Most of the time these gaffed tricks end up in the bottom drawer, but not today.

First is the gaff worth $40. The secret alone is worth that. It really is. That is really what I paid for gaff or not. The gaff is well made and its not something the average person is going to be able to fabricate from the contents of the utility drawer or even after a visit the the craft store.

Its a professional gaff and its well made. I consider myself well stocked in the arts and crafts department, and I am not entirely sure I could make one. And if I can its only because I invested a lot more than the price of the gaff for the stock I have that may work.

I am thinking there was some custom sourcing done to construct it. So yes the gaff is worth $40.

I'll order another copy verses attempting to make one myself, but I don't think that is necessary. This thing will last the remainder of my lifetime.

Is it what you see is what you get, or was some frame cutting done on the camera angles to make it look as good as it does on the promotional video.

It is exactly as shown. There is a minor extremely minor angle issue, but nothing anyone will notice if performed properly.

Are the instructions easy to follow and are there any complex or hidden moves. The instructions are not hard to follow, but can be a little tedious since English is not Mickael Chatelain's first language, and he apologizes in advance, and at times changes course to compensate for something misstated. All in all he is very informative and provides multiple methods of performing the illusion.

I Really did not have any use for another blank deck routine in my arsenal. And my Alpha Deck, darn!

I am going to have fun with this!

Yes, you can perform it without ever repeating yourself, until you've gone through all 54 cards (including the B&W and Color Jokers).

Would appreciate someone to walk me thru set up and execution...

My brain is simply not picking this up...

Partially B/c of language,

Mostly because I’m getting old and my bars in is not working!


A step by step would be appreciated

Thx dr g friedman

Please go to the video tutorial again. I provided some clarification. I believe once you have read what I posted you'll understand exactly how this works and how to perform the basic routine. Once you have this part down, you should be able to follow the other presentation options Mickeal provides.

I found your reply/explanation at end of comments at video

Thanks for the work...

This kind of effect needs a step by step instructions clearly demonstrating every move

Add to the mix the accent ...and it’s a problem..

Very disappointing since the trick looks great..

I cannot speak for Mickeal. I do not know him or have ever reached out to him, but I encourage you to post your observations on the tutorial page. We learn by doing and I am sure he will appreciate the feedback.
