His presentation really sucked I mean really bad. His horrible presentation aside, I didn't really like the new handling because if you were placing items in a envelope you wouldn't have it that close to you. Tommy Wonder made it look real and that's how it would look if you were placing items in. I'll stick with the Tommy Wonder handling. Maybe some will like this, but it's just not for me and the price is extremely high considering this all could be made on the cheap.

I know someone who has the Tommy Wonder version and paid $1200 for the privilege and it looks terrible when he does it. As it turns out, the reason Tommy Wonder made it look so great was that he practiced it to make it look great. In someone else's hands, it doesn't look nearly as good because Tommy's hookup has it's own challenges. It was not perfect either.

If you bought this because you saw Jack's performance and Andy Gladwin's performance in the video, you saw exactly what it is going to look like and you didn't seem to have a problem then. There is no camera trickery. They did not cut away at a critical moment. Also, if you know how Tommy did it, you can do the ditch similarly to him which would give you more freedom of movement when you put the money and the watch in the envelope. The bottom line is that to make Tommy's look good and to make this one look good requires the same thing, PRACTICE.
