This is an ingenious trick and extraordinarily powerful! It's also pretty easy to do. If you can
do a double lifts and breaks, you can do this. As others mentioned, the problem is that you don't
get everything you need. Without an ungimmicked sleeve, you can't let people inspect! That's
crazy! After I got it and realized the problem, I figured I already spent the money, so I bought
the ungimmicked card. $13.00 on Penguin. Whatever. It's still a great trick, but realize that
you'll probably want to spend 13 bucks more from the get go.
As someone new to magic, only
performing for friends, the other issue with the face up version is that you can't repeat the trick.
I suppose the effect is so good, one performance, letting it sink in, is fine. Still, thinking of
buying a second different gimmick.
Easily scratched. Take care and protect it.
