Magic Tricks

I'm always curious about new stuff that seems good. While both the trick and the explanation are good and very clear, this trick just isn't for me. The need to use something extra – that I won't use with other tricks – makes it unpractical for me. My pocket space is limited, and I always try to fill them up with stuff that can be used for several effects. While I from time to time do bring a long gimmicks for single effects, it is something that happens very rarely.

To get to know a code (or any other number combination) from the spectator, I've previously used, and still use, impression pads and center tear. This works great for me, as I especially use the impression pad for several other tricks, as well.

I've now purchased both Codino and Code Breaker (by Michael Murray and Gregory Wilson), and when comparing, I have to say that I prefer Code Breaker. The reason for this, is that Code Breaker uses something both my spectators and I already are carrying with us. This eliminates the need to carry something extra to perform it.

However, despite that these tricks are good, and contributes with something new, I still feel that a good center tear or impression pads are cleaner, and will continue to use them in the future.
