Alright, the concept behind Evolve is amazing and is definitely usable in the real world. It's
visual, almost angle-proof, and easy to clean up. It can also be used in tons of ways. Cards, bills,
business cards, etc. In fact, I think doing a color change with a card is the least cool thing you
can do with Evolve. There are already tons of card tricks; why not use this great tool for something
else?
Now, the bad side about this is the DVD is nearly 100% arts and crafts. There are no
routines, live performances, or even performance advice given by Lawrence. For the price, this feels
like a major rip-off to me. It seems that the makers think the novelty of the gimmick justifies the
high price, but frankly, it doesn't. This should be a $10 product.
Now the gimmick itself
is not the easiest to make. You need to be able to split cards well for starters. Also, this product
only comes with enough "extra material" (6 pcs) to make one gimmick. Now come on, 6 pieces costs $3
elsewhere online... they couldn't even include extras for one more gimmick?
Its
unfortunate that this great concept was put to market in such a bad way. 3 stars for great
concept/gimmick and terrible everything else.
Evolve itself is great, this DVD not so much
