This effect is great. The only type of person who wouldn't love this effect is the type who tries to perform this only using the techniques shown in the DVD. Garrett gives an introduction to the idea, but leaves a lot of the imagination part up to you.

This idea is great. Inspired by a different gimmick created by Paul Harris, this gimmick is just so clean that it blew me away. The only real skill that you will need to perform this effect is a side steal. With that you can make a box cleanly vanish off of the cards allowing you to show the cards from literally any angle while spread or fanned. On the DVD you are taught one basic way to make the box vanish, and one way to switch out the gimmicked deck for a regular one. There are still so many effects possible with this gimmick (one of my personal creations being a card box through suitcase). With a little bit of imagination and previous knowledge, this effect kills as a full effect or an opener to another routine.

Paul Harris's box backed deck (box back design on every card) is an entirely different story and probable could have been sold separately.This effect is just plain great aswell and is a little more developed on the DVD (he shows you a little more to do with it). It's a great deal seeing as these box back gimmicks were never meant to be released and only for Paul Harris's personal use.
