BAD PARTS
Well lets just say there is a reason he has no performance video of the trick and just random quotes as the advertisement (anyone who has been into magic for more than 2 months will be able to detect whats going on.) I had an audience member guess the method exactly after a show once. The dvd is kinda sloppy and not well made. It didn't even work on my dvd player I had to watch it on my computer. This pad is WAY overpriced, you would be able to do the same thing with a note pad from wal-mart once you know the secret. I'm a Banachek fan just as much as the next guy but this is mostly way overpriced and the secret will disappoint you. I was hoping for some cool gimmick like Psypher or something...not the case.


GOOD PARTS
The pad itself is sleek and nice looking, like a businessman would carry at an airport or something (for whatever thats worth). In the instruction video he makes a fine point about how to reveal the prediction that is really cool actually and makes it like you are revealing it thought by thought.

All in all it is way over priced and I'm being nice. The trick CAN be good and HAS potential with a good imagination. but the secret will disappoint you I can't personally recommend it.

There's a reason your spectator busted you, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the prop itself.

You need to see his lecture because obviously you don't know what you are doing with it.

"I was hoping for some cool gimmick like Psypher or something"

What is a "cool gimmick" and why is it important to you?
Your audience will never know the difference.
The "coolness" of a gimmick has nothing to do with the actual effect.
