Hi. This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.

Stranger's Gallery is a fantastic effect, and though it's retired from my Absolute Arsenal of magic, it has been a part of that arsenal for years.

I love the effect, and with a lot of practice and good performance, this trick has the ability to look like a real miracle. This was one of the first effects I've purchased as a teen, and I spent years amazing audiences with it. It's that good.

This trick does take what I'd say a considerable amount of practice and performance to make look good. This is not a self-worker in any way. Perhaps of all the packet-like tricks I've ever done, this may well have been one of the most difficult to perform. It's not that the moves needed are all that difficult, but you will have to find a way to meld it's moves into your style in a way where everything looks motivated and legit. It's not a "clean" trick either, so proper audience management is essential.

With practice though, this effect is stunning! My only complaint is that I wish that one of the color changes (the black one) was replaced by a more visible color, like green for instance. Most of my audiences over the years have had difficulty really appreciating the black color change because its so hard to see (from blue). The other changes are stunning, however, and the kicker ending is awesome!

Definitely worth a purchase!
