Usually if I end up with s trick I don;t like, I don't write a negative review,i just go away and feel shame for a few hours and then shake it off...but I felt compelled to write about this trick ,because I felt bamboozled, taken for a ride by the letter ( email I got from penguin) saying how great this trick is, and then after reading all the fine reviews I thought about it for awhile," AM I wrong about how stupid the payoff is for this trick"...???MAYBE ....Either that or the OTHER BRO'S HAVE A SPELL CAST OVER EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT THIS TRICK--CUZ 'ILL TELL YA MY GRAND DAUGHTER FIGuRED THIS ONE OUT---AND SHE'S 9. not to give the secret away--but who in their right mind is not going to hear the difference..I picked up o nit when the other brother said it on this demo--but I thought that can't be how he did this,,theres got to be something else...but no, the brothers were happy to put this one out with that as the x-planation..so id stay away from this one.btw I think its very funny how many of you gave this a five star rating, and then said things like...I don't know if I;'ll actually use this or not"---or" I don't think this ones for me." buy somehting else, and c'mon other brothers think a little harder next time,,,, please

I doubt if very many will actually perform this effect. The secret is not that cool.
Personally, I’m rather tired of effects being put out as stand alone downloads when they would be better suited for a book. But then I guess you can make more money off the current trend of downloads. Save yourself some money and buy a good book that you will get more out of.

I layman see 50/50. Someone show me how to do the trick, it's ok but again the layman will see the trick as a 50/50 trick, it's like flipping a coin. I just don't get it

I am not really impressed. I try to be completely honest in all my reviews and it is no different here. I just don't know what else to say without giving away the method. It just doesn't do anything for me. It's not anything I'll be performing. The method on making the ink disappear isn't anything new either although I'll admit, it's pretty cool but the main part of the trick doesn't seem all that impossible given there's a 50/50 chance of getting it right.

The method is just stupid and ridiculous, it's not magic, it's a joke. Don't waste your money on it.

I did not smile, I felt the 10 that left my wallet being wasted on a dumb idea. I will never use this. The end result is not even that great of an effect. Just kind of lame. Don't buy it.

This is an interesting idea but is not worthy of a download or separate release. Instead, it is the sort of thing that could be included in a book or magazine for readers to mull over and, if they felt tempted, to develop. Sorry, but disappointed with this.

I'm a sucker for this plot - the 50/50 influence style routine - so I bit.

This IS clever...BUT my gut reaction at the mid-point of the video was, "but will I actually use it?"

I feel the ad-copy isn't "very fair" in that it doesn't tip the fact that this uses an element of DR... that isn't necessarily a bad thing if the clean up is solid - but in the basic routine taught I wouldn't be comfortable with the DR when participants talk about it after the routine is over.

That said, I really DID like the "Bonus idea" shared where the "Very Fair" technique is applied to a concept popularized by Michael Murray with his "Universal Force" strategy. This effectively shifts the focus from the words and the DR becomes MUCH less of an issue. This idea also opens up the possibilities in the routine and allows you to take it in a variety of directions.

I should clarify as well that the "Very Fair" technique requires you to use THOSE two words IN ENGLISH (although I'm sure that other combinations may be possible, even in other languages). I was hoping that the principle was a bit more broad in it's application to ANY words/situations that you desire but that is not the case.

In conclusion the value (for me) in this release is that it opens up a technique that I'm sure I'll put some work into. It feels like a great jumping off point for me to develop further.

Best,

clever but knacky. I've tried in all my walk around and I've had other magicians try it and it is not a consistent hit.IF your audience has another language other than English as their primary it doesn't work. IF they have accents - it's very hit or miss.

I found the method quite interesting and possibly adaptable to other effects. For me, it is not very useful as I have a lot of repeat customers.
