I think the idea is a very interesting one. The effect on the audience I believe is very powerful.
Be forewarned that there are some more advanced moves. Patter is your friend with this gem.

A very ingenious method producing a hardly believable effect. If this is performed really well it
will impress any audience.
However a lot of work will be required, by all but the most
fluent and experienced performers, to achieve this. To my mind the filmed performance, in poor
light and by the creator himself, clearly signalled that something dodgy was going on. A DIY
gimmick requiring some craft skills is destroyed at every performance. 40 minutes of very clear
performance and instructions are contained in the download.
I am not convinced that this
level of complication is necessary to amaze most spectators. Done well it will however undoubtedly
impress any one, including other magicians.

I don't even know what to say. This is insanity. If someone asked me to show them real magic this is
what I would show them.
..and both cards are signed?!?! What?!

This is a incredible effect, one of the best card to impossible locations I've seen. Plus you don't
have to cart around dumb bulky boxes around, the method is a bit difficult but it is totally worth
it for this effect!

This is a save for those occasions where the scientists and engineers in the room are trying to
figure it all out. Jus shut everyone up with this and walk away! Awesome!

Getting a signed card to appear INSIDE another card seems like a difficult if not impossible trick.
Its definitely not your run of the mill card trick - this one is something special. Gimmick
construction is thoroughly explained as is each of the steps that make this trick seem like real
magic. It takes a little practice and attention to gimmick construction but it is well worth the
payoff. If you are looking for a card trick that defies explanation, then this is the one. Every
one will keep asking how you did it. One those tricks that sticks in their brains long after you've
done it. Definitely a keeper.

Loving this idea (I used to do a similar version with a coin back when I was C*** S*******G back in
the day.
Often times with these type of effects that require prep work, it's not worth it.
There's too much work to make the cuts and pasting, or whatever it is and they have to be so exact.
But with this one, I think the work is pretty minimal and the payoff is great.
I removed
one star because I'm sick of instructional videos (like this one) where the small detailed "dirty"
work is blurry and/or the camera is so far back you can't see the actual details of what he's doing
to prep or make the gimmicks. This should be standard these day. I don't understand how hard it is
to check focusing, or reshoot the instructional if your film is blurry.
Also, when
describing the instructions of what you're doing, write out a simple script beforehand so you know
what to say if you're not good with words. I wanted to scratch my face off listening to him trying
to describe what you're supposed to do in the construction of the gimmicks.
If I was a
newer magician, I'd be frustrated trying to figure out what the heck he is talking about. I've spent
the hours doing things similar to this, so it's not too hard for me to pick up. But if I spend money
to learn something, I would expect it to have been presented in a clear and concise way.
Anyway, back to the effect. If I had to impress one or two VIP's, and leave them with something
I would do Card to Mouth, then I would do this. Excellent effect!

Wow, I love this effect.
I love stuff to impossible places, So much fun and it will blow your
spectators mind!
This quick and easy to do trick (and an easier version for people who are at
the beginning of their journey) is fun. A fantastic way to end a set when doing walk around, or
with just with a few friends around the table.
The video is well explained but a little glitchy.
Mat, well done. Also Mat will explain about card construction, which can be take with some
imagination many different directions.
Cost little, pays Big!

This is a little time consuming in making, but for this reason few will actually make and perform,
having said that for those prepared to spend a little time will have a trick that will make them
stand out and be remembered ,
Good instructions, clear and not rushed

… or is it? There is a lot going on here but this is truly an effect that will fry any spectators
brain if that is what you are looking to do. Truth be told, be prepared to spend some time and maybe
some frustration making the gimmick. The explanation is well done and of course the first one will
take the longest but with repetition each one after will get better and faster. Once you are on a
roll, you may want a bunch for future performances. As for the woking of this trick, it will take to
a while to master this one, this is definitely NOT self-working and some quick practice. Skill level
will be for the more advance card person but like everything in life - practice makes perfect. If
you are willing to put in the time and effort, this is a keeper if your mission is to blow people
away. They will talk about this one for days after and you will definitely get requests from people
that have told to see you do it for them. I am giving this a 5 star because this is such a unique
trick.
