Hi! This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.
I used to do this effect a lot
back at an old restaurant I worked for. It was a big hit back then. The trick is fun to do and can
definitely get people talking.
The reason for 3 star review is that although it's a cool
effect and gets people talking, it isn't necessarily a miracle-status effect. Also, I ended up
having to stop doing the effect because all the cards plastered all over the restaurant ceiling was
apparently a fire-hazard we found out, and had to be taken down immediately. After that, the trick
got retired.
It's fun, it's cool, and people will talk. Just be aware that it may end up
more like a puzzle than a miracle to your audiences.

I used this in one restaurant that I performed in for almost 4 years. I had cards ALL over the
restaurant.
I would throw the deck up, the card would stick and the deck would return to
my hand. I told the guest to come back next week with their friends and show them the card. They
often did and it created a lot of repeat and referred business for the restaurant.
If you
have a good ceiling to work with, I highly recommend this product.

This is one of those tricks that people will never forget. It's amazing that a card even sticks to
the ceiling, let alone their card! You won't be performing this trick the day that you get it, as
it will require lots of practice.

there is a reason this trick has been around for such a long time. It is a good trick that people
will talk about. Most brick and mortar shops have the ceiling plastered with cards from the
performance of this trick. You can have a lot of fun performing it. There is one situation that is
not good I have discovered. If you are working in a builing with the T-Bar ceiling with the foam
tiles the card will not stick to this material. It will almost any other situation.
This is a great trick, it's one of those ones that people will talk about for a long time. I
recommend you practise a lot those because the card will only stick when you throw the deck in a
certain way- so practise, practise, practise!
I never did get the card to actually stick on the ceiling, but I'd imagine if I practiced a bit
more, I could've had it. If you like the effect and want to put in the practice, I'd buy it. It's a
really cool effect that people will remember you by for ages. From when I was practicing, I still
have lots of cards on my ceiling. Be prepared to answer questions like "Why is your ceiling covered
in cards?"
