I gave this a 3 because first and foremost mine only came with one die. You need two dice to perform the effect. And it is not easy to balance the cards even if you do it side ways. It's not really easy to do the s***l. Even tho you must adjust the box one time before using it...the die sometimes gets stuck...so I had to cut the "shelf" open just a bit more to prevent this. I hope everyone can be honest about this effect. The creator does not really detail important facts and he is a bit nackey.

I apologize for the oversight in your purchase. There should have been two dice included, and I regret that only one was shipped—this is my mistake. Murphy’s Magic is about to receive the additional dice, and they are helping to correct this error by distributing them to ensure you receive the complete set as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. We’re committed to making this right.

Regarding your other concerns, it is a great effect and usually gets amazing reactions. To balance the card, I do mention the surfaces, and I perform with the very same cards without balancing issues.

If you can clarify what you mean or require any additional help regarding the parts you are struggling with, I will ensure a new video is made on the product page to cover the additional help required.

Best wishes,

Joel

Hi, Joel! I just ordered this effect as well from Penguin and received it yesterday. Mine only came with one die as well. How can we rectify this situation? Please let me know. Thank you very much! Sincerely, Frank

I also emailed customer service at Penguin and let them know about the missing die from the package I received. Brent replied and asked me to send a picture showing everything that I received in the package containing “The Experiment.” I did that and also included a picture of my order number on the invoice. Haven’t gotten a reply yet.

Hello Joel, first of all, congratulations on the Experiment. I am a regular follower of your effects, and this one is great. A very simple and creative game, with a powerful magical effect. Having said that, I must regret, like other consumers, how discouraging it has been to receive only 1 die. It seems to be a common problem for everyone. And I have not been able to find an identical die. How can this matter be repaired? My Penguin order number is 20240705052117. Thank you very much and I hope that this beautiful effect can be practiced by those of us who trust in this purchase. Greetings.

Chris Hanwell from Penguin responded and kindly solved the problem by sending me the missing die.

The trick works well with practice, but it is not infallible, but when it works, it is truly incredible, and people cannot explain how teleportation was achieved. Even for a magician it is not simple to solve it.

The truth is that the implements, if they were a little larger and heavier, would give greater stability to the execution, to eliminate all risk of imbalance, and this would make the trick much easier and ensure it 100% of the time.

Joel Dickinson, let me tell you that I would gladly pay a lot more for a version 2.0. Please Joel consider it.

The trick, it's so visually simple and minimalist, and absolutely deceptive. Really excellent, and great idea. With better implements it would become, pardon the arrogance, The Trick of the Year 2024.

Congratulations Joel Dickinson. And please think about the possibility of a version 2.0, 100% foolproof, even more expensive, because the idea is brilliant.
