So I am not one to purchase a lot of other peoples magic, so when I do I think my opinion should
count for something. I just got done watching this and here are my thoughts:
This is a
really good idea that could be thought out more.
The gimmick is a arts and craft project and if
you are not accustom to that, you are going to give up easily, but if you like a project, keep
reading.
The way the gimmick is rung in and out is less than desirable and should of been
thought out better, You are left really dirty in the beginning and the end. But like I said if this
was given just a little more thought this could be a killer effect all the way thru.
Now lets
actually talk about the effect. I have never ever liked the buttery smooth entrance a pen or bill or
card makes into another object, it does not look real, it looks fake. He says in the download and
the actual product description that the "idea of a pen thru bill has been around a while (ummm John
Cornelius) but not much has been done to evolve it" I think there is a reason for that, I mean how
many of us remember when John pushed that *** pen thru that bill and you could hear the rip and SEE
the actual frays of the bill where the hole was? I bought one instantly from John. There is a reason
it has not been improved , because so far no one has ever been able to come up with a version that
can beat johns, john just took it to that next level. And yes john used a gimmick pen, but it was
self contained and it was easily switched when they were crawling around that bill looking for the
evidence for the hole. With Hole-istic, as presented on the download, there is no justification to
go back into your pocket, or anywhere else to ditch what you need to ditch.
My final
thoughts are this.
I believe that with a little more thought and knowledge this could of been a
hit, unfortunately with where it stands now even at $9.95 it is not worth your time and money for a
method that is sub par at best.
