One important note that I didn't see included in any description before I purchased this trick: the
trick must be done over a surface that suppresses sound (such as a mat, a tablecloth, felt, etc.)
You cannot perform this trick over a wooden table, for example, or the sound of the coin(s) hitting
the table will give away the trick.
Otherwise, this is a great trick that requires a lot of
practice to master.

There are too many problems with this routine that keep me from recommending it. The issue is the
gaff. Because of its construction, your angles are horrible. Secondly, because of the way it
works, it forces you to handle cards in a way that looks, and even sounds, unnatural. You might get
away with that kind of move once, but when you have to keep doing it over and over again, it's going
to become obvious to the spectator that somehow the method is relying on that.
The
original classic matrix routine is not all that difficult. The sleights are basic and certainly not
beyond anyone's capability. And to be honest, even though you could say Impossible Matrix doesn't
require sleights, the handling of the gaff is a little awkward and finicky, so it doesn't really
seem any easier than employing basic sleights.

Well it's a great effect. Just nail down the move like Oz. And no matter what, the gimmick is
invisible. It's just that the trick is so simple. But they say the more simple a trick is it is
better. And that's true, I agree. I just don't know about this one. Good trick, a bit clever:)

The trick is not bad, it works on some people, but you have to be very skilled to actually do the
trick right. The way you handle the cards to conceal the secret is pretty hard. Well, maybe I'll get
better at this...

WOW I received the Matrix in the mail and in less than 5 minutes I performed it for my wife and she
was amazed!!!! I have done this trick since and EVERYONE that has seen it has been stunned! No one
has figured it out yet!!! If you like coin magic this is one you must own!!!

This is a great trick. When I first started practicing this trick I thought to myself "This is so
clever". It shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes or less to have the basic routine down. This
looks like real magic. Also, if you have the spectator do a little something to "help" the trick
work, like snap to make the coin move then I think it makes it a lot better to the spectator.
Overall this is a great trick and I recommend it highly.

When I first got this trick I didn't like it or even understand it very much at all, but when I
finaly performed it to my relatives they were in awe. This is a really good trick.

Perhaps the best ten bucks spent on a very clever and deceiving trick. Works so well that you will
impress yourself every time you do it.

I've done Chink a Chink with half dollars and a *****, but this gets almost as good a reaction. The
gimmick allows you to move nice and slow which will add to the amazement of the transportation of
the quarters. And the price is right, so give it a try. And of course practice first.
