Ok, I've ordered alot of instant downloads from Penguin and this one definitely takes the cake.
Worth every penny, and I would say the same if the price were doubled. The method is brilliant.
About 5 seconds of prep and you're ready. Some of the other reviews are saying the moves are tough,
i disagree. There's a decent amount of things to do, but once you have them down pat it's no more
difficult than what you generally expect from a magic trick. Took me about 3 practice runs and the
wife was clueless.. all in all the best trick I've bought in a while.

This is a fantastic routine however,.....the moves etc. take a lot of practice because precision is
necessary.Plan on using several decks to get it right.

This is my best purchase in some time. Even though I have a video somewhere of Charlie Frye teaching
the original version, this one with Wayne Houchin adding his touches to it is superb. I never
bothered to master this from the original version. Wayne's approach inspired me and now I finally
have it down. Had to go through about a deck of cards so far to get the fold wired. If you consider
the visual nature of the trick, the relative ease, the positive angles and ease of clean up, this
might be my new go to torn and restored card. I love Torn, but it's angle-sensitive. I think this
will replace it in my bag of tricks.

It took me three torn decks of cards before I did give it a try. It didn’t work.
Even when you
have the fold down, even when you are a star in misdirection and audience management, you still have
a dig bumb of cards to conceal with your right hand.
So you can only execute this trick for an
audience that doesn’t pay attention. If that’s your thing, it’s a nice trick to practice. It keeps
you occupied for hours to learn and joyful moments when the fold comes out smooth.

The secret to how this works is brilliant. And I mean truly brilliant. Let me say this: you are
using only two cards. I would have never come up with this in my lifetime.
One caveat. The
Wayne Houchin close-up demo is absolutely accurate—with the one exception: the insertion of the card
and the display of both sides (prior to bringing it up to face level) is an abject misrepresentation
of actual performance, and to be honest, they had to work REAL hard on this misrepresentation. There
is some audience management involved—not a seamless moment as seen here. But once you’re at the
insertion phase (as shown at face level with Houchin), it’s exactly as seen.
The concept is simpele and easy to do.
The video whith the exlanation dosnt work. It stops over
and over again.
Thats wy I gave 3 stars.
This is seriously the best thing ever! It's so simple to do, everything is done in plains site, and
it looks absolutely fair as well as impossible. Wayne teaches every detail and then they show you
how Charlie does it. So awesome. You can't beat this. Get it now!
