After watching the trailer about a dozen times I had to have it! It is a wonderful addition to "card under the drink" effects. As I thought about how Return Flight is done, I made it way too difficult. This trick is killer and very easy to do. I think the price is spot on fair. I watched the tutorial a couple times and couldn't stop dreaming about it as I slept. Rick give due credit to his colleagues who helped "enhance and develop" the effect and encourages all of us to get creative! I'm VERY happy with the purchase and will add it to my must-do effects immediately. Get this - you won't be sorry!!! You'll be excited -- and you may not sleep well the first night after you get it cuz you'll be thinking about it through out the night!

OK, so this is a trick deck... you'll have to do a deck switch before or/and after BUT...
It's well worth it for this effect. I try to keep things simple and 'impromtu' most of the time and usually travel with only one gimmicked deck. This was the deck I've had on me for the last year or more.
Not as effective with one person but with two or more people it's a lot of fun!
There are no awkward moments in the presentation and it FOOLS people!

This is a great routine you can do several times to same audience without been caught! I've performance 3-4 times once after another to differents groups of people and they were very upset all the times!
Minimum sleights,super easy istant reset and an easy way to manager your audience ,Rick have create a true jewel! A+

Sometimes I wish that I hadn't gone into the world of understanding what goes on behind the magic. I want to go back to experiencing the reactions that I see from the other side. (Matrix moment)

I wanted to tryout Return flight on a group at a friend's house. I just finished doing a little magic for my non profit(Sponsor2empower.org)and they asked me to do something for them. This girl to the side was on the phone the whole time talking up a storm until I got to the card under the box portion. She hung up the phone and started flipping out asking, "What happen how did you do that"?

So when I got to the second half, I let her push the card inside the box. At the end when she saw that it went into the other pile, she dropped her phone and I caught it mid air right before it hit the ground.

She didn't even relies that she dropped her phone. She wanted to take a picture of me and went crazy when she saw that I was now holding her phone.

Great night.

This trick is so amazing and is so easy to do. Literally a 8 year old can fool penn and teller on Fool Us doing this trick because it's just that good and you look like you are completely amazing a slight of hand. I fooled everyone with this trick and you can't mess up its like impossible. I highly recommend you buy this trick because it really is that good. The teaching quality is a 10! The video quality is a 10 and everyone else is a 10 except for your jokes Rick you gotta work on them. BUY THIS TRUST ME!

A very good trick. Rick explains every step in detail. Best of all, there is no sleight of hand and no forces involved! I don't regret getting this.

The last thing that I wanted was a gimmicked card trick. I had the spectators handle the cards slightly less than in the instructional, which is a good tutorial, and this made the routine flow a bit faster. I have received better than expected responses to Return Flight. Tricks of any kind that utilizes multiple climax points are always good magic! You can end pretty clean too, although that has not been an issue at all either. The spectators get to see and handle the cards so much that there is no suspicion on the items used. Good tips on performance from Rick Lax as well.

Every Magician should have an 'Ace' up his sleeve when people find out that he or she is a Magician and that they can perform magic. The first question people of course will ask is for a trick. I highly believe every Magician's 'Ace' Trick, that trick that no one has ever seen before; that trick with the effect that always gets the crowd rolling with cheer, should be something grand. Secondly, that 'Ace' should be the Magician's personal favorite.

I have never seen Return Flight out in the world.
I was completely stunned watching the video
This is something grand. This is my 'Ace'

Rick takes about 30 minutes of your time, shows you a couple of times the full routine, the preparation for the illusion, then finally the routine one last time; him showing you the 'magic', then finally the reset needed to do it for the rest of your life.

Look for that Magic that you can't explain, take it, learn it, then love it. Thank you Rick, I have found my Ace.

The most work it seems this trick requires is audience management...Rick himself says he has crafted this effect with minimal sleights, meaning less suspicious moves, and more in your face shazam....
Uses a normal deck plus gimmick, and it looks pretty foolproof if you watch your audience....this is one that should go into anyone's closeup act.

I have to say I thought about this one for a bit before pulling the trigger and purchasing it. I didn't want to get another trick that I'll never use. All that aside, I'm REALLY happy I picked this one up. I love the method and will definitely be fooling folks with this one.
