So, I've had Hover Card Plus for about two months now since Magi-Fest in January and all I can say
is that I love it! Laypeople are absolutely stunned by the "gravity-defying levitation" and the
improvements that were made upon the gimmick (as explained in each of the trailers) make the
original Hover Card so much more amazing. I highly recommend that you go ahead and purchase this
before it sells out. Congratulations on the fantastic release Nick and Dan.

What a beautifully made gimmick this baby is. I was doing it 1 minute after watching the instruction
video. Be careful you will fool yourself. This surely will go into your WORKER pile!

Visually this trick is everything it appears to be. I bought it a while back and have performed it
about half a dozen times. I just can't build the confidenceI need to handle it correctly 100% of
the time. I have spent hours working with it, but I have only gotten moderately proficient with it.

Got this at the Newark , NJ PM Expo! I have not owned other versions of hover card however, this is
the best gimmick that you can incorporate into many routines of card magic. This is completely
customizable. Will work on any deck of cards but I prefer using a standard red Rider back. You can
even use this on a dollar bill and make the dollar bill levitate. This is a really easy gimmick to
make except for the part that enables it to go forward and backwards. This is definitely a five
star product. If you do card magic you will not be disappointed. Nick is great, demoing and helping
at the expo. If you like this, and do some card magic with mentalism get B-Wave, use these two
routines together making it like your taking it all out of a normal deck of cards. Hope you all
enjoy and hope this review will help you on your purchase.

The main gimmick came misaligned, and the gimmicked card that holds the magnet popped apart after
just a few minutes. Fairly easy to repair both of these issues but for $40 I don't expect to have to
repair it literally out of the box. (Overpriced at $40 even if gimmicks were functional)
On
top of all of that it is really not all that practical. Not easy to get into and out of in real
world performance. Which is probably why they do not show a single live uncut performance in the
entire video instructions. Angles are 'narrow', but I knew that going in and they are manageable
under the right conditions.
Surprised by all of the 5 star reviews, and realize that my
review is the 'minority report'. Hope it helps someone in making a more informed decision on
purchasing this.

I picked this up from Nick Locapo at the Penguin Expo in Tampa. I've been playing with it ever
since. I've always liked Dan Harlan's original hover card, but then Nicholas Lawrence comes along
and makes it much more practical. I love the idea of having it be any signed card. It makes it a
much more emotional impact. Highly recommend!!!

This is what I was hoping for - a functioning gimmick with a great explanation on how to maximize
its use. The explanation is clear and concise and the product I received was of great quality. With
an hour or two of practice and audience management, you'll be up and running - sometimes less for
people who already possess some of these skills. I would purchase again!

I major upgrade to the previous method, gimmick and handling. This looks and feels like real magic.
The video is well shot and the instructions are crystal clear. I was performing the effect for my
wife, 10 minutes into the video. She gasped!
