Nice Effect for Right Audiences Report this review

This is my honest opinion on this effect, it may clash with all the 5 star reviews but I will tell you why I think it is only worth 3 stars.

The process to get to the pay off is very process driven, if you are performing for a drunken audience forget doing this trick. Matt was doing this at a bar and the lady on the second clip of trailer was very much the worst for wear. If you end up buying the download you will know fully what I mean.

In order to perform the trick as shown on the trailer, you need to know something about the coins. Matt does explain how you can perform it with the spectators coins, making it more impromptu but this can cause problems in getting to the outcome. It could also make it more transparent
to what you need to know and do.

If you are willing to put the time and effort in to carrying a purse of change or other objects around with you and you perform on a table top and the audience is paying attention this could be a nice effect for you.

However if the audience have been drinking and don’t follow your instructions to the letter, drop coins etc you will have a difficult time getting to a pay off prediction that they might not understand.
I personally don’t think the final reveal of the prediction is strong enough IMHO and due to the performing conditions it is not a worker for me.
