So I finally had a chance to make the gimmick and got a chance to play around with this. I'm gonna be honest, when I watched the download I was a little worried.To me it didn't really seem workable and it seemed very angley. I decided to put together the gimmick and see how it actually played. It took about 5 minutes for me to make the gimmick but if you have no experience with making this type of thing it will probably be closer to 30 minutes. I practiced the "move" (gimmick does everything) and it looked super good in the mirror. I wasn't for sure if it would still be workable so I went to my mom to show because she will call me out if it's a garbage trick or looks bad. So I did it for her, and she loved it. I tried again with different objects at different parts of the day and she didn't catch anything and was impressed everytime. However, I would not recommend performing this to the same person multiple times. I played around with the handling as well and adapted it so I can hold normally and perform it. Olivier's handling works just find but I like holding it how I usually hold a deck of cards and that is an option if you are concerned about that kind of thing.
The pros of this trick would be: Very visual, can produce about anything (anything that can fit on your drawing) there is no palming, and angles are better then I thought( probably about 95 degrees).
The cons : I don't believe this can be used anytime like the ad copy says, the get ready is really short but you can't do it in front of your spectators. I can only really see this being used as an opener. The box also can't be examined before or after the change.
All in all I think this trick has a lot of good points and it's something I can see myself using especially if someone wants to just see something really quick. All in all I rate this a 4/5.
