The Mercury Card Fold has always been one of my favorite moves so I was interested in seeing this
update. The big selling point was that it can be done in action. In thinking about it, already do my
MCF in action and I thought everyone did. I'm honestly surprised that most people don't. Hey
Penguin! Want me to release my in action Mercury Fold with you? 😂
The angles are fantastic
but I think the angles on the Mercury Fold are better.
It seems to me like this is
slightly quiter than a Mercury Fold but that will probably depend on your speed.
It does
require two actions instead of one and it is slightly harder.
A big advantage is that you
can do a face down fold from a face down deck. For some routines that's a massive plus.
Although
it isn't taught, a slight shift will make the card folded with the face out for those who prefer it
that way.
One thing worth noting is that it folds the card the other way first which may or
may not suit your interests.
While it's not a hard move it is harder than a Mercury Fold.
It is however, slightly easier to do neatly.
All in all, your mileage will vary. Some will
consider this a life changer. Others will wonder why it was released. If you're unhappy with your
Mercury Card Fold, by all means by it. If you're happy with yours, skip it unless you have a routine
that requires getting a face in card folded from a face down deck.
YMMV
