I can honestly say I will NEVER use this. Don't be decieved by the demo video. The gimmick (which
has to be made) is dodgy at best, and VERY risky. You are left dirty, and have to "clean up". It is
angle sensitive & cannot be done standing up. You literally have to "stick the landing" in order for
this trick to work.
They suggest other ways to perform this, but actually show NONE OF THE
WAYS THEY SUGGEST.
Not to mention the creator says in the tutorial, "Make sure you are in a
loud environment when you do this..." I mean COME ON!
If you are looking for something
visual that transposes to TV/video...sure.
But this is not practical AT ALL.
PASS.
PASS. PASS.
You sound like a lazy hobbyist, not a working magician. There are many astounding effects that can only be done in limited situations. Doesn't make them any less good. Just go buy Tenyo effects that do all the work for you.
Hey Slack, you have thrown two people under the bus so far for not liking this, with a name like yours why are you telling them the crap you are? You don't have to be a slacker to not like an effect. I haven't seen the work on this but I won't buy it based on these reviews, thanks guys. And also your contempt has made the decision easier as you must have some interest or motive that has to do with this company the way you bash people who don't like it. It sounds like it looks great only in one situation. I'm a worker, unlike yourself and NEVER want anything I can't do anywhere. Why? If you ask that then you aren't a magician... I don't want to make excuses why I can't do a certain trick NOW. I always put my time into any effects I get and try them to see if they live up to the hype or not. This one to me sounds like it sucks from the gitgo... just sayin' Slack. :)
There you are slackerking,....delving out jabs again at people with whom you haven't a clue about. I hang out a lot, "did I say a lot" at the Magic Castle. Whom should I be looking for, what name do you use when you perform at the Castle? I'd like to make it a point to be there next time you perform so I can watch your undoubtedly expert performance? And what do you recommend for me......nickels to dimes?
Magicray, I threw two people "under the bus" as you say because their reviews weren't a fair representation of the effect. You decided not to purchase the effect because of those reviews. Maybe you would hate the effect, made you would love it but their reviews hurt people from making an informed decision. I bought Imprint and it's beautiful. It's takes practice, and some audience management skills but if you're really a "worker" then those shouldn't be issues. And you don't need to be able to do an effect everywhere for it to be a great effect. Many effects have limitations, if you stifle yourself by those limitations you'll miss lots of beautiful effects. It's obviously not a trick for everyone but I guarantee people who put time into it will be paid off with a stunning illusion. Good useful reviews give pro's and cons, sorry if I expect something more than nonsense. For example, the gimmick is clever and well thought out. Like Extortion it will take some arts and crafts. It will take practice to get the gimmick to do what you need it to do but knacky is a requirement in many effects. It's very easy to see that this reviewer never bothered to actually create the gimmick or try it. If you had the effect you would know they hadn't done anything other than watch the video once. It's no more dodgy than say extreme burn or rainmaker or any other bill magic. Yes, if you only want effects that can be performed in any situation then this will not be for you, but it's not that limited. No I don't work for Sansminds, but I have had some great luck with their effects. I get the hesitation from the naysayers, but it's a really nice effect and if you're really a performer you'll probably like this and get a my out of it. Too many of the reviewers on here are kids pretending to be magicians, not real working pro's. And yes, their opinions are just as valid as anyone else's as long as it's clear that their just hobbyists.
Sipco, I doubt if you seriously hang out at the Castle a lot and I haven't been in a few months because I actually work for a living, but I've been a member for the last four years since I went through their classes. And I do have a clue about, it's very easy to see from reviews where people are coming from. Are those teviews useful to people, yes I suppose if someone just wants easy self working fluff then they're useful. The problem is they also stop other people from purchasing something they might truly like because they make the trick sound horrible when in fact it a pretty beautifully thought out piece of magic. If you're looking for a daily walk around effect you might be disappointed, if you're looking for a situation stunner to kill laymen with at the appropriate time then you'll live this.
O.K...where is the "follow" tab to click here at PM. Simply, you guys are funny...always "bustin" each others chops in the comments section. Hehe...I love it!
