Misleading Trailer and subpar effect Report this review

I've seen heavily edited trailer before, I've seen trailers showing effects that don't exist inside the product but this, I've yet to see. Rus prearranged a limited selection of a number, a counting to a card in a deck and got the most optimal scenario for the out and then presented it as if it has happened on video for the first time with a compeletely free choices of both the card and the number. Completely false and deceiving buyers. Unethical behaviour like that shouldn't get more than 1 star and that is even before we get to the methode.

The effect itself is great IF you have a participant that follows orders you don't even mention. The subtle restriction doesn't fly in the real world. I've had people on multiple occasions choose the wrong numbers, change and choose another wrong comhination and then again only to come out of the trick thinking there are only 3 possible choices and come out unimpressed.

This effect looks great on highly edited video and sounds great in written form but is not at all practical. Look elsewhere.
