No, this doesn't get it. Very weak on teaching and very, very impractical. Goofy vid gives you
explanation, then performance, then how to make gimmick. Backwards. Could have easily been edited
logically. But that is a minor complaint compared to the gimmick. Adhering liquid? Huh? Is there
no other way to do this? The adhering liquid I found at Dick Blick, & Mr. Art (the stuff is used by
printmakers) was available only in quarts and the price (with shipping) was $40 to $50. What??!!
Are you kidding? Wonder where he got that little bottle? Help us out here. The effect is cute and
all that, but it ain't worth fifty dollars, folks! This has to be the craziest purchase of magic
that I've ever made. The gimmick is way beyond my budget. Practically speaking, "Engaged" is
useless.

This is really a neat little trick. As seen in the video, the rubber band not only apparently
penetrates the card but manages to remove the pip that it was going through!...a single pip hanging
off the rubber band provides a very unexpected and magical moment indeed!..This one has a few moves
to deal with but nothing really that hard...I think I'm going to like this one....after the
necessary practice, of course.....Enjoy!.

$3.50 in the Cool Box, not bad. Had a good idea how it is done but Arnel does a good job of teaching
the effect. I will probably use this, at least on my wife, I can give her my heart! Its a little
cheesy but it will work.
Most of Arnels stuff are pretty basic concepts but applied in a way most people would have never
thought of. This is a great routine and the secret could be applied to almost anything.
The effect itself, and presentation are nice. I will be using this but adjusted to fit my style.
My only complaint was in the making of the gimmick, there was just enough information to make it but
I feel it should have been more in depth to explain how to make the card handed out look better. I
do recommend getting it but would recommend looking into other sources about making Gaff techniques.
