This is an interesting idea that theoretically has some nice potential in the right time and place. The main issue is that Dan stopped thinking WAAAAY too soon.Absolutely zero thought went into how to actually get the gimmick from your ***** to where it needs to be. I wish you could see a clip of how absolutely pathetically unnatural and not secretive Dan looks when he does it. It is this trick more than any other that makes me upset that penguin got rid of their private forums for each trick just for the people who bought it. I'm sure somebody who bought it thought of a way to do it naturally. If anyone did, please comment with a way I can reach you (you'll see I am a verified buyer). However, absent a natural way to get this into position about 5 seconds before you perform it, this trick is basically useless (besides for the few random times that a situation randomly presents itself). As it is now, this is the type of trick I would've been delighted to know and keep in the back of my mind if it had been in some $5 magic magazine that came with 8 other half decent tricks. But for $15???

One thing I will point out is that Dan Hauss does not perform for real audiences and was probably clueless about the necessity for everything, not just the moment of magic, to not give away the secret. It's a shame he thought of it, and not somebody else who would've collaborated with somebody who would come up with a good method to set up, because it does have a lot of potential...
