Hi Paul! Brian Platt here. Sorry to hear you feel this is overpriced garbage. I worked extremely hard on this effect with nearly a year of research and development. The result is a gimmick that can go anywhere a sharpie goes, and always set to go. I worked with top magicians from around the country on the handling which I explain in great detail. I'm sorry you feel the instruction is awful but I assure you you're in the minority on that. Everyone is welcome to their opinion and you can't please everyone. But I'm proud to say the magicians and magic reviewers I respect including Magic Orthodoxy and David Penn and Sean Heydon of Wizard Magic Review gave it rave reviews. I invite anyone who's interested to look up their well informed reviews and then make their decision on the price and quality of instruction.
