"Pure rocket fuel. No filler." -Shaun Dunn

I'm STILL smiling. This is my favorite prediction trick of the year. WOW, is it good. So, so, so, so, SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOD. Bravo, Adam Elbaum!!

A stunning REPUTATION-MAKER straight out of Adam Elbaum's act, I don't remember the last time I saw a prediction trick this straight-forward OR powerful. Adam has discovered a method that will make you SMILE, and that will ABSOLUTELY SLAY your audiences. There's no !@#$ way in the universe that this is possible... and yet you do it without even wrinkling your suit.

HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS:

1. You lay down a folded prediction.

2. You have a card freely chosen, along with the cards to the left and right of it.

3. Now, when you read your prediction, prepare to have it snatched out of your hand and checked for tiny invisible gnomes with markers because NOT ONLY does it predict exactly which card your spectator chose, it also reveals the 2 cards it was next to that they did not choose!!

CAN YOU SEE WHY I'M STILL SMILING???? Card magic DOES NOT get more powerful than this. And the proof is in the reactions and fun you'll be having. If you're not 5-stars happy with this trick I'll be shocked, I mean it. I'm putting it all out there: I love this trick.

PROFESSIONALS: Adam is a worker. This is a showpiece straight out of his working repertoire. You'll recognize how perfectly it's suited for walk-around. You can perform this all night long with minimal overhead. They can keep their chosen card, or your prediction and they'll never discover the devilish secret.

GET THIS. I'm serious, you will immediately put it into your act.

Perfect Position Prediction Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 12th, 2018
Perfect Position Prediction…this effect is a great effect. However, the journey to the end result is not so fun unless you’re a magician with great intermediate to advanced skill in card manipulation.

I am not a magician nor am I adept at card manipulation. Had Adam Elbaum and the folks at Penguin been more up front in their advertising, I would have never made this purchase. I am a mentalist / psychic entertainer, and what drew me to the effect were the title and the promo video. I really like and seek out prediction type effects.

The effect in-and-of-itself, is very good…but to get to the great ending…you’ll need to know at least two what I would classify as at least intermediate level card sleights…in addition to a deck switch…now I’m aware that you card guys will probably think “what’s the big deal” a couple of sleights and a switch…?

But to guys like myself, who’s card expertise ends at “here take a card”…the sleights required for this effect isn’t that easy. So, the moral of the story here is…if you’re not into card sleights and switches this isn’t a good purchase for you. I feel Elbaum and Penguin should have, at some point, in the written blurb at least…stated that there are card sleights involved.

So I’m guessing that in the interest of sales…not forthrightness, the blurb and video is the sell, not the particulars. So Elbaum and Penguin got from me the price of the effect plus shipping, and I can’t help but feel that the guys are sitting back with a slight smirk as they read this…if they do at all.

Continued Success,
Dr. Dan

Disapointed Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 21st, 2018
As soon as I saw the full performance I immediately knew how it was done. It is extremely disappointing that we do not get to see uncut performance video before a purchase. It really borders on false advertising. Had I seen a full uncut performance I would not have purchased - it is still a good trick but using a method any reasonably proficient card magician would recognise instantly.

Honestly Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 31st, 2018
This is a good trick. It is a very clever usage and presentation using apparatus (kind of apparatus anyway) that you may already have. My observations (not complaints) are 1) that even with its various handlings and routines, it is still a one trick pony. 2) It would require a table top for probably 95% of performances of it. 3)for what it is, without tipping the secret (I am not one of those guys), it is quite expensive. Having said all that, I believe a lot of folks will find good use for it.

I can understand how some would like this effect, but for me it is only so so. The "special" move that has to be done to complete the effect looks less than clean, regardless of how well you can do it. It just doesn't look right. If I wouldn't have jumped on board with the hype, the sales pitch, and if I would have just watched the trailer more closely, the method is obvious. But that's the nature of buying magic. It's certainly not the first time I've paid twenty four bucks for a ten dollar trick.

A Stunning Worker With a Compromise Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 7th, 2018
The cards can be shuffled and examined by the spectator as much as they want to start, and can then be genuinely shuffled again by the performer.

Once the cards are spread, the spectator can freely choose any card, and can change their mind as many times as they'd like.

There's only one thing required you might not already have, and assuming you have it the instant video includes everything you need to know. The moves are simple and straightforward and will fly by your spectators. There's no palming, lifts, breaks, or other technically challenging sleights.

The cards cannot be examined at the end, but there's no particular reason why spectators would think to do that.

The price tag is a little higher than most effects of this nature, but I'm in the school of thought that says you're paying for great ideas that will produce great reactions, not paying for the complexity of the effect or the materials provided. I think this is a good example of a fairly straightforward method that will blow people away.

But wait, there's more! After the instructional video for Perfect Position Prediction, Adam teaches a completely different effect that uses part of the same method. So really, you're getting two different effects for the price. Suddenly this is a bargain rather than a stretch.

Not so bad... but expensive for what it is Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 4th, 2019
This effect has a great impact on people if you present it correctly. This is a good idea, not new at all, but still a good idea.
With also 30mn of explanation for a very simple move and the use of a prop you certainly have at home. So, pretty cool.

But, here comes the problem of the price. If I would have seen the full performance before buying, I wouldn't have bought this effect. Because it is very easy to understand how it is done just from the performance if you have some experience with magic. And 30$ for just a "secret" move like that, with the use of a trick deck, and let's admit the input about the deck switch was not so bad --> meh...
I would have rather see it in a compilation book about this kind of special deck, or at least at a lower price.

Summary: the idea is cool, but I didn't learn anything with this purchase because I already used a similar idea. I was expecting something else maybe, and it is a bit expensive for what it is

A new level of impossibilty for a modrn classic Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 2nd, 2018
Adam has taken a classic move/effect from Bill Simon, added a refined handling and really kicks it into high gear with a whole new idea. This has now become a solid, impossible effect for your close-up arsenal. If you show this to any magician who doesn't already know this, you will lead them down the garden path, then turn the hose on them! Bravo Adam!
