Great carry around trick. This is my second. The props do wear out, but my first lasted two years.

This is a versatile and clever little trick that is really easy to perform - and at the same time
you have more tricks than one, on your keychain. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that some of
the tricks cannot be performed in any other language than English.

Is this effect going to impress your magic buddies? Probably not. It's not designed to impress your
magic buddies. It's designed as a quick effect that will amaze your spectators or laymen if you
will. I love the fact that it is such a simple organic trick. It's designed in such a way that you
can do mentalism with it first thereby giving the spectator the ability to handle what they think is
the only prop and reinforcing the idea that everything is what it seems to be. You know one of the
most impressive effects you can do for a laymen is something as simple as making a pen disappear
using the old flip stick move. If you do any other effects wit keys or keychains this is a perfect
addition!

this is the ultimate and I carry it all the time...fast easy and is a blast to do. What do you
always have on you at least 95% of the time if not more? .. your keys.. when I get asked what I do
and mention that I do magic the reply to that is "do something" with this I am ALWAYS ready to do
something and I get great reactions from it as well.

I had this on my keychain for a few months, and never performed it once. Then, when I finally
pulled it off my keychain (again, after only a few months), the clear plastic coating on the tag was
peeling away at the corner a little bit. So... it may be worth buying if you think you'll use it,
and if you get it in the cool box.

Brilliant idea. Packs small. Easy to learn. Great reactions. DVD could have went more in depth on
handling but still easy enough to learn. Props do wear out fairly easily. Glad I got it on the
blizzard and will look to do the same when it has to be replaced. Overall very happy.

well, well, well.
The principle is very old (we magicians have understood this), and it is
really well exploited.
I would say that as a trick it is wonderfull.
But MEAN !!! You could
even put a spare Gimmick even 2, it does not cost you anything. If I damage it, I have to buy back
the makeup !!! You say you take care of it ,but the material is the same as a credit card, but
keeping it in the bunch of keys is inevitable that it is damaged in a short time.
This is a great illusion. I love having something always ready to go. However there are two things
you should know. The tag is rather brittle. This is my second purchase, so you know I love the
illusion, but after having it only a couple of months I dropped my keys and the tag for lack of a
better term shattered. A large chunk of the tag broke off leaving it useless. The other thing is
although they advertise an illusion using someone's cellphone, that part of this illusion no longer
works. This illusion has changed hands and the original website for the illusion has been lost. So
you can't have your friends look up their answer to a mindreading effect on the internet. That being
said, it's still a great little pocket trick to have on hand.
I found this trick easy to do and the audience was mystified.
In line with the previous review, I can understand why the reactions don't play so big, even though
the handling is very similar to Greg Wilson's Florida Keys (available on his "On the Spot" DVD). The
latter trick has a better presentation, because it's more interactive with the audience and has a
flashy ending.
