I don't leave many reviews, but this effect is a definite improvement. The very clever gimmick makes
this effect super simple and eliminates any forcing or switching.
This is as straight
forward as you can get. It's simple to follow, no fumbling, no suspicious moves and zero sleights or
switch needed. My 10 year old grandson can perform this perfectly.
The gimmick seems a
bit pricey, but when you see how well it works, you'll see why, and you should be pleased. You could
not make this yourself, I'm sure it took a lot of trial and error to create this gimmick.
The gimmick is durable, nothing really to break, no replacements to buy. This gimmick and
routine has been very well thought out and appears normal in every way.
If you like
simple, yet baffling, you'll love this dead simple, yet entertaining effect. I give this one 5 stars
for the method and 10 stars for the gimmick. Get this one!

Great effect, but it can not be carried around as they say..literally lost the internal piece, and I
havent even performed it yet..Good effect, but do not leave it on your key chain! Should have had a
locking method.

Well, what can I say about this? I cannot give it enough stars! This is sooo clever and so well
done. You just have to focus on presentation and as you can do it very fast, we say you are doing
magic at a cocktail party and people are standing, this is perfect. Or if you can take it further
and do a slower presentation, this will blow their minds. Its like you are controlling their choices
and they try really hard to make own choices, it doesnt matter, this is 100% accurate.
I love
it, I will definitely use it and its so nice that you have it on your keychain so they dont think
its a gimmick at all.
For this price? I would say this could cost A LOT more.
I have been
doing magic for many years and I do work with it so take my word when I tell you that this is a
killer.
Buy it, the gimmick will last forever.
Thank you Steve Haynes and Penguin for
making this available to us!
100 stars.

Pretty much what I expected. Tried it out 4 times after opening. Package is great, prop is pretty
well made. My only complaint would be that the "paper"
Looks a bit suspect. Perhaps all of the
edges should be torn!?!?!
Would be great for additional inserts to be made available in the
future.

I would find it hard to believe if someone is disappointed in this. This is a fun gimmick to use.
Very clean and well made. So far no one has questioned it. Even knowing the free will plot you will
be excited to start using this right away.

This is a really cool gimmick for both mentalists and magicians to have hanging from their key
chains. It is very good quality, and the sort of coded system that they have designed to go with it
makes the performance very smooth and seamless. The simplicity of its design does indeed allow you
to focus on your presentation. The only reason that I docked a star is because it seems just tad bit
overpriced for what it is. I feel that this effect is really good, but would work best in
conjunction with other effects.

The gimmick is extremely clever, and does all the work. This is so easy to perform, and creates a
nice effect. Penguin’s description is dead on: there are no forces. I was concerned about this, as
well as the need for sleight of hand. I was relieved that no forces or sleight of hand are required.
Although the trick can technically be repeated with the same spectator after resetting, I wouldn't
recommend it.

I think this idea is awesome, very organic! It is very easy the only reason i have 4 out of 5 was; I
wish they had more live performances on the DVD. The ones on demo aren't on the DVD!! I hope to see
more of Bro on DVDs I love his explanation! Overall great effect!!! Buy this you will not be
disappointed !!

I read others reviews . I watched the prono many times , before I decided to purchase Fair Play .
I practiced many times over.
My thoughts about Fair Play are this .
Fair Play is one of
those gems you come across once in a blue moon
You can't go wrong . It works every time .The
ladies love it .The men get blown away by it .
There's nothing for them to see that they aren't
supposed to .
A piece that is natural to carry with you . And there's almost no circumstance
that you can't use it , 'cept maybe a funeral , lol
Steve ya hit the target with this one .
Thank You for a great trick that anyone can do almost right away !!

This doesn't stand on its own from what experience I have with it. I use an "influence" story line
and I added this with a few other effects all done under the guise of language pattern influence and
that helped the strength of this effect. It can play out any way, but then you have to change the
part of; do I read the prediction, do I have them read it...... Still works and impresses, but
that's why I say good, not great. The gimmick can stick and then needs to be worked free as well,
which is doable under working conditions but then you are left with that unnatural feel when you
pull it off the key chain, tap it on the table, then subtly try to set the prediction before reading
it. I have found it to not be 100% reliable.
