Hello Everyone,
Simply put... DON'T BUY THIS. I WANT IT ALL FOR MYSELF. LOL
OK.
Just kidding. Kinda. I CAN NOT believe that David put this trick out for us. And I find it even
harder to believe that it was only $19.95. This is a $200 Secret as far as I am concerned.
I was so in hammered with this trick that I spend 2 days searching antique stores until I found,
AND BOUGHT, the Bell. I spent $45 for it. Over twice what I paid for the secret. I had bought a
regular bell at Office Depot. Toss that idea. His bell is just way too COOL.
PROS:
1)
Works 100% of the Time.
2) Easy to do AND remember.
3) No real special moves, the cards do
it all.
4) Great video of David giving clear instructions.
5) Simple Reset or just have more
than one deck ready
6) No Deck switch needed. Really.
7) Allows the audience member to be
the star.
8) No Angle Problems. He mentions one, but if you do it right there are NO Angle
problems at all.
9) About 100 more reasons that I don't have time to list.
CONS:
1) NONE
Here's Why;
Most all tricks require what I call, Lazy Eye, from your
audience. In other words you have to do "That Move" and hope that nobody will catch you. In Rick
Lax's "CONTACT" there are two of those "Funny" Moves. But properly performed, they will never notice
them. I have performed "CPONTACT" hundreds of times since it's release and never had someone say one
word. However, with "Copycat" you don't even have that problem. There are NO "FUNNY MOVES" at any
time. I just wish I had thought of this trick AND Routine first.
About 10 years ago I
performed a version of this effect that ends the same way. The idea of adding the "BEll" was
straight up Genius. It makes the trick far more interesting than my old way ever was, and all of the
attention focuses on your audience member. And that is GOLD.
As you can see, this is what
it is, A Parlor Magic Show effect, NOT. I did it at a restaurant just 2 days ago. Anywhere a flat
surface is, you can perform Copycat.
My hat goes off to David Parr for giving me a Penn &
Tell Fool Us effect to my show that Fooled Penn and Teller. And for sharing such a fantastic effect
with the world.
If you DON'T buy this trick while it's only $19.95. You have no idea what
you are missing. Watch the video again. It will look exactly the same when you perform it. No funny
editing on this video. It is EXACTLY what he does and you'll do it the same.
AND YOU WILL
NEVER GET BUSTED.
I hope that Helped,
The Magic Doc
