Some of the reviews seem to be a bit hard on this effect due to it's seemingly impossible claim that the gimmick is almost undetectable. However, I believe this claim to be mostly true.

The fact is, this is the holy grail of card to impossible location effects. I've used this concept with a self-made gimmicked deck since I read my first beginner's magic book, but I've always had the issue of cleaning up and handing out the deck for inspection. They've completely resolved that issue. It takes only a slow and natural movement toward the spectator with the deck in your hand to ensure that the gimmick stays hidden. Most people will be able to look through the deck as many times as they want without noticing it, and on the rare occasion that someone gets close to noticing, you've got so much time to distract that I just don't see how you're going to get caught with this thing.

This is not a "practice required" effect. If you can count to 10, you can perform this effect the moment that you receive it. I literally performed it, complete with deck handout, 4 times the same day I received the package. Since then, which was about 5 days ago, I've probably performed this effect 40 times, and haven't had even a minor "scare" concerning the method being revealed.

I was a bit disappointed when I received it, but it was disappointment at the fact that I hadn't thought of this earlier. I was SO CLOSE in my current performance deck, but in one fell swoop they've resolved every single issue I've had.

This gimmick is so well done that you can go on and perform other "in your hand", or "on the table" effects with it as a convincer, or to delay a deck change. It's simply amazing, and exactly what we all hope to get out of a magic trick when we're considering it. Absolutely powerful, virtually no skill required, easily reset and repeated, and the reactions are just amazing. Buy this now.
