This is a visually stunning effect and when done perfectly, can blow anyone's mind away. Unfortunately, it's one of those routines that is best performed on camera.

To perform it closeup in real life would be difficult - if you don't want your spectators to know what is going on. (ie: doing this in a noisy environment will be ideal)

The gimmick is very precisely made and in good quality. However, you'd also need to be in the correct light and angle to prevent anyone else from seeing what's going on.

All in all, a good trick, but too many limitations for real life.

A beautifull gimmick, very visual, very well made, works well, and this is only limited by your imagination!

The most important is, IT'S PRATICAL ! You just need to have this in your wallet or your deck and you're ready to go! Easy to carry, easy to use, this is by far my favourite SM Product so far!

A Scotch and Soda, with cards!

Now some people may consider this a one star effect and some may consider it a 5 star effect fortunately i consider it a 5 star EFFECT. Here's why the gimmick you receive isn't good at all!!! My gimmick broke the second i tried using it however the idea behind the trick is AWESOME so after my gimmick broke i was really dissapointed cuz i was really looking forward to performing such an effect so i checked the structure of the gimmick and made one myself it was great!! trust this was my first time making any card gimmicks and i had no prior knowledge of arts and crafts so its pretty easy! It takes me about 3 minutes to make one so that's good . on the dvd they dont show you how to make the gimmick but they tell you how however they do send you stuff to repair the gimmick. I contacted sansminds and told them about a modification i have been working on which makes the gimmick 100% reliable and work all the time they havn't answered yet but maybe they can release the method as a V2 or something.

DVD 10/10
Gimmick 3/10
Idea 10/10
Method 10/10

my whole issue is with the gimmick you receive and the sound it makes however can easily be avoided so that shouldn't be much of an issue

just got mine. what you see is what u get on trailer. gimmick is great. 5 minutes of practice you are good to go. my first Sansminds trick love it.

This is not practical for close up . Bad construction of the gimmick & too obvious. I suggest to buy Mickael Chatelain "money shot" it's ten times better . Jordan Victoria needed to learn from Chatelain honesty instead of edited video demo

I bought this from magic shop San Diego, but always read penguin reviews, so here goes..

I understand the low reviews. I was pretty disappointed when I first gave this a go. The gimmick I received wasn’t perfect, and when “engaged,” you could see quite a big sliver of red on a supposed blue card. This had me rebending the card, outside of the factory creases and it basically ruined the gimmick.

So I tossed it aside.

Then I had an hour on my hands to try and rebuild the gimmick from scratch. In the past, I had fixed a countless amount of elastic thread gimmicks, and had become efficient in splitting cards thanks to Blake Vogt’s split sessions, so rebuild is what I did.

Using Jon Allen’s Perfect Score, the gimmick I made is absolute quality. And now this is one of my favorite visual tricks to perform. It’s quick and astonishing. It’s hopping halves but with cards. When that card changes from blue to red right in front of their eyes, you get promo quality reactions.

I love visual magic, and I love this trick. If you have it in you to build a better gimmick, you’ll love this too.

You will never use this in a live performance, EVER.
I gave it 2 stars because the idea is okay.

The gimmick looking like if it was made by a little kid , very disclever and so poor , it doesn't cover well (like none straight picture on the wall , if you know what I meant), it needed to better recreated & new designed. I definitely don't recommend. Next time I will see the name of victoria Jordan on the product I won't buy it & I'll be aware that it's a poor gimmick & very bad product that sansmind had well edited it.

my gimmick broke within an hour of messing around with the trick
