to convince.

Simple and easy Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 30th, 2011
These are simple to use and I favour just one simple move which only involves 3 cards as this is quick and the least risky for beginners.

I do think that there needs to be a 'refill' available as the gimmick will slacken after time and become detectable. I don't agree that there should be additional material to make your own as this will definitely not reproduce the precision. Refill is best option.

GREAT Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 2nd, 2013
Twisted is Great!!!
I have been performing my own routine with this gimmick a bunch over the last year.
The gimmick it self is great and I know some people think that the gimmick is visible but trust me I use this on a day to day bases and have never had one person even have a clue how it work. I guarantee that the people who say its too visible have never gone out and perform this also I never have had mine brake I think the only thing really is as all playing cards do the gimmick has gotten a bit grimy and need replace but that is not a problem.
Its great so just buy it!!!

Very Clever and you will amaze people Report this review

This is a fantastic trick and if you learn how to use it, you will be able to do absolute miracles for some people. After I got mine and with just a little bit of practice I was able to fool people very very quickly (and this was just the first effect Eric teaches). I even had one person yank the gimmick out of my hand and looked it over and could not figure it out. I would not do this and was lucky that he did not examine it carefully (ran his finger over it) and I quickly retrieved it to go on.

The Gimmick is durable. I can be pretty rough with these types of gimmick, but this has held up and the material Eric used seems to be pretty strong. I have seen a lot people complain that it broke and while this I is possible, I believe that it is actually possible to repair it yourself. If you’ve worked with this “technology” you will know in a heart beat how to fix it (albeit not using the same quality of material that Eric used).

In short - this is a great trick. Watch the video, follow the instructions and you will not be disappointed.

Absolute Genius! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 26th, 2023
Eric Jones's gimmick is pure gold. I would recommend this to beginner magicians as well as seasoned pro's. You do not need an expert level understanding of magic to enjoy this prop. However, as you get better with cards, so will your use of this gimmick. I do an entire routine with gimmick card in the deck and I use it for other utilities before I close with my version of Twizted.
Cheers my friends! Trust me, you will love this!
