I have only received this one yesterday. I actually have to wait to perform this effect because there was a slight flaw with it so have to get a new one, but: just from playing around with it a few things have already become obvious: first of all when they say a "beautiful leather wallet" they are right, it is real leather and the wallet is very nice to look at. In fact when you open it the inside is of a slightly different color, almost pink, like roast-beef.

Everything is solid and if there hadn't been a part missing in my shippment I could have easily fixed it myself. The cards are made of plastic, so you don't have to pay a lot of money and end up with a dirty deck after a few performances. The cards are also very decent and make this trick very different from most of the magic around.

I have purchased one or two items before in this price range and this is by far the fairest price I have seen considering what you get. If I compare this with the "mind power deck" for example, you get way more here. Not that the mind power deck is necessarily not worth it's price, but here you get a lot more props and the method is even more cunning. Let's say, this one is under-priced, then.

The handling: normally one is always a little dis-illusioned after finding it how it works: no real magic again! Not so here. I got more and more excited as I went through the props, the handling, instructions in hand. AWESOME.

The easiest method to the most clever trick (an impossible one) I know so far. There are no postings in the penguin-only section at this point, I tink this should change soon.
