I am an enormous fan of Marcus Eddie. His thinking is excellent, his personality is friendly, and his teaching is thorough. When I saw the demo for this effect, I knew immediately I had to add it to my cart.

I just received this the other day and immediately made my "gimmick". I practiced for maybe an hour or so and then showed it to a bunch of friends and family and they were blown away. It was priceless. With that said, I have a few issues with this purchase:

1) I found myself a little bit nervous to let the spectator handle the card case. This was probably my paranoia only because not a single person I showed it to had a clue about what was going on in their hand.

2) A bigger concern and somewhat of a big let down was that the product didn't really come with anything other than a flattened card case. The advertisement and marketing claims that this comes with supplies but that really is very misleading. Not that the supplies needed to make the gimmick are hard to find. They can be found anywhere for just a few bucks. You may even have them lying around already, especially if you're a magician, but I felt a little bit "underwhelmed" by the package contents.

In no way should that detract you from making the purchase. The effect is absolutely stunning and layman have no clue how you do it. Everyone I tried it on...well, their jaws just dropped. I heard gasps. They were confuzzled beyond belief.

I would have given this 5 stars if the product came with the necessary supplies. Other than that, add this to your cart before it becomes on backorder. It's something you can put into your act right away with very little practice. There is virtually no sleight-of-hand involved.

Another great product, Marcus. Keep it coming!

I've really got mixed reviews about this item. The method is clever, but I get real pissed when the product is missing most of the props and also when I have to go out and shop around for items. Come on guys, how hard is it to include a few rubber bands?? You also have to destroy two new card boxes to make up this effect. They do include one box, but that box doesn't match the ones here in Canada.
I'm giving it low marks because I'm not going to make this, and I've decided to give it a magician friend who likes 'this sort of thing'.

Seriously, I can't believe that this did not get all 5-star reviews. Marcus, my hat is off to you. How the hell did you come up with this? It's absolute GENIUS!! The gimmick is natural looking, so much so that you can place it in the spectator's hand without fear of detection. There are no angle problems because, with correct handling, the gimmick is invisible. I was LMAO while watching the explanation, because it is that good and that devious. The effect is so good that I couldn't wait to build the gimmick. This is so direct. There is no counting down to a certain number, blah, blah, blah. The spectator chooses any card and BAM! It matches the predicted card every time. It's like The Grail, but without counting down to the card. It's easy to perform and easy to reset. As for those who complained about the supplies not included, any real magician will have the needed supplies lying around the house. Seriously, you don't have rubber bands, glue and card boxes?? And you are not destroying card boxes. You are constructing a gimmick out of card boxes, thus making the card boxes much more useful. You make the gimmick once and you have an amazing effect that can be repeated over and over. I've liked every Marcus Eddie effect that I've purchased, but I'm giving this 5 stars TWICE. To sum it up, WOW, WOW, WOW!! ADD TO CART!!

This is a pretty good idea and its not hard to do. I give it three stars for the deception in advertising. It says it comes with a DVD and "supplies." But actually it comes with a DVD and "supply." What is sent with the DVD for you to make this gimmick is not all it takes to assemble the gimmick, but is only part of what is needed. Its not too hard to come up with what else is needed to make the gimmick, but I feel it all should have been provided, and I base that on the statement that you get "supplies" with the DVD. So, I think everything but the glue stick should have bee included with the supplies. With that said, I wouldn't let that stop you from making the purchase. You are told to let the spectator hold the gimmick during the performance, but that is risky for a couple of reasons which will become clear when you see it, and after the production of their card, you definately cannot let the gimmick be examined. With that said, buy Marcus' idea, because it is clever, get what is sent with it, round up the rest to make it complete, and go for it.

I doubt I will perform this except for friends and family. The gimmick is a bit fragile, fair amount set up is required, and the gimmick is arts and crafty. Not a negative by any means, just not up my alley. Devious, deceptive and wonderful. So creative and effective that I am
Giving it high stars despite my thoughts of returning it.

but the procedure here does not flow cleanly. Interesting gimmick...but over complicated for the effect...and there are cleaner presentations of an open prediction.

Great other then you have to make the gimmick and the gimmick needs a lot of stuff

This is a brilliant concept that you WILL use!!! 5/5 :D

I do not know if I can not make things well or what...but there is a lot of set up and stuff you have to make to make this trick work. You have to make the items perfect and they are fragile...He kinda rushes though how to make the gimmick....Maybe it is just me but I spent about 2 hours making the gimmick and it really did not work well...I like Marcus Eddie magic this one fell short...for the price I got nothing with it..You need to get almost everything...

The effect is really great, but it's a bit too much gimmicky to my taste ( I still will test it, I guess).

And what the others said is really true : it's a bit pricy for what you receive and you only get ONE "supply" but you have to "destroy" two boxes (well, one if you really use this trick).
