I've been working with this effect for several weeks now and right off the bat I had issues with the
gimmick and the case. I still, after stretching the case, am having issues with it working
consistently. Peter tried giving me advice in the forum, but I only found more people having the
same issues and being disappointed that I feel the video was very misleading. Let's recap:
PROS:
Kind of impromptu (gimmicks, case, and cards have to be on you)
Very visual and
deceiving, great reactions
CONS:
Forced card that has to be replaced each performance
You end dirty (the torn piece under the case cannot be examined without another switch)
The
gimmick is not silent when in use and does not do everything it says it can (freely moving the torn
piece in the open before melding under the case has not worked once)
I want to return but
am holding out that maybe this will start working as it seems like a great concept, and I've still
gotten good reactions without using phases of the trick that do not work as advertised.
