> Scar Tissue by Seth Race

Excellent idea, underwhelming execution Report this review

Picked this up in Open Box for a reasonable price. The idea is sound and the gimmick very nearly works. It's just that some of the impressions are much weaker and less clear than others. If anyone chooses a Jack, for example, expect a confused and underwhelmed reaction. It's not a clear J (having it appear as a capital letter would have been much clearer). This should have been addressed at prototype stage. Why not remove the clip on the cap, thereby freeing up more space? Nobody notices a clip (I think Jon Allen removed the clip on his Flexion gimmick).

The tutorial is a bit poor. The routines are ok and Seth tries his best, but what is really required is an in-depth look at handling the gimmick up front. Instead, handling is addressed in a fairly garbled, piecemeal fashion throughout the download. Nick or Erik would have done a much more thorough job. Maybe they could be roped in to cover some of the handling issues in a further download?
