I try to review every product I buy on Penguin. I got this one in the Coolbox, and I must say I am
very disappointed.
Not with the secret, but rather with the handling. The trick does not
work well.

I,ve got dissapointed whith this one. I expected another method. First, it,s too risky to relay on
the person you perform for in order to put the card, face down, of course, inside the box, but, on
the other hand, you need that as a misdirection to do the change. Second, it,s not easy at all to do
the change without looking what you are doing. All in all, I do not recommend this one.

I haven't given a bad review on penguin, and I WON'T start now! :) This is a nice effect to own IF
you get it from the cool box for only 11-12 dollars. If it wasn't for the coolbox then this is a
overpriced effect. You can use the gimmick to do color changes, transpositions, appearances and much
more. THE PEOPLE WHO GAVE THE BAD REVIEWS ARE JUST PLAIN LAZY! They need to find a way to make the
gimmick a great one like I did. I do advise that the blank card can fall of the lanyard sometimes,
but it is no big deal. If it is in the cool box, then buy it! If not, you should probably wait till
it is.

I paid with "Open Box" (not much) but I threw the money down the toilet.
The exchange of cards
is done at a too unnatural.
The misdirection needed you can do with the explosion of a
firecracker ...
The girl was obviously agree with the magician....
SUCK !!!!

When I first received it, I thought "I could have figured that out." However, after watchin the
DVD, I really like the way they structured it and their handlings. They teach a couple different
handlings, both very good. I like the first one the best, the same one as shown in the demo video.
I also really like that the card is a signed card and a nice souvenir. I would suggest that you
could end the effect by dating and adding your own signature to theirs and handing it out as a
souvenir. I learned from another Penguin DVD (can't remember which), to have them write their name
just below your finger (toward the top of the card). Then, at the end of the effect, you write a
comma after their name, write a brief note (I write "Make your life magical" or "May your life be
magical") and sign your name below. Now they go away with a nice souvenir with a personalized
inspiration from you.

This is a good trick, but my only problem is that the card often falls off of the necklace. Other
than that, the trick gets good reactions and is very easy to do.

This effect is both fun to perform and easy to do. The reaction is great.
