When I was performing the original "packet trick" version with bridge sized cards way back in 1982 I
thought then that this would be a great effect enlarged for platform use and I was right!
The only reason I gave this "only" 4 stars is that I would prefer cardstock that is a bit less
stiff, you'll understand what I mean once you do the effect. The "too stiff" cards is by no means a
deal breaker - just takes a bit of getting used to. Doing that first move "upside down" was
interesting at first - I don't know why, but it really threw me off the first few times through.
This one is all about the patter. If you like "patter tricks" THIS IS FOR YOU. The patter
as provided is very similar to the original and I was able to use my own patter that I used way back
when with very little adaptation with the Jumbo version.
I Love this - it is FUN to perform!
