The teaching on this trick is fantastic. R. Paul Wilson makes it every clear how to do everything.
It's also a very solid trick that laymen will have no chance of busting. Also, this is not the type
of trick people are going to want to bust because you've made the magic all about their love. The
angles on it are fantastic.
This is not a trick you're going to do at every table, bit
this is a trick that when the right opportunity arises for you to perform it you're going to be
super glad you own it.
While you can get into this from the deck you're working with
that's not taught and intermediate magicians should not expect to be able to do it. Even getting
into position in the middle of a set once you find out it's a couple's anniversary is difficult. R.
Paul Wilson sort of assumes you'll walk up to the table in position to do this trick, although
another option is taught that is fiddly and would require you to switch decks. On Valentine's day
I'd totally do that. The rest of the year, I'm not so sure.
Wilson only teaches how to set
up on the fly. While I appreciate that I'm not sure it's a the best idea. You still need to be
somewhere private to do that. If I'm working in private I'd much rather use an exacto knife or
pocket knife to get a cleaner heart.
Bottom line, if it's likely that you'll do
walk-around on Valentine's day or if you consider yourself advanced enough to be able to load
everything necessary you should buy this trick and you'll love it.
