There aren't a lot of products where, after buying them, I think, "man, I wish I thought of that," but this is definitely one of them! I've actually thought about doing something similar using a whiteboard, but never could figure out the best control method, but Alan Rorrison was able to figure out a solution. This probably could have been available as a digital download (for most magicians), but the material that's provided gives you more than enough of the basic materials you need to get started. The amount of material provided makes this a great value for the money.

Additionally, I'd like to commend Sans mind on their summary image (I think it's very brief at the end of the promo video). I'd say the skill level is pretty accurate. Audience management is subject to the experience of the performer, but is pretty accurate for the average magician; the performance angle, of course, is dependent on the audience management. Magicians experienced in audience management might be able to get away with a bit more than 180 degrees.

Here today and a chance that it can be gone tomorrow magic trick downloads are no where near as good as a dvd's. That's a fact.

And why do you say that? Do they not contain the same info?

@Thokus...simply, your comment makes no sense.
The 'container'of the information, whether it be DVD, mp4, avi...etc. has no bearing on the quality of the aforementioned information included. Who cares what the delivery method is?
However, I do have some 'crap' DVD's that you can have!

@jkill and MagicYoda. If I say something is a fact then that's what it is. You guys are late to the Thokus is a extreme intelligent guy party! I seen some downloads that don't exist anymore. Dvd's are physical that last forever. I will receive my DVD through the mail like a gift and will open it open like a gift. I will have my magic in hand like a gift. Which I cannot do with a digital download. I can watch my dvd on my big screen TV with all the entertainment features to make my watching experience so much better (i.e. surround sound, HD newest technology TV big screen). And the comfort of have the ease of navigation through the DVD menus and and formats like start stop rewind, DVD links and all that good stuff for DVD navigation that a download has Absolutely none of that. A download is mainly only one long video. Unless is a separate Internet non download magic video which you might have more navigation features to assist in viewing the video but it still can't compare to a dvd.

The description does not mention about whether the phone can be checked before or after the trick. Can the spectator check it (maybe with some simple clean-up or before some simple add-on)?

Does anyone own a Sansmind trick that is actually good. I've had nothing but bad luck with their products....usually their performances are heavily edited. All my Sansminds products are in the magic junk drawer.

Not to sound negative or anything but it sounds like you are trolling Papos562. Because all one would have to do is type in SansMinds on the penguin site and you will see all the sansminds products and then you will be able to see all of their products that have 4 or more stars and full reviews on products and I can say that their products with 4 or more stars are pretty accurately rated. Chapswitch by them is a 4 star or more trick as well.

@Thokus,
You had better become more current with respect to technology because you're soon going to have to store your DVD collection right next to your VHS collection...but you'll have a 'physical' copy. Incredible!
However, I'll grant you this...you've got that blathering gibberish part nailed.
Another point, you make me laugh and shake my head...
Again, incredible!

@JustStuff2009, you the one doing the gibberish because I'm not going to have to store my dvd's anywhere. If you could see the future (which you are making it seem like) then you would not be saying stupid things on a magic site! Or shall I say you are not saying Just-some-stuff but some Dumb-Stuff. Lol!

Psst...not the future Einstein. No one, with any tech savvy, buys DVD's anymore.
Yep, blathering gibberish...de de dee
Anyway, post your ingenious reply...then, we'll move on.

Just stop, stop it. You went from seeing the future to speaking for millions of people and reading their minds by saying "no one". Do you think people are worried about where to put their precious metals or priceless art. Was the head Knights who lived lavishly thinking about where to put there perks and earnings? No! Go ahead and continue living in your closet with all your tech!

Yall Herd pack can nit pick my each and every word (I wrote a lot so yall got plenty to work with) and analogies I said all you want. And make fun of the way I write but there is no denying that I have some dvd's that I will consider priceless in their physical form, like some lost preforming arts that are entertainer secrets. And there was someone who wrote a review on a product the other day saying they got cheated out of a digital video. I have lost money from not being able to view videos.

Dvds break, scratch or get lost... downloads stay on this site even if ur computer crashes its still avalible to u... u can also log on some1 elses computer anywhere in the world and have access to them... wanna watch it on a tv? Then burn it... they contain the same info... dvd and cases are also added costs to the product.... yes, i agree, recieving the dvd in the mail is a treat but u also have to wait days, sometimes week to finally get it... having the orignal package and dvd is really the only upside to dvd verses download and personally, i think both shld be given to u when purchasing them

All downloads are on the unsecure Internet! Those instant ones are not bad. And the idea of receiving and dvd and download with every purchase isa good idea but not logical. Only if it was like having a gold or silver or platinum package to buy a trick. Like silver would be just to buy the DVD and gold would be to buy the DVD and for a couple of dollars more you get the download with it. And the platinum package would be to get the DVD, download and full made up gimmicks if needed ready for performance. Oh, and I don't mind waiting for the trick in the mail it just gives time to visualize and plan things or something like that.

Can we talk about the product please? @Kennethmak had a good question. Can the phone be checked before or after the trick?

MagcYoda said, "Who cares what the delivery method is?"

I DO!

I have a flaky weak Wi-Fi as my only internet connection. It is impossible for me to watch online "instant download" videos. More like instant disappointment. I will never pay money for any effect that doesn't have real, tangible instructions.
