Magic Tricks

First of all let me review the effect. As such, it easily deserves 5 stars. As a card “trick”, it is beautifully motivated and artfully presented. Chris and Steve spend a great deal of time educating and elucidating you on a myriad of ways to make this a very effective card trick.
As a matter of fact they spend too much time doing so. They spend very little time going over the absolutely brilliant part of the presentation, which is the language and psychology of the delivery. They could have included a short pdf of the script and further discussed how to skillfully deliver such a powerful presentation with more verbal psychological subtlies and wonder words and how to delicately tread in the field of someones emotions.

This presentation is too strong.

There is more here than just a card trick. More than most magicians or mentalists can handle. Its almost irresponsible to sell something like this to people who aren’t prepared enough to handle the responses that it can illicit, which can be deeply emotional.
I urge you with all sincerity...if you are not equipped to truly connect with someone on an intense level or if you are just looking for big reactions to bolster your ego, if you are not mature enough to know when you are playing with fire and that fire can warm someone or burn them...dont buy this.
All Tied Up by Chris Philpott and Past, Present, Future by Rick Lax are probably the two most powerful effects on penguin that are marketed as magic tricks when they are far far more than that and give people the ability to toy with participants emotions at the expense of looking like a cool magician.
Please tread lightly my friends...respect those you perform for and know that just because you can do something doesnt mean you should.
Peace...
