Magic Tricks

I got this few days ago. I liked the method, which is very direct and bold. I've performed it a half a dozen times and intend to keep working on it because I think it is a good piece of magic that has potential to be very entertaining.

And now for the "buts"...

But, the sleight he uses is beautiful but not well enough explained, nor does it do enough work to justify the work required to learn it IMHO. I'll call the spade a spade...it's knacky at best and a knucklebuster at worst. Happily, he DID provide an alternative that is viable (and which I used). If you can't do his sleight, it is not really a big deal.

But, I performed in bright daylight for students and colleagues (teachers). It got decent reactions (what??how did??...)but not "we're in a bar and we are hammered" reactions. I frankly wasn't expecting that level of reaction but just be aware that the effect is good,,but not opener or closer good. I wasn't sold on the reactions in the video, just ask youself if you like the magic, and then go and perform it.

But,I found that with a kicker the mental grinding of the spectators was almost audible. The kicker I used was an all joker deck. This does make it more of a standalone but I found it useful. A blank face deck would be good too.

All in all, the trick is worth it. Well done Think! And thank you.
