I'm a fan of ESP effects and I was really hoping to love Rhine's Revenge. The problem for me is not
the price--it's the method. To successfully pull off the effect you must do a special move at the
precise moment many watchful spectators will be burning your hands. The whole effect is based upon
the assumption that you've put YOUR cards are in the same order as THEIR cards. If there needs to
be funny business or card movement it certainly shouldn't happen at EXACTLY the moment they're
watching you reveal your stack. I'm aware you can try to do "the move" during a misdirected off
beat but believe me when I say this will be impossible with certain spectators. They'll be staring
at your cards waiting for the mind-blowing reveal and you'll be absolutely stuck. Short of
screaming, "Hey! Look behind you! It's Denzel Washington!" and then doing the move, there's no way
out. Imagine a dice trick where you claim the spectator can choose a number between one and
six--and then you'll roll that exact number. This trick's solution to that effect would be, "Well,
if you don't roll the number the spectator chose, just casually pick up the die and spin it around
to the chosen number when the spectator isn't looking." What?! WHAT?! Come on, Alakazam. You're
better than this.
