Great Potential, But... Report this review

AS book test go, this has great potential. The trailer is slightly misleading, as it doesn't emphasize the major method taught, inserting a playing card into the book to "bookmark" the page. However, the DVD is thorough and all aspects/handling are taught in detail. Be forewarned, this will require practice and making/handling a gimmick. It is not self-working or, in my opinion, for the beginner. It is an effect that is going to take some practice, both in handling the gimmick and the participants. Don't expect to simply watch the DVD and start performing it. Even skilled mentalists/magicians will require practice to find which method and effect they are most comfortable performing. Properly done, it can be a stunner. Valentine is obviously a master at performing it. If your comfortable handling/switching billets and have the necessary boldness to control the participants, your audience will be astounded. The effect can be significantly enhanced using a gimmick wallet, almost any loadable or Himber wallet will do. I took off one star because the trailer is slightly misleading.
