> Double Take by Paul Richards

Decent trick, but overpriced Report this review

My title pretty much summarizes it. I bought this in the Open Box, but if I paid full price, I wouldn't be happy.

The effect is decent, but this should be a $7 download instead of a $25 effect. Yes, it comes with a low-quality DVD and deck (including the "gimmick"), but most people browsing this site would have the extra cards necessary to create this deck.

Another issue I had with the effect is that it's too "fast n' flashy." During most of the effect, you're just providing your audience with quick flashes of the cards. Yes, I understand why, but I have an issue with effects that leave the spectators feeling like "something fishy just happened." That being said, it's a neat effect, especially if you're working in a place where people are drinking ("fast n' flashy" works good with this type of crowd).

If you can grab this in the Open Box, I recommend it!
