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.
