It is a good effect. Michael should have also explained how to handle the situation if the spectator
chooses Ace or the Two of Spades, just to cover all possible scenarios. Some tips on the Wallet
construction would have helped everyone, particularly some one who sees the Wallet effect for the
first time. Given what is available in the digital market, particularly for free, i think the cost
is very high. His explanation is simple and effective.

I really like the look of this effect, unfortunately there's too much going on in it for me to do.
It's definitely not a beginner's trick, in my opinion anyway, but maybe sometime in the future I'll
improve enough to be able to do it.

in the video there is explanations for two ways to do the trick, one with practice and an easy one.
Michael Vincent is a great instructor one of the best!
and no rough and smooth who can cause
problemes

Since returning to magic, I've been focused on reducing the breadth of my repertoire to fewer,
highly impactful effects that I can perform on the regular. I will definitely be studying this and
incorporating it as one of my go to effects on demand when socializing with groups.
Michael's reference knowledge of magical instruction and history is incredible.

One of the best versions I have ever seen. No standard Brainwave gimmicks. From the spectators
perspective, it is so straightforward, there just doesn't seem to be any opportunity for any
deceptive moves. And the addition of the wallet for clean up is great.

Let me say, this is a fantastic trick. I love that it ends clean.
I don't know who wrote
the ad copy, but I think whoever wrote "No difficult moves" is a bit out of touch with beginner
magicians. Michael's handling DOES have at least a couple intermediate moves, and honest I consider
them advanced. One of them, for most people, is very uncommon and is going to need a LOT of practice
to be smooth and quick, which is a MUST. I'm gonna have to dock a star for that.
Also,
Michaels patter, to me, is a bit anti-climactic. This is supposed to be a STUNNER
mind-reading/prediction/impossible location trick, and honestly Michael just comes off as a bit
deadpan ho-hum about it. Maybe that's just his polite Britishness about him, but...

Exceptional version of the classic Brainwave theme.

Always good to see Michael Vincent perform, even to sell a video. He's the picture of friendliness,
politeness, dignity, and skill.
This seems the best routine for this classic. Some skill but not hard.
