Natural Lottery was a big let down. I expected a better effect, including a real lottery ticket. Number card is decent for stage (may be an issue if members of the audience want to examine the card). Holy Sh*t is a good effect, but is dependent on gimmick cards and a gimmick wallet, but at the end you are clean. Big Survivor is too obvious (to at least magicians), but may play well to lay audiences. The continual use of the gimmick bag may make this prone to exposure to the participants on stage, who will later talk to others and potentially expose the secret. On stage, you can get away with a lot of gimmicks because no one is going to get the chance to examine them. It's more difficult to pull this off at a corporate function and next to impossible for friends. Unfortunately, there isn't even one effect that I will use because of the drawbacks delineated above. Ultimate Oil and Water is not explained (performance only). For the price, I don'think you get your money's worth.
