I've already posted a review but this needs to be said(because the forum for this is not up yet): I
am an amateur/semi-pro magician who performs "real" shows part-time for the past 10 years. I have so
far performed this infront of several small groups of 3 to 7 people and have NOT got caught with
this. If you are getting caught then you are doing this wrong and need to work on your presentation
skills and overall card magic.
My recommendations:
1) Not a stand alone "trick" - this
is strongest as part of a whole. Add this to your already existing ACR routine.
2) Play with
this a lot before you perform!!! You need to know how to use the angles and lighting around you to
your advantage before "showing this to friends"
3) If you suck at card magic - then this is not
for you. There is skill involved with this. I would rate this at the intermediate level because of
the skill required to clean up or add the gaff to a borrowed deck.
4) On one half of the gimmick
- use double stick tape instead of the glue. This will be less messy. Reserve the glue for that one
spot on the other side of the gimmick.
The only thing self working with this effect is the
actual reveal that you see in the demo video. Everything it takes to get to that point and
everything afterwards takes skill or practice. Real performers can work around and improve on any
inadequacies.
Trust me
