Please ignore my previous rating. Penguin has addressed the issue and I can feel extremely confident
giving this trick a much higher rating. I would like to thank Acar, MJ, Dalton and the rest of the
Penguin team. Amazing service! I can't thank you enough for not only understanding our viewpoints
but actually delivering. This is one reason why I keep coming back to Penguin on a weekly basis.
Thanks again!

This is an excellent, simple, and very easy trick to do and it PACKS a punch when mainly the
presentation is right. Basic sleights that you already know if you've been into magic for a while. I
like this even more because one of the performances there was an annoying heckler who just wouldn't
shut up, and you can see Matthew Johnson handle it correctly. I wish I could give it more then a 5
stars. Awesome trick Mark!

I like me a good, practical TnR.... and I am a sucker for impossible locations! Chaptrick combines
them in an awesome presentation that people will remember you for! Mark Jenest proves, again, to be
a creative powerhouse in magic, and Matt Johnson teaches it very thoroughly. The setup is extremely
fast and easy, and you can take several performances of this with you, all in one pocket! Buy this
download for an effect you will use, often!

Very easy to do, and looks great, will definitely add it to my repertoire of card tricks!

I am disappointed that I missed the sale. I saw it and was too late (my fault). But I am very very
disappointed about the teaching of this trick. Majority of this trick was to teach the force.
Instead Mark shows you the same force in his trick "Melt" which he says "It's my favorite force".
Yet this is not the one he uses in any of the street performances; which is a much better force. I
have no idea how he did it after the spectator shuffled. No wonder the trailer is edited the way it
is. You will not learn the force they do on the street. Mark! Teach us that force! I want to know!
Please and thank you!

I fell in love with this effect as soon as I saw the demo video! Now even though I'm a Mentalist I'm
definitely adding this effect to my close up repertoire!!! The spectator reactions (on this video
and when I saw someone else perform this live) are priceless at a great price! Highly recommended.

This is a gobstopper of an effect !! Matthew Johnson is a natural teacher & communicator so this
effect is taught very well, in clear, easy to understand language and easy to duplicate physical
demonstrations. Making the Gimmick, which will out last you probably, will take less than 10min. at
under AU1.00
This is a real little beauty. Its part restoration (T&R) part transposition. The
plot is so good (& easily applied) that the audience/participants can have no comprehension of how
the whole thing happened ! Its presented as a trick that you might use in your routine or as a one
up. But I believe with little imagination, it can be made into a spectacular effect with not much
effort. After seeing this performed they will have to have more from you. Its that good. I'm fussy
about what I perform. This is a keeper for me. A real little ripper !!

This trick is fantastic. I just got back from a big function and the reactions were great, not only
that but it was easy to reset. Amazing trick buy it now!

I LOVE this trick. It is so well thought out and it blows minds. I preformed it a few nights ago for
the first time and the reaction I got reserved a permanent spot in my pocket. Chaptrick is by far
worth every penny!!

I was originally a little tougher on this trick than I should have been.
This trick plays
very well and can be used for close-up, strolling, or even parlor performances. It could play on
stage, but I would say there are better tricks to play to the back of a large room.
The
handling takes practice, and you should practice with it a lot before you do it publicly, to make it
appear effortless and natural. It's very easy to look "guilty" if you're not 100% comfortable with
the handling.
I've used it in informal and formal settings and even do a whole bit with
the chapstick before/after to really "sell" the trick.
While not fast enough for an opener,
and not strong enough as a closer, it is a great mid-act effect.
I do recommend - but make
sure you really pay attention to the instructions and practice it to make it your own.
