Magic Tricks

I signed back onto Penguin to order Identity for a friend, and as I scrolled down, it seems everyone has given it one star for a couple of really stupid reason. I have performed the effect way over 30 times since it was released, and only ONCE did I ever get caught, or have someone figure out the method. When they figured Identity out, it was because I was performing the Identity Extended, where you have the mark jump from card to card. After that, I went home and made the Maxed Out version. THIS is the routine that no one can figure out how it's done. I even went to my local magic store, and performed the effect for him. He had never seen the effect, and when I was finished, his jaw was on the floor, and he told me he hasn't be fooled by a card effect in YEARS.

What I think people don't understand that it's not the effect's fault, but the performer's fault for failing the effect. Sorry to sound harsh, but this effect, like all others need a fair amount of practice. Use the Maxed Out version, and it makes everything so much stronger.

So to all the people who are reading all these negative reviews, take into consideration that this effect DOES still need practice. Practice, practice and practice, which is what I have done, and I haven't been caught ONCE except for when I did the extended version. This effect is very powerful, so if you're willing to practice the effect, you'll love it even more once you perform it for someone and then they literally FREAK OUT.

So, in closing you really should pick up this effect and be the judge yourself. This isn't a self working trick, but after about a week of practicing the effect for maybe 45mins to 60mins a day, then you will be ready to show this bad arse effect to real, lay audiences, and like I said, they will FLIP OUT at the end.
