With some slight modifications to the gimmick and time invested in practice, this should last a
lifetime. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is twofold.
One, because they rushed the
production of the gimmick before finishing touches were performed which would have aided in the
installation and removal of the gimmick from the body and also helped to conceal it much better.
They don't affect the effectiveness of it at all and only take 15 minutes to do one time only. I was
a Tool & Die Maker in a mold shop for 30 years so I know all about making things like this.
The other modification only took 5 minutes to do but was absolutely necessary for the gimmick to
function properly.
The other reason I deducted a star is because of the fact that they
didn't market it as more of the utility device which it is, rather than the somewhat misleading
turnkey routine which it might be misconstrued as being.
With only one mediocre card trick
supplied, it left me feeling a bit wanting. They merely mentioned a popular coin trick but no real
details were supplied.
Personally, I would pay a bit more for polished routines with all
the kinks worked out through hundreds of real-world performances. I feel they were more focused on
patting themselves on the back over and over for their ingenuity. I hope this isn't the direction
Magic is taking these days, simply churning out more gimmicks like a Clearing House of Magic.
But hey, overall it's still a good trick, does all the hard work for you as far as being able to
produce cards and coins from thin air...or from wherever you want, and I'm glad I bought it.
One more thing. It's not as easy switching from coins to cards and back as they purport, so my
advice is to purchase two of them and you'll always be ready to Look Like A Pro.
