What you see is what you get.
Most trailers dont seem to give you the full effect but this does,
you actually perform it the way he does.
I am very happy with this purchase, i got it for $10
and think thats a steal.
truly impromptu, needs nothing but your hands
I will certainly be
using this in my routine and probably as an opener.

I was skeptical, prepared to be disappointed. When I watched the video I wasn't sure I'll pull it
off, and the first time not in front of the mirror, true, I didn't.
I returned to the mirror
(overall an half an hour practice all together) and went out again.
Man, the responds were
great !
I performed this one for adults only, so far, and there wasn't one person who didn't
want to know how it's done as much as I did when I bought this.
I actually add a little
demonstration of how it couldn't be done, after performing this, hiding the pinky without doing the
move, thus flashing it, to prove this is truly impossible.
Reputation maker !
I
read an interview with the creator prior to buying this about the creating and marketing process of
magic for magicians. It sounded like there's a chance in some cases the reactions are hand-picked. I
didn't buy that and I glad I didn't. This one delivers and that's a lot to say these days.
I buy tons of magic, here and from fellow magicians, and I've dedicated a large part of my life
to learning buy also to enjoying magic. Too many times what I bought for ten or more times this much
is disappointing.
For 10$ this is a bargain. For 50$ this is a bargain. The secret is a
simple one, but it's golden because it actually works !
Buy and amaze people. It's as
simple as that.

I think that everything anybody needs to perform this trick.... is included in your lesson. You are
very sincere and entertaining and provide common sense answers to prevent problems.
I
enjoyed this very much! I am 51 years old now... and my hands are not as limber as they used to be
when I was wowing the kids in my neighborhood... but even I can utilize Nick's wonderful trick to
wow my friends an audiences at a moment's notice.
In a word, this whole effect is simply
well done. Bravo!

I've known of Meir Yedid's work in this area for a long time. I never saw it done well though. It
seemed like every time I saw it done, it was performed by someone who had heard of the work but
never seen Meir perform.
Enter Nick Locapo, who not only put in the time and energy to
learn it properly, he advanced it to it's current form. This is a piece of art. To learn the
basics is very easy, but it's the subtlety and nuance he adds to this very well taught download that
make it work the money. The fact that he has been doing this for years in real world environments
shows when he discusses not only finger placement but audience placement as well.
I've
seen him do this in real life and it looks like trick photography. Finally learning all of the
individual pieces puts into perspective what a good trick this is. No one spends years perfecting
a single trick if it isn't worth performing. There is more than a half hour of instruction and
discussion of this single seemingly simple trick, something a lot of complex card and coin effects
down't get.
Simply put this is a well taught powerful effect that is worth the time an
energy to learn. I loved it when I first saw it. Now I'm thrilled I get to learn it myself for
those rare moments I don't have my cards on me and I need to nail someone to secure a booking.
Professional grade magic for $15. Nick should be charging way more.

I have Meir Yedid's work on this, and it is impressive. Meir does an act across the digits which is
fun to watch. I have to say, however, that Nick has taken this to a new level! REALLY! Nick's
vanish/removal are seemless. Even though he shows those of us with stiffer fingers how to assist the
disappearance, with a little work, the little finger can do the move on its own (and Nick does this
several times.) However, with Nick it looks similar to a retention vanish of a finger! It actually
makes you laugh (even though you know the secret) because you still find yourself looking in
disbelief with the removal/disappearance AND the return. I got this for 7.50-worth EVERY penny. He
also gives you a little routine you can do that lets the audience relax/groan, and then POW--- "
WTF?!? Did I just see what I thought I saw?!?!?" Great job Nick and I agree that most anyone should
be able to do this with a little practice/slight adjustments.

Been doing magic for 20 yrs. Never did the "finger removal" trick, but now am excited to practice
the whole routine. As much as I got this for my out and about magic, I can't wait to do it for my
4yr old granddaughter and 2 yr old grandson who know automatically grabs his year anytime Paw Paw
says the word magic!

I can't stop practicing this and grinning while I'm doing it.
I've seen some people saying
they can't do this because they're not flexible enough. I'm pushing forty and have no special
physical abilities so I'd suggest *pretty much* anyone could do this. I could imagine some people
with joint problems or something might have trouble with it but barring anything like that you
should jump in.
Like anything this will take some practice to do well but essentially it is
pretty easy and I was doing it to a reasonable standard within a couple of hours. A little exercise
is suggested for making it really smooth. The angles are better than I had anticipated and this is
covered in the download.
The tutorial is comprehensive, with a lot of tips and
troubleshooting and performance ideas. A fun five-phase routine is taught in full. I love this.
Recommended.

I keep forgetting to leave reviews (sorry guys!) but I had to make sure I made one for this.
This is a great effect that takes a little practice, but Nicks teaching is, as always, gold
standard. I figured the effect out from the trailer a while ago, but decided to buy it mainly for
Nicks method and his thoughts. I wasn’t disappointed!
Nick covers everything, and even has
additional moves for those who think they won’t be able to pull it off (pun intended!). His 5 phrase
routine is a great added bonus, which also teaches you some other moves that, if you don’t already
know them, are worth the price of this trick alone. I’ve learnt some new moves and it’s definitely
improved my performance of it!
This is a fun effect that you can add to your repertoire at
any time. I have done card tricks, coin vanishes, hypnosis and mentalism effects on friends, family,
and strangers in bars, but this one has gotten one of the biggest reactions so far!!

This thing is superb. Nick shares the history and points you where to go for more. Perfect to go
with Mengel's breaking point and Freak by Will Houston and tons of ring magic.

First I was like, nah am not flexible enough. Cant do it. With a little practice, I am fooling
myself in the mirror. Looks so deceptive.
