Great trick and easy to perform. A good place for beginners to start as well. No slight of hand or
other tasks that may require a lot of practice. Once you watch the very quick training video,
anyone can take off running and performing.

I am really bummed out! I watched the video several times prior to the card arriving in the mail and
again before using it. It broke literally the very first time I used it. I am not at all new to the
type of construction or materials used in this gimmick and I know i was not too forceful. I have the
materials to fix it, but for the few pennies in materials to make this, I think it ought to last
longer than a millisecond.

This trick isn't practical for the situations where I perform. The trick can't be performed
outdoors or in strong light. If you want to perform it the same way that Mickael Chatelain does in
the promo, you have to wear a particular article of clothing and have access to a particular kind of
table. I wish I had known these limitations before I purchased the trick.

This was the first trick I ever purchased from Penguin Magic and it is great! I am 73 years old and
certainly not a magician but I like a self working trick that I can fool the grandchildren with and
this really hits the spot. And it is easy to fool adults too. The video explanation by Rick Lax is
so easy to understand and it is always great to see him do these tricks. Five stars and an A+ too!

well made and great "quickie" effect. very easy to carry off with a little movement. hard to see
even in room lighting but invisible in even slightly low light. It looks just like it looks in the
demo. Black shirt can be helpful but not mandatory

I work in a bar and THIS trick, is by far the one i get asked to do over and over again! Customers
bring friends in JUST to have me do it!!

This trick is a mind blower! With the Rick Lax presentation, the spectator sees a round hole from
both sides. Next the hole instantly, while in complete view changes from round to square, then
changes back and forth by simply turning the card over. The trick ends with them seeing a round
hole on front and back again. There are no difficult sleights or moves at any time during the
routine so this trick is Ideal for beginners and seasoned magicians alike, the reactions are BIG. I
am a hobbyist, I use this trick in a classroom setting and all of my clients have loved it.
I can't give this trick a 5 for three reasons. 1) The gimmick is ingenious but very fragile. 2)
You can't perform it anywhere, it requires specific conditions. 3) The card is not examinable.
Despite these limitations I highly recommend this trick.

Easy to perform, but not with bright lights or the sun. Even in the video you can see the gimmick
with the angle. You need dim lighting otherwise you are given away and the average laymen can see
how it is done.

Great trick, mixes two principles of magic to make an even more deceptive trick. Not closely
examnable, but still can give the impression of examnability.

This looks really great on video but the card is utterly un-inspectable and believe me, they are
going to want to see it!
