My son and I had the privilege to see "Bob" at one of Kieron's live lectures here in the US.
Needless to say, when we saw the trick out for sale, I wanted to snatch it up... alas, only in the
UK! So when I saw that Penguin had it, I thought this would be the perfect Christmas gift for my
son. Again, I was wrong. When he opened the box on Christmas morning, and all that was inside was a
pencil sharpener canon (yes! a dollar store pencil sharpener!) and a handful of cards with Bob
punched through it, his look of disappointment made me instantly regret the purchase. More than half
of the "trick" is missing from the "kit". Yes, I know, it's my fault because there is a sentence
that says they can't ship the flash paper from the UK... but doesn't Penguin sell flash paper? Can't
they complete the kit here in the US? Also, there is another crucial element that is not even the
flash paper that's missing - where's the card box? For $40, save your money and buy his lecture
instead. You have to make most of this yourself anyway so at least with the lecture you get so much
more. What a waste.

Wow what a let down. You cannot do the trick as shown or as advertised. the flash paper is not
available in the United States. and a certain down load file will not work it is just blank.
Very disappointed and frustrated with this whole trick.

This trick is in kierons lecture. U have to make it urself, but here it now comes with almost
every thing u need as flash paper can't be sent... this trick kills!!!! It's very entertaining. It's
very different. I love it! I loved it more when it was only known threw the lecture as I see alot of
ppl are gonna buy this one where as it being in his lecture, less ppl wld know about it... it took
me a long time shopping around for a cannon... I use a Lego cannon... many antiques stores I went
to to find one but started with a metal one till I found a Lego one... so that's an upside as it
comes with one... it's cheaper to buy the lecture and learn there and u will see more off the wall,
outside the box material from the mind of this unique crazy man... his style is very dif and unique
so u may wanna get the lecture instead and make it urself. It's really not hard to make at all...
It says u can use Ur own cards but I wld suggest using a mirage deck... not sure the handling and
such with a normal deck but the mirage makes it sooooo easy to perform... not sure if that's
explained in this product as I didn't buy it, but it is in the lecture... too bad flash paper can't
be sent threw mail Cuz it's it's very important and wld be nice to have it come professionally
done... (ull see what I mean when u get it)
All and all, Amazing trick! I use it in every
show I perform... Sucks that more ppl are gonna be doing this one now. I really do suggest his
lecture instead tho as it's cheaper and ull get sooo much more material and ideas that are over the
top, even if u don't use them, it's great to see what his mind creates..
down side, it's
a one off... u can't reset this instantly. U cld reset it if u go to the bathroom or something but
who has time for that? And to reset, ull have to carry more things to set it up so there goes pocket
space... next down side, (for me anyways as I use a mirage deck) the deck will be committed for only
that trick so it takes up pocket space... if u use a normal deck, u cld take the burned cards out
and continue Ur set... but agn, it's a one off so ull be going to other tables with a card box all
burned and burned cards in side and I dnt see that very professional showing up to a table with a
burned up deck... deff 5 stars!!! just suks that more ppl will be performing it nowthat it's being
released like this:(

This is an awesome idea, and could be 5 stars. Easily.
But due to the fact you can’t get the
flash cards needed, well. It stinks!
Now I feel the pain for those living in non-U.S.
countries. Usually things are harder/expensive for them. Now I can’t get what’s needed.
It’s like getting a brand new BWM that runs on fairy 🧚♀️ dust.
I don’t have a color,
non-laser printer.
And even if I did, I don’t feel like making up stuff.
There is someone
that may be making these, but only limited.
So
If you’re able to print or buy the must
needed flash cards. Then you’re golden.

Cool concept however in order to do the trick as demo you have to be able to print card back on
flash paper and u.s. flash paper is way too thin. Saturn magic can't ship thick flash paper to u.s.
The presentation without f.p. is lame in my opinion. I'm working on my own handling in which I use
f.p. but don't have to print on it.

it can’tt be performed as shown in the trailer if you live in the U.S.A.
An important part
of the effect depends on something made in England that can’t be imported to the States.
Perhaps I can figure out a workaround but Murphy’s should have made some arrangement to make
this important item available in the U.S.!

First off if you are in an area where they cannot ship to, skip over this trick because the non
flash paper version is pretty bland. Otherwise, you’re in luck! This definitely should be an add to
cart, the visuals are great. I’ve done this 35 times or so and it still never gets old watching that
card box burn away. Learning the best way to set it up may be a little hassle but once you get it
down it will be quick. The only downside is having to buy more flash paper but still they are pretty
cheap. Quit reading already, what are you waiting for? Buy it! It gets awesome reactions every time
and yes, bob really does get shot out of the cannon!

This is a great magic trick more of an effect than a trick. The only reason that I did not give it a
full 5 star rating is because they should have given us way more cards. Also they should have given
a stronger template as opposed to having us use a simple playing card as the template you will find
that you will end up needing way more cards really quick I hope you guys are going to provide
refills because I would hate to have to purchase the entire effect just to receive the few cards
that you did provide other than that guy's this is one effect that you can show off to children as
well as adults it is great

One of the best ways to reveal a card. Honestly this is way underrated, the possibilities are
endless. Big fan of this, the reactions are way worth it.
