Plusses: Easy to do, instant reset, extremely visual, really hard to figure out.
Minus: You
can't do it super-super close in extreme sunlight. But who does that anyway?
This is a new
trick. I have not seen a gimmick like this before. I had a guess as to how it was done and I was WAY
off. This is one of those effects that let's you perform what appears to be a 'camera trick' in real
life. The only frustrating part is that it's so good, I want to do it multiple times for people!
(Which, of course, wouldn't make any sense, so you can't.)

The video doesn't really lie: what you see is what it looks like to the spectator. The change is
fairly subtle and can be done in so many different ways (though your choices are limited to just
those two cards). The gimmick appears fairly sturdy, and there is an extra card included you can
hand out for examination after you switch it in for the gimmick.
This will require the
right lighting though. I was so interested in this I opened it at my mailbox when I got it. Looking
at it in broad daylight I was so disappointed and thought no one would ever fall for this. When I
got it inside, however, I saw how it could work. A brightly lit room and a close spectator would be
a challenge, but a normal restaurant environment with people a few steps away shouldn't be a
problem. Add the fact that you can hand out a card for examination after you learn the switch and it
will be enough of a convincer to satisfy the biggest skeptic in the group.

the gimmick is very clever, but i felt like mine was a bit weak, and needs more pressure to do the
change, as well as it making a 'click' sound when it changes, which is quite annoying. overall its
ok

On camera this is a beauty, but up close it's tougher. You have to find the perfect medium between
too close and too far. Once I was performing it and because of the lighting (even though it was from
a distance, the spectator though he saw a staple in the card (there isn't one).

The gimmick in the video is flawless, which is nothing like what was shipped to me. Sure, it might
go unnoticed in dim lighting and from a distance, but I paid for an identical gimmick to that in the
video which convinces you how amazing and up-close this trick is. On a better note, I'd say it's a
gem if you're performing in a restaurant setting or on stage.

I love the gimmick! It fools myself when I do it! While you can't do it when the spectator is right
in front of you or in very bright light, it works well in most locations.
The DVD. Confusing.
They explained the gimmick well, but the routine they provided was, in my opinion, lacking. I ended
up coming up with my own that I think works a lot better. Great product overall!

Wow! This is suck a cool gimmick! You can not do it too closeup which is why it loses a star, and
the DVD is a little annoying to watch because it is shot in Spanish and Dubbed into English so it's
kind of like watching an old Godzilla movie, but the effect is explained in detail and the actual
change looks like a camera trick. The gimmick is well made and pretty sensitive to the point where
just a flick of the wrist causes it to change. A very cool self working trick that will be a lot of
fun. If you switch out the gimmick, you can hand it out so that's nice.

This is a good product but for people with imagination. All the routines on the dvd are not in my
opinion bringing a wow factor. With some small thoughts you can make a great routine were the
gimmick is use covertly. The gimmick is well made but does make some sound. If you want something
that you will use here and there at some events this is great. I am not carrying this on me but it
is a good product
