this trick is okay, I like it, but will not fool a magician. I've had a few people guess how I do it
correctly. And this trick is way to expensive it should be a 10$ instant download. 99% chance you
already have the gimmicks for this trick.

Eraser is strong magic. It's visual, direct, and interactive.
Walk-around magic is full of
challenges - and Eraser overcomes many of them. Working in a loud environment? This effect can be
performed with minimum patter.
Is it direct enough so that drunkards and dullards can follow the
plot - but deceptive too? Yep.
Does Eraser play in the spectator's hands? Yes- and that type of
magic is what makes walk-around magic so much fun.
Ring In / you can keep the gimmick in
with a regular deck and do the re-set practically in front of the spectators. While you'll need to
keep them out of play, with a bit of imagination you can do several card tricks with the Eraser
gimmick in the deck.
Pulling the cards out of a deck (rather than a plastic packet holder
- please, please never do that - it screams "trick cards!") makes the effect more impressive and
your routines more fluid.
Wear & Tear: Last night I did 3 hours of walk-around at a
country club garden party. 3 hours in humid air - cards and card gimmicks gets unusable. I'd
estimate I could do this trick 10 to 20 times in a row with no worries ... but after that I'd
probably want to use a fresh gimmick. I like to have my props ever-ready.
Good news ...
Rick shows you how to make your own - you don't need to buy refills :)
Angles: the trick is
80% to 90% angle proof. In paid walk-around I prefer 100%.
Handling / Display - the display
of two cards is just a bit unnatural. But I think if you do a Monte routine - the display would make
more sense. (But I can't plan to do table tricks in the real world of walk-around)
But BUY
IT, you will love it.

Just purchased and like it a lot. Think I may use a DB'er instead of the blank. When they open their
hands they will think all went wrong, when they turn it over....Bamm!! The face is a back! Also
could use a blank faced card instead of a double blank. Gonna play with a few different setups. As
far as handling...if you can't do these simple moves then you may want to go back to card magic 101.

Great trick but tooo much handling... If your going to us this in your routine on a daily or so
basis it's terrific other wise toooo much handling.

This is an excellent trick shown by Mr Rick Lax, but sometimes the teacher, (In this case Rick) do
tend to deviate away from the teaching.
Not all magicians, especially amateurs as I am, have the
same learning abilities, so please Mr Lax would you be kind enough to stick to the teaching and
secret of the trick, by not deviating as you so often do,so many times in your presentations.
I
ask this with the greatest of respect to you, which I have; but to frequently repeat in the middle
of your teachings for me at least defeats the learning process.
No offence is intended, other
than to point out that each and every one of us indeed are not at the top of their class.
Simplicity is always less confusing, than conjuncture.

First off I like most everything that Rick either puts out or does the training for. And ERASER is
no different. I love packet tricks and this is one that will be in my show tonight. There really is
no slight of hand just a little card control that is so darn easy that I was doing the effect before
Rick was done teaching it.
OK: THE EFFECT: Rick shows other uses for this trick but I have
found one that he did not teach. And I'm going to make it the ending to a bigger routine. But out of
the box this trick will amaze your fans and leave them speechless. It really does finish as clean as
it gets. And that is always a winner. But how dirty do you need to start? Let's just say that the
whole minor card control that you need to do is over so darn early in the routine that 80% of this
is your ability to play it up. In magic it doesn't get much better than that. The dirty work done
and the rest of the time play. I love it.
I have done many similar tricks to this, so I
can't believe that I didn't think of this first. But it was worth it to add it to my stock. Rick,
this trick is SICK. You're AWESOME.

I really like this trick a lot. I finish with a business card ending instead of the double blank and
the spectators can't feel the size difference. I also do an idea like 5 in 1 transpo were I ask the
spectators do you think I have the 9 or the 5 etc. than make the card disappear

This trick is really fine and cool.
But it's effect is not really strong,you need to find some
other trick or routine to combine it with because doing just the trick itself doesn't really "get to
it".

....let me get that hi five. I'll pretty much buy anything Rick puts his hands on simply because
he's a good teacher, his stuff is always on point and he seems like an all around good dude.
This trick is easy and powerful and as always the teaching is strong. Another win for Rick/Penguin.

Another great trick from Rick.
learn in 5 mins.
Has a number of uses and applications.
Even though it comes with gimmicks you might have everything you need to perform at least one
version at home, so with its instant download you could be performing this tonite.. and you want
to..go on...you know you do...but i actually its too good.i want it for myself so on second thoughts
do not buy this trick!
