The perfect open prediction seems to be the new ACAAN. Everyone has a version. This one works, but
it has limitations. It is not angle proof, and can only really be performed close up. It requires
excellent audience management or you risk the participant coming in contact with and noticing part
of the gimmick. The reveal feel a bit awkward and contrived. You can work with this, but there are
similar effects on the market that are more versatile and are just as commercial.

This effect looks very clean and is very easy to perform. Also on the DVD is a "sleigthy" version
that utilize only one of the gimmicks wich will make the card examinable at the end wich is allways
better.
Also, it is very important to point out that this trick is best suited in a
controlled enviroment such as a performance where you are able to ring the cooler at some point
because unless you are good at sleigth of hand and able to sneak the gimmicks this trick will
require a separate deck.
Gets good reactions and can also be presented as a "target card"
effect where the spectator use his/her intutition to find a preselected card wich can be forced from
a regular deck of cards wich will take alot of heat of the POP deck.
Good trick but not
something i would carry on me and bust out when asked to "show me a trick". Like i said earlier,
best used for stage or parlour.
4 out of 5 here`s why:
I like BW`s ideas but i am
allways hesitant to add too many tricks that requires a special deck to my arsenal. Not because the
effects/tricks are not worth while, but rather that they take up too much space in my pockets ;)
Spending hours upon hours in isolation compulsively practicing sleigth of hand and other
priciples that can be done with a regular deck will eventually play stronger than any EASY TO DO
gimmick...
Hope my ranting/review will prove itself helpful in some way

I am having the greatest time performing this effect. It is so very simple to do and it gets the
greatest reactions. I can't praise this enough. It is now one of my favorite effects. Essentially
self working and all you have to do is present and take the cheers. Mr. Wild I want to say again how
much I appreciate your teaching and performing on the video. I love it!

Its exactly what you see at trailer. Easy and great trick. But for me, you just dont end up clean
enough. Few things what you have to do on this perfomance are just not solid. But still i recommend
this trick.

I literally did this successfully on the first pass through, just following the steps as the DVD
played on the TV in front of me. That's how easy it is (once the gimmick is prepared, which is also
extremely easy).
This gets my coveted 5-star "The Video Actually Represents The Trick
Accurately, For Once" rating. Notice how the promotional video shows the trick done in one long,
unbroken shot, exactly as the spectator would see it, instead of some music video co-directed by
Michael Bay and Darren Aronofsky with quick cuts every 5 seconds? That's a good sign that the trick
creator has confidence in the product. It's every bit as amazing as it looks in the video, and
every bit as easy as they say it is.

Just received mine. Watched the DVD and set it up. I am ready to go. It is VERY clean. I can see
doing this very often. Thank you Mr. Wild for sharing this wonderful effect with us.

Let me start off by saying they don't give you enough of this gimmick. I ran out after like 15
performances. The trick is boring leading up to the end and the the end is boring. I never get good
reactions when I preform this trick. The audience basically knows what's going to happen 5 seconds
into the trick. They are also very suspicious on why I can't just show them the card that they
stopped on right after they say stop. They wonder why I have to keep moving the cards around for
another 30 seconds. All of the other reviews are so good so I was really expecting a lot from this
trick and it disappointed me. Overall, this trick is boring, impractical, and a waste of your money!

There are a million different ways to predict a card. This method looks SO clean and absolutely
stuns. Everything is included and hides in plain sight. A perfect effect.

Purchased it today and had it fooling my family within the hour. Like many of you, I had the
required special things at home so I could quickly get the trick together myself, before my package
arrives. If you don't already have what's needed, you will soon, and you can relax in the knowledge
that when your supply of gimmicks run out they can be easily replaced. What you are really paying
for here is the secret and the routine, and they are worth every cent. Virtually no skill is
required apart from 'the gift of the gab'. Recommended without hesitation.
