This is admittedly a solid stand-alone effect that hits hard, but I don't think it warrants its own
release. At its core, the effect is EXACTLY the same as Looch's "A Nod to Pocketwatch" from his
DVDs and Penguin Lecture. It merely has an added convincer of having the predictions written in
different colors. I think money would be better spent supporting the original creator of the effect
and learning the various subtleties and structure from the person who devised it in the first place.
While this may be a case of independent creation, it sadly feels like a cheap knock-off...
...2 years later
I just finished watching the tutorial and near the end Ben himself gives credit to Looch for the inspiration and he even tells us to support him and watch his effect "nod to pocketwatch".
I haven't seen Looch's effect but I don't think that a person who steals other people's work would ever give them credit. I think that Ben is really sincere and that he may be inspired by Looch but he is not a "theif"
This is 100% worth the $20.For $20 you have the info to do an amazing trick for the rest of your life. I will use this in place of Name place by Bob Casidy.This is easier, although name place gets great reactions also.
