Ok I’m going to go ahead and be the bad guy here. I love this effect and great value for money...however...keep in mind that the video shows the best case force. By this I mean that performance is not 100%, which to me is fine but the promo doesn’t seem transparent about it. If it was 100% this would be more expensive. Again really good value for money but I don’t want folks to be disappointed, such will lead to bad reviews and in this day and age that will kill sales anyway.

Truthfully if you do t know how to work a t**** f**** this is practically worth it just for that.

Don’t get me wrong - This effect has almost everything in my books, it’s all ages, friendly, unexpected, a thinker but also visual. My issue is those that just watched the vid and don’t realize it’s a timed force will be disappointed. I know they wanted a good price but I’d have provided plenty of extra force cards. This way if you preferred you could stack every third set as a force alternating sides with the force cards. With all those mixed types of socks no one, especially in a group setting, would ever notice. Or with extra force cards you could rough and smooth. How about every fourth be the force cards alternating sides and every second be flipper cards that match force if released?! Or hey three or four outs so every second turn over is a force also switching sides. Then you have two or three long sock necks on attached at the heel and you pull up with pant legs and reveal the proper out lol...ok maybe I’ve had too much java today 😳 Point being if you could get extra cards building your own force would actually be a selling point. At this point the timed force is going to kill the buzz going around about this release IMO. The ending just makes specs think you manipulated the cards and just because it allows inspection afterwards doesn’t matter the presentation is over once you show the socks.

I use the force they show at the end of the video. No problems and it works all of the time. Side note: Does anyone else find the socks hard to get on and off? I am just average size and they are extremely tight.

ccmwl..just curious, why did you feel it was necessary to try and hide the name of a "Pop Eyed Popper" deck that's been around for years?

We teach you 3 f*****. For the f**** i use in the demo, it is WAY EASIER than you think. Trust me, it works really well.

Well this effect is a very good set up for this type of f**** but it’s not 100% and depends on your ability to handle the force so not like PEP deck. There are other forces taught which are fool proof but perhaps not as startling as the one in the video. Again my point was to keep folks from being disappointed that the video performance is not a fool proof approach.

What are we talking here odds wise? Or most likely we have to rely on suspicious outs? If thats the case then this isn't for me

The video does teach you how to handle 2 situations where the f**** doesn't work. Still, I'd prefer something along the lines of a P*p Ey** P***er Deck which is foolproof.
