I’d like to start by saying that overall, this was a great download! Being able to have a solid
piece of mentalism that you can carry around in your pocket and perform at any time is awesome. Not
only is this mentalism, but this is a real crowd pleaser! It gets people involved and letting them
flip the coin is really cool. The fact that this works every single time is great, however, this
does not mean that you do not have to do anything. To get the full effect there is a little bit of
memorization. It may seem trivial but this is vital to get the full effect. You will want to
practice this many times so that you do not blank when performing. I recommend practicing for a
solid ten to fifteen minutes straight so you can do all the little moves naturally. There are not a
lot of different outcomes but you will still want to practice so you have gone over any possible
situation. Rick does a great job of explaining every detail and even gives us many examples from the
performers point of view. For me personally, this is not an opener. Just due to the nature of the
trick, I would like to have already established myself as a magician before performing this effect.
This does not take anything away from the trick, just a personal preference. The only downside I
found to this download was that Rick did not talk much about one of the possible endings. He did not
go over the handling of one of the reveal envelopes. It is not a huge deal because after one minute
of thinking I came up with the solution to handling the envelope so I always know how it is
oriented. Again, I’d like to reiterate, this was a great download! Rick is a great teacher, thinker,
and creator and I will continue to support him!

The ad copy states: A piece of SIMPLE, STRAIGHTFORWARD mentalism that WORKS EVERY TIME and is EASY
TO DO. But just because it’s easy to do doesn’t mean it’s easy to figure out…
You remove a coin
envelope from your pocket and dump out three quarters. They’re all real. The spectator flips each
one of them onto the table, one at a time. There’s no way you could know the outcome in
advance…right?
With TRIPLE FLIP, your prediction will be a PERFECT MATCH, every time.
Instant reset. Perfect for any close-up occasion. A surefire prediction that fits in the palm of
your hand. It’s Rick Lax’s Triple Flip.
The ad copy is perfectly accurate to what you will
learn. This is a pretty shocking mentalism piece that is surefire. Your prediction will hit every
single time. When you get this, you will think to yourself, why didn't I think of this? But that's
not a bad thing. It's a very clever method, not new principle. The reset time is also instant, your
reset is you pick up your coins, and put them back into your envelope. That's it. That being said, I
would not perform this for the same audience. So if you are looking for a killer piece of mentalism,
that takes little pocket space, this is for you. It is also a lot cheaper than it should be, I think
it should be at least double the price. But well done Rick, and for anybody that is even interested
in mentalism, pick this up!

If you think you know how it's done... You're probabaly right. Either way, it's a nice trick and as
always, Rick give you extra original ideas on how to perform it and about gimmick prep...
I'm pleased.

This will sound so cliché but... Why didn't I think of this?!!!?!!
The effect is beautiful!
People go crazy about predictions, honestly the spectator reactions in the video don't do it
justice, most people lost their mind in my experience. There are no forces, the spectator has 100%
control of the coins. They can literally land anyway and the prediction is always a hit. At first
the presentation and method were bugging me a bit but I tweaked a few things (like I do with most
effects) and now it fits my style better and I love it! So if you regret the purchase at first (I
doubt it, but just in case) start using your brain and fixing what's bugging you.
One
thing is for sure, Lax never disappoints.

Rick Lax not only presents a solid concept, but takes it a step beyond to cover subtle nuances that
will strengthen the performance. From things like word choice to presentation techniques, Rick
manages to cover everything you need to know for a solid performance. The trick presents exactly as
shown in the preview and is smaller than a deck of playing cards in your pocket. Definitely worth
picking up!

I have been working on mentalism stuff for a wile, always trying to find clever and clear stuff and
folks this is a must buy.Pack small play big, the idea is so clever and you are ready to go just
before watching the video. you will also find your own ideas about the presentation and more, that
will give you a master piece in your repertoire.
From Spain many thanks rick Lax and
Penguin Magic for bringing us this small miracle.

I have been watching this download and I am loving what I am seeing. I can even take it a step
further. I have a wallet that is designed to.do what he tells the magician to use. This is very
powerful.

Love this... especially the subtleties that seem to add extra impossibility to the prediction.
Very pleased with this!
