The effect is startling and the price is moderate, so I bought it.
There are some spoken
instructions in English and a few captions, but mime works adequately overall. Parts are repetitive
and laboured though. E.g. you’ll discover when practising what the limitations to your movements
are, and the restrictions, a bit of a drawback, are not too unnatural looking.
I’m only a
little concerned that the set-up, although taking only a few seconds, would surely need to be done
in private.
The method is quite clever and looks reliable, and the arts-and-crafts looks
very straightforward. Another plus is that he alertly covers the possibility that two identical
cards will not be seen while the cards flutter down.
I’d be inclined to tweak the initial
f---e though: riffling through at speed does not look reliable to me. (Perhaps I misunderstood what
was mimed.)
This should work pretty much as well in practice as it does on the video.
Card catch: quite easy and practical
