Not for a quiet setting Report this review

I have to disagree with the other reviewers here which is unfortunate because I really like the idea behind this. For me this doesn't work flawlessly. I've tried a few different coins, small and large, and find that they often get stuck in the gimmick, revealing the secret. To ensure this doesn't happen, I double check the bottom of the deck before turning it over; Obviously it's not as smooth as I'd like. Second, I personally found the deck awkward to manipulate when primed for the vanish. Others may not have this problem but I have yet to feel comfortable with this deck when its fully set up. Finally, I think that the occasions for using it are limited. I only do this in an environment with lots of background noise (which for me is rare). This thing talks loudly, usually more than once. In a quiet close-up setting, it's painfully obvious that something is going on. The audience likely won't know exactly what's happening but they will hear this gimmick working if the room is silent. Better for a bar or restaurant.
