Ok let's talk about this effect for a moment first the props are second to none the box the props come in is a prop itself it goes right along with the 1870 feel of this product! This is the first trick I have bought that the packaging does not give away the trick it actually adds to it and it’s part of my patter. Everything is well made, the pouch is made from leather with that Genuine leather feel and smell carry it in you pocket for a few weeks and it will have the look of a passed down family heirloom. The poker chips! The poker chips are freaking awesome they are not the crappy thin plastic poker chips we played with as kids in the 1970’s.... well us old folks played with them In the 1970’s but you know the ones I am talking about. The poker chips in this set are perfect they look and feel like poker chips from the 1870’s (I am only guessing as I am old but not that old) I have been into magic since the early 1990’s and I wasn’t sure what the method was for this effect I had a guess but I was wrong and I am glad I was wrong as the actual method is...I would say cleaner. I read the other review on this effect that is posted above my review and, coming from some one who has been into magic for over 30 years this effect is NOT stupid it is actually well thought out and the quality of the props it is a value for the money it’s well worth picking up this effect! I love it, the props, the story, and the method.

Good review. Is it an easy reset? Are we seeing everything in the trailer or is there something that we aren’t aware of? Thanks!

Reset is instant. You’re not seeing everything on the ad copy but that might give away the method however it’s not misleading or deceptive in what they show. This is really fun to perform but also the equipment and poker chips are just so well made. A lot of people comment on how nice the poker chips are-
