I like the effect. It's probably more for trade show papers, but it seems to work well with the tabloid style that I'm using.

I haven't performed it for anyone yet but have been letting my critic- the little woman- watch me practice it. She says it looks good. Now I just need to practice it about 100 more times.

Pros: Gimmick is easy to make and can be reused.
Supposedly works for all papers. Haven't tried it on full size. Easy to do, just need to practice until it becomes one smooth motion in the restore. Basically a "flash" restore.

Cons: There are some aspects of the gimmick that look obvious to me for performing it in a parlor setting which is where I'll be doing it, but I've already got some ideas to work around this. Lots of ink on the hands from practicing. :) Cannot appear to show the whole paper, but this can be acted through. Gimmick must be reused with that specific edition- not much of a problem really.

All in all I really like it. 4 stars because I've heard there are better versions, but I like this and will use it.
