Do NOT throw away your C***** P**** and get this!
The previous reviewer is far kinder than
I am.
The description says that you can get a workable impression through 2-3 sheets.
Minus 1 star for every sheet that was lied about.
The Stealthboard I received is barely
legible through even one sheet. Minus 2 stars because that's kind of the whole point of an imp pad.
It had ONE JOB!
The gimmick is visible on all sides from under the paper. It's down there
waving at the spectators saying, "Hey, don't mind me. I'm just a suspiciously bordered yet innocent
piece of normal paper."
Minus 1 star for not crafting the gimmick so that the white of the decal
doesn't conceal the secret.
The description says that "The immediate peek version gives you
real time access to information while you're performing." and states that you won't have to turn
your back or hide the board behind your case. The answer to this has to be one of the least
theatrically justifiable moves in mentalism as you show your progress of duplicating their drawing
in the most awkward way that I have ever seen. You are better off hiding the board to get your peek,
or even turning your back. The move recommended is even more suspicious. But since the impressions
from mine aren't legible, a quick peek at broken up words or pictures will not help much at all.
If you tell them to write very big "so everyone can see it" it might work, but good luck
getting your peek.
If you use this as pre**** you have all the time in the world to get
your peek, but good luck reading it if they write too small.
I'm back to the old C*****
P**** drawing board.
Hi "anonymous". I'm the creator and have used the Stealthboard for 15 years. It sounds like your impression material was damaged, perhaps in storage or by the Las Vegas heat. Send a note to Penguin asking them to contact me directly and I'll replace everything, no charge. Oh, and watch the different peeks presented in the online tutorial, then choose the approach that best suits your style. I've used the basic peek in hundreds of corporate shows and can assure you it's not only deceptive but very "theatrically justifiable". Cheers. Mark Zust :-)
PS - If you're going to lambast a product, at least have the courage to include your name!
LOL. This review from Anonymous is so lame. I have been using The Stealthboard even for close up and never had a problem. The gimmick is not visible at all. I guess Anonymous has much to learn regarding the handling of a clipboard.
