Demo video makes it seem like a drawn card falls off a notebook into your hands.
The
reality doesn't come close.
Gimmick is incredibly thick, with a blatant crease that they
try to hide with a thick marker line.
MAYBE you can get away with it in a small theater,
where the closest audience member is several feet away, but even that is questionable. But you'll
never fool anyone at typical card-trick distance. It'd be like trying to make someone believe a
thick fridge magnet is flush with the surface of the refrigerator.
Also, the
transformation from gimmick to card is much slower than the promo video would have you believe. The
promo video is stunning, the reality is you can see it as it transforms, and the mystery is lost.
And it's not because I haven't practiced it -- the instructional video suffers from the
same problem. I watched the video before examining the gimmick and was surprised that I was
actually able to see the gimmick do its thing. If the inventor can't make it look good in the
instructional video, there's no amount of practice that will overcome this poorly built trick.
Concept is interesting, but they need to put some R&D into the gimmick and make it actually
flat. Wait for version 2.0, see if they fix it. In the meantime, stay away.
