I thought I was buying the gimmick itself, or the ability to perform the illusion out of the box.
What I got were some instructions, the need for me to provide expensive materials that are destroyed
if you make a mistake constructing Gone Deck.
The video teaching the construction was not as
thorough in some of the critical places as it needed to be, thus wasting some of the work and
materials I had already created in the construction of the Gone Deck. Shin Lim has obviously crafted
a number of these before, and is good at making it on the video. I'm not so good at it. I took two
or three swipes at it, ran out of materials and nowhere did my best construction come anywhere close
to working the way his does, or even how it is supposed to work, or looking like the one that was
constructed in the video. Furthermore, using glue that permanently sets makes many of the mistakes
that might happen require a complete "re-do" requiring more of the materials.
It would have
helped if they provided the materials to make three and already had one of the more difficult tasks
done for you (I'd be more specific, but I want to honor the secrecy). Finally the tension of a
particular step is variable, and, despite following the instructions exactly, there wasn't enough
tension prior to me permanently gluing it to make it work.
