Magic Tricks

The adcopy on this is Ellusionist-level deceptive, first off. These pretty much have to be done via zoom, and zoom only, the effects must be done in groups of 3 and 2, and for some reason Nicolas Pierri is on here giving a testimonial even though he worked on the project?? Wtf. I can't get into the rest because I'd be exposing parts of the methods, but believe me, it's not what is being described.

The method is "shotty" (without exposing too much), which really feels like a shot in the foot for $25. Not only that, but the best effects are locked behind a method that is so laughable that I actually laughed when watching the tutorial because I thought it was an actual joke. You can imagine my disappointment when there was no punchline. Not only that, but the first 3 effects must be done for the same person, one after the other, with the same "shotty" method.

Then there's the Facebook group. In this, we were promised an impromptu version of Berglas 2.0, that didn't require the joke of a method. It took a month or so, but we finally got it. Come to find out, you still need to do the awful oil and water routine in order to get into position to even do it. So it's practically useless, because the oil and water routine is the weakest one here.

Not only that, when the Facebook group finally formed, Alejandro posted a full routine where everything was impromptu, but only ever posted the explanation for Berglas, encouraging the members of the group to figure it out on their own. And that's all good and fine, but when I spent money on the initial method and can't even use it, well, you know.

This has got to be the biggest waste of $25 I've ever spent on Penguin. And I'm extremely disappointed with how they handled everything. I will never buy another trick from Penguin without the same skepticism I give E, specifically because of this download.
