Easily one of the Top Five of this year!
So simple and easy. Prep time: 4 1/2 minutes. Keep in
wallet.
One of those one-in-twelve thousand effects that works by its own physics.
I am
70, you are not; therefore, I have been ripped off more than you can EVER FANTACIZE about.
Git
this.

Using 6-of-Heart & K-of-Heart like the video has a
potential risk of being caught when they are
folded
into Gimmick: "6-of-Heart is supposed to be facing K-of-Heart, but now it is facing
another 6-of-Heart".
I found Q-of-Club pairing with Q-of-Diamond or Q-of-Heart
is a
much better cards selection:
- they are black/red, obviously different cards
- the Queens
have similar faces, are facing the same
direction, and wearing colorful uniforms --- they
bring natural camouflage.
I would rather be extra cautious than under estimate
spectators' alertness that might bring disaster to this
5-Stars trick.

I am REALLY NOT KIDDING!!! This may very well turn out to be one of the CLASSIC Penetration
Illusion. And let me explain why... This is a Super Visual Effect, that can be given to the
audience, before you do the trick to check thoroughly that the cards are just regular cards. They
can see that there is nothing special about it - other than the two holes cut-off. They may sign the
card if they want to, to make sure that you are not switching anything. THERE WILL BE NO SWITCHES
Anyways. The more curious audience can inspect you and your hand as much as they like BEFORE, DURING
& AFTER the effect. Lastly they may not only inspect the signed and unharmed cards, they can just
keep it as a souvenir. Performance can be done FULLY SURROUNDED, with just one person or a hundred
all watching you and the cards, like a hawk. In their hopeless and desperate effort, to figure it
out. There is almost Zero% chance of ever getting caught. There is NO ANGLE REQUIREMENT, or NO
SPECIAL LIGHTING. Perform it anywhere, anytime and to anyone.You need zero skills, the 5 minute
preparation is all you need to learn the trick. You can start performing it immediately. The same
cards may be used over and over many times, if you don't get it signed and give it out. The
penetration can be through any long solid objects, like Sharpies, chop sticks, etc. Using a solid
object is better when you have a single audience.
In-fact I performed the effect for one
of my co-worker, with two sharpies that I borrowed from him. He tightly held on to both ends of not
only one, but two sharpies pushed through the two card he just thoroughly examined and signed. When
the cards melts right through UNHARMED. His reaction was simply priceless. I had to perform the
trick twice over for him. Luckily its zero reset time as-well. My co-worker sat down, baffled
examining the sharpies and the cards for literally fifteen minutes.
You have more fun,
with the over confident, and overly curious peoples...LOL. This is the GO-TO EFFECT for one of
those. How many effects are there, that is this CLEAN? Please advise me of other effects, that has
equal or close criteria. I am willing to spend a lot for such tricks.I can't imagine why Brandon and
Chris are offering the price they are offering. BUY IT.....IT Cannot last this cheap. More
importantly, Please don't forget to leave comments recommending any other magics that is Almost
self-working , clean and fail prof like this one.

I was disappointed as usual with the simplicity of the effect. i was sure it would not work. I
tried it out on my Magic club, and they were amazed. So simple and seemingly unworkable but it did!
It amazed a group of seasoned magicians. Can't wait to try it out in public.

To say that you end clean is not quite true. The cards are in fact gimmicked.
If someone were to
inspect the cards after, they might just see that something has been done to those cards! That being
said, the trick is pretty good. There's no DOOT ABOOT it EH?!

The idea behind this trick is ingenious. The use for old cards makes it worth learning. The effect
is magical and so will the reactions. A minor angle issue dropped it to a 4 for me. But otherwise a
very nice idea and trick!! Great job guys!!

ITS A GOOD EFFECT, NOT sure the cards would stand up to instant inspection. The arts & crafts may
take a bit of time, especially getting perfect circles.
A circle cutter from a craft store
does cost a few EXTRA bucks.
The video explanation was straight to the point (short N
sweet).
Cost was a fair price, considering it was an instanr download.

You know the drill. A trick looks amazing in the video and says it's easy to perform. You get it
and it's a poor idea with limited angles, difficult to learn and you have to buy a whole lot of bits
and pieces and spend days experimenting building props and gimmicks.
This trick is not
that.
I performed it ten minutes after I downloaded it, there's a tiny bit of building
anyone could do in five minutes and you only need to purchase one item any craft or art store would
sell, chances are you already have it.
Top knotch have value.

...but Penguin have hit it out of the park again with this. I though that there's no way it could
work as clean as the demo, but it actually does. The gimmick was easy enough to make, and whilst
trying other substitutes for the magic part of the set up, (as I didn't have it on hand), I was sure
that there was no way it would work, but once I got the stuff I was supposed to get, (available at
most gas stations and 711's, for less than $3.00) it is absolutely flawless.
Well done Chris
and Brandon!!

You already watched the trailer for the download, and now you are looking at the reviews. Well, quit
reading reviews and BUY IT! I just downloaded this yesterday and have already blown minds all over
town!
You need zero slight of hand experience, the scissor skills of a 6 year old, and a
couple extra fingers (and even those aren't mandatory).
Seriously folks, I'm only giving
this thing five stars because it deserves it. Super easy to do, people love it, and you will always
be remembered for being the guy/girl who did this awesome feat.
There are much worse
things to be remembered for.
