Okay, first let me say that is by far the best made gimmick I have ever received with a trick. I am
sort of surprised it doesn't cost more than $80. That is the good news. The bad follows. I had to
watch two online training videos that ran for an hour and 1 1/4 hour each. Not one of them showed an
actual performance of the trick!!! The videos showed separate stages of the trick, but never tied
them together or showed the entire routine done in front of someone. To do this trick you have to
perform quite a bit of slight of hand, as well as assemble some fairly precise components for it to
work properly. The audio was terrible in the videos. The music was louder than the vocal and it was
hard to adequately hear what was being taught. Mr. Lindenfeld should have had a manicure before
allowing his hands to be filmed in close-up. Their rough appearance was distracting. Another thing
that was not covered was whether or not the special gimmick could be used in a CARD BOX to perform
the routine with a coin or paper currency. He only discussed using those two objects in a FLIP TOP
cigarette box. Using a cig box is not as easy as using a card box and I expect would not work as
well considering all the extra preparation it requires. Only certain coins will work properly. It is
best if they can hold a magnet and are the size of a quarter. The paper currency to use cannot be
much larger than U.S.A. bills either. There were no indexes or chapters on the training videos which
makes it much harder to find the sections you want to view over. Bottom line, until I can figure out
how to use this in a routine I doubt I will use it. The gimmick is an amazing piece of craftsmanship
(he likens it to a mechanism in a firearm), but he completely avoided showing me how to use it in a
real time, unedited performance. And as I said before, regardless of which routine you use (coin,
card or bill) there is a lot of slight of hand involved to make special components disappear so you
end up clean. The boxes can not be examined though, no matter how you do it.
This is a real Puzzler!
