Great trick Rick. Even me, someone just beginning in magic can be made out to look good doing this
trick.
Great explanation, thought out method, and I'm sure people will get great reactions.
Can't wait to set this up to try on my family first, then branch out to doing with friends.

So many great tricks are buried in books. Anneman and others spent lifetimes creating and performing
and people cannot see the greatness in what they have done. Mr. Lax has bypassed dvd's and quick
downloads and taken forgotten work and forged magic that even a neophyte could do. I grew up at
Ireland Magic and have seen many of the greats. Mr. Lax is on his way. Keep hitting the books!

I like the idea of an "post it" on a playing card, but I didn´t know that it was a counting trick.
Nothing personal, but I just don´t like counting card tricks.
But still, I am sure you can
perform this routine and impress people.

I believe my first Rick Lax purchase was "Detached." I've been hooked ever since. This is at least
the 12th trick/lecture I've recieved and have been absolutely thrilled with since. Going Postal
lives up to the prior praise. First off the deck is un-gimmicked and allows you to immediately go
into another trick as advertised. Rick covers all aspects of the trick as usual. The discussion
forum also has a lot of useful information and fresh ideas. I highly recommend to any card trick
enthusiast. Skill level of 2 on a 1-10 scale.

This hurts the average person's head just to think about how it was done. The whole project in
creating this really is a lucky find. This is also a pretty clever idea on how to force a card.
Thanks Rick and Justin for the interesting "202 ways to force a card" book is a lie! Well. Happy
with the purchase.

First off, I am beginning magician and have been doing mostly card magic. I have been looking for a
good trick to start off a routine with that wasn't an obvious stack (can I say that?) I wanted
something that couldn't be done in the middle of the routine, yet wasn't obvious that I set it up
before hand. THIS TRICK IS PERFECT! Wonderful trick and totally worth it in my opinion. Rick seems
to do this over and over with ease. If you are a Rick Lax fan, then this is must.

This is a great trick. One I will certainly use. I like how clever it is and how logical it
progresses to the finish.

First, the trick plays best if you can do a really convincing, reliable false shuffle to start out.
Don't buy it if you don't have a false shuffle ready to go.
Second, the trick relies on
something that Rick Lax could have written down for you and posted, but instead he makes you pry it
out of the video by playing it again and again. When I suggested to him that he share this
information, I got an insulting reply.
So I'd stay away from this one, and I'd stay away
from someone who insults their customers.

I substitute teach by day, and do magic by night. I've done this trick 10 times in the last 5
working hours with the night crowd and my students. Everyone is amazed.
1)This trick is easy to
learn with limited practice.
2) a beginner can perform with pro results
3) from shuffle to
finish routine. No "choose your favorite method" cheat in the instructions.
As a magician
for almost 20 years. I have created and performed, and this is exactly the style of trick that any
magician can have in his pocket in any occasion.
I'll be doing this one in my routines!

The trick is fine and I can tell a lot of thought went into it. However, the same end result could
be accomplished by forcing a card.... Would it be as clean? Probably not. But could you get creative
and simply force the card? Yes. Plus, the last thing I need is another stacked deck to carry around.
With that said, I really enjoy Rick Lax and buy up anything he puts out.
