Not since TWISTED SISTER, NFW, ULTIMATE 3 CARD MONTE, has there been a card routine this powerful!
That's from the ad copy, and it's a load of crap! First of all, Twisted Sister... c'mon. Do
you guys really think this effect is as good as Twisted Sister?! No way. This effect is way
overratted. It's not bad, but not as amazing as the ad copy would lead you to believe.
With
the package you get 5 gimmicked cards a paper clip and a relatively decent little booklet of
instructions. The suggested handling for the routine is a bit awkward and the instructions leave out
a couple of things such that if you follow them to the letter, you'll actually miss a couple of
parts of the routine.
It didn't take much to figure out what they left out, but it was
still a bit annoying. Also, they did have a cool idea... the booklet came with a username and
password for a website that had a video explanation posted. That is a really cool idea. Too bad it's
only an idea... I went to the website all excited to log on and watch the teaching video, and the
site is non-existent. True bummer.
The cards are well made and look nice. Although one of
the gimmicked cards was, according to the instructions, constructed a certain way to allow for a
particular part of the routine to work a certain way. However, the gimmick falls short of its
claim... much like just about every aspect of this product... the hype of it's impact, the dead
website and the gimmick construction...
I did learn a cool little "trick" or "stunt" that I
was previously unaware of, so for that, it was at least worth my time to read it. Overall, unless
you're really hurting for a packet trick using 5 gimmicked cards and a paperclip, I'd pass on this
one . . . Rubble.
