Teaching: The instructions were very clear and the pictures were perfect. If you get this effect I recommend looking up other magicians who perform this effect. I learned a lot by watching Oz's presentation and Asi Wind's as well.

Quality of materials(if it is a gimmik etc): The gimmick is well made. People ave complained that its very delicate but like I said above, if you take care of it, it won't break. Also in case you actually do break it, it shouldn't be to hard to make your own. The only things I have to say on the negative side is it's slightly thicker than most cards (about 2 cards thick), you can have the hole felt only on the front of the card (if the Spec feels the back they might feel something fishy going on), the gimmick can make a slight noise (easily covered up with background sounds though) and only comes in Blue Bicycle (not a big problem for me but I know some people who only use Red Bikes, or use Tallyhos, Bee's, etc.). It only has one angle problem which is directly behind you but with some creative crowd control thats not really a big deal.

Difficulty: It takes about 10 min to learn and a week to work out any kinks/

Applications: GREAT opener, really gets their attention. Perfect for close up magic. This could work really well at school or at an office because having a hole punch wouldn't be that uncommon.

Overall Rating: I'd give this an 8/10 I docked 2 points only because of feeling that back of the card and the possibility of it breaking.

Final Thoughts: I truly enjoy this trick and will be using it often. One thing to look out for, after performing this trick people will start asking you to move holes on everything!
