This is the worst thing I've ever bought Report this review

I've been a professional magician since the early 90's.

I have a huge walk-in closet that's full of magic from the floor to the ceiling. I couldn't tell you how many tricks and videos I own on the subject.

The reason I'm saying all this, is so that when I tell you that this is the worst things I have ever bought you'll understand how big a deal that is to me. I'm not doing this as a hobby.

I don't want to give away too much with this one, but the secret isn't even a secret. It's pretty much just "remember this". For $250? WOW!! And how you know who took what isn't done in some cunning way.

I also own Spectrumalist which only costs $100 and it's such a better effect than this one. And for less than half the price. Plus the method in Spectrumalist is actually a diabolical smart method. The method in this is literally just so obvious and disappointing.

This effect should have been sold as a download for $25, for that price I still would never use it, but at least I wouldn't have felt so ripped off.

Not to mention the "bonus" he gives you, where you mess with the spectator by having one nose he can't put on is awful. Watching it in the video, it just comes across as mean and humiliating for your spectator. These days laughs need to be lighthearted and nobody watching your show should be made to feel foolish or humiliated. When I'm finished a show I want everyone to feel good and if I make fun of them it'll be in a lighthearted way that isn't going to leave them feeling bad. This one to me just seems mean spirited.

Please, do yourself a favor. Save your money. Don't make the same mistake that I did. Don't buy this product. If you want a similar effect, again get Spectrumalist. Which actually has a method that can be appreciated.
