This gimmick is far from original, but the ideas on using it are wonderful. The new ideas with this
gimmick are incredible . . . but as is, this is one of those that looks best on video or stage.
Still, my objections can be overcome.
1) The gimmick is bulky, but it alone is not a huge
issue. Some trimming can be done to make it a bit thinner, along with basic card handling and
mis-direction.
2) The gimmick supplied has glue that leaked on the edges of the card. You
can't see the glue when the gimmick is brand new, but the glue picks up dirt fast, and makes a very
visible line in the otherwise clean deck. Thankfully you can hand-assemble new gimmicks where this
doesn't happen.
All in all, if you make your own gimmick carefully, this can be a lot
of fun. My 3 stars is because the gimmick provided SHOULD have been designed a little better (which
would mean more work per gimmick) for the price, and instructions on how to make the improvements
should have been there.
As for not having verbal instructions, I think they did a wonderful
job of demonstrating it, and these were not needed by me.
This gimmick is easy to use -
assuming you have basic card handling skills.
