Too Much Guesswork Report this review

The demo is very misleading. There is too much guessing. Doesn't work every time and you often must come up with multiple outs to make it work. Do not recommend.

Thanks for the review! When I saw the trailer I thought it was going to be amazing. I was hesitant because like all of us, we have bought a ton of magic that we have regretted purchasing. My last one was “suit cut to order” by Erik Tait(what garbage that was!! I’m still angry I bought it)

Might give it 2.5 stars. No, it’s definitely not sure fire. I can use it as an opener to establish rapport with a volunteer for a bigger effect. If it doesn’t hit on the money and you have to chase an out, you’ve lowered expectations by presenting it as a “let’s see if we can get in sync” effect. Personally, there are ways to make this sure fire with a bit of creative thinking.

Might be of interest if you’re thing is improvisational Magic, but if you’re getting paid to deliver, I’d go another direction.

Guessing and estimation are two different things entirely. When you say it doesn't work every time- how many times have you performed it? I have a regular restaurant gig with very picky regulars who love to try and trip me up- and this absolutely fried them. I put in the work to learn the effect and my results are amazing.
