The instructions wee awful: hard to follow. Complicated routine to remember. I would not recommend
this.

Just received this and went thru the video's. It is easy to do, and yes there are 2 minor sleights
that are addressed in both video's with differing techniques which is nice. I found the Joel's
instructions good although he glossed over an important fact in the performing of displacing cards
which on the second video Andy covers very well.
I will say this is not a new concept at all,
in fact I do a very similar routine which I have been doing for sometime now. Not exactly the same
but very similar in workings. I will perform this, probably tonite at the local pub and see what
reactions I get.

1st Effect
instaCAAN by Joel Dickenson
https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/14418
Joel's a outstanding performer creator & innovator
I did find the procedures for
instaCAAN
Way over the top way too involved and complex (but I'm sure there will be those who
will appreciate his approach and methodology for the effect)
I'm thankful because it gave
me the incentive to come up with my own 3 solutions and methods - which I did using similar
elements already involved within the original it's not a New concept but it's a new way to look at
things
I will be using my own method
With that said
2nd Effect
There
are two absolute killer effects on the market released by penguin that everyone should check out
✔️
PRESENCE - Ghost CAAN by Joseph B.
https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/13871
3rd
Effect
✔️
ZERO by Joseph B
https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/13807
As they both incorporate kicker blank endings
The ingenious method keeps magicians and
spectators from backtracking the procedures and methods
LJB
Is a master at conceiving &
crafting beautifully constructed card effects
I have almost everything he has put out on penguin
He is one of Magic's best kept secrets but that won't be for long
So I suggest if you want
some amazing material in your repertoire to check out all his stuff
everything he creates is
absolutely amazing !

To paraphrase Einstein
simple not simpler
An honest review first of all I have other effects that Joel has put out on the magic market which
are cleverly devised and conceived I have much respect for his work as he is a amazing innovator
creator and performer
When I first viewed instacon Insta CAAN demo
I rolled the possible
solutions of methodology around my mind and came up with a solution but I ordered it anyway out of
curiosity
On finally viewing the effect's disclosed
Method I found the procedures way
too complex - Ironically he does mention the method I had in mind I thought to myself why in the
world wouldn't that suffice? as it is a simpler approach with the same effect ?
It's a matter
of opinion they are others who will totally enjoy the two distinct methodologies one percented by
Joel & and the other by another magician
Another thing is there are no performances presented
other than the promo demo ?
What in the world is that?
I was attracted to the concept
As
the effect itself resonates with me
Stylistically and conceptually!
If this is a type of
trick you would like to blow minds with by all means check it out and all of Joel's other projects
out on the magic market !
Instructions are horrible. Can't believe I
paid $30 for a blank face deck. Worst purchase
I've made in many years.
