Who says a visual puzzle can't be an amazing trick? Mimic is a visual card effect that can be performed beyond language barriers.

The premise is simple. Tear any pips off any card, restructure its molecules, and visually turn that little corner into a full-size card that you desire, IN YOUR SPECTATOR'S HAND.

It's visual, it's illogical, and it fools people so bad, it makes them cry for help!

Mimic comes with a professionally manufactured gimmick that will last you a lifetime. Fool them now, worldwide.

DIAMOND in the ROUGH Report this review

Wizard Review was right. 9 out of 10.

I waited and waited. Someone reviewed it as dishonest and I left this trick in the dust. But, I kept looking back at the trailer. Like I was missing an opportunity with a true love. Boy, was I right to listen to myself. If anyone cares I will do a full live performance. As that seems to be the biggest complaint for the effect.

I worked out ALL the kinks with a mere 18 hours whilst destroying 3 decks of cards during my QUARoutines sesh due to Covid 19. Replaced an unnecessary gaff with sleight of hand, and presto this effect became a workable reality!

I have a trick to get into the set up, a moment of relaxation to bring in the cards, and sleights for 100% clean up.

The skill level does go from 1-5 to a 4-5.

This effect is, as a speed demon once said - SUPREME PLUS ULTRA!

If you have 3 sets with 3 tricks in each. I would use this as Set 3 trick 2. It's strong and leaves the deck clean for a finale effect.

The biggest problem with this dvd is the tutorial. Jason shows a kid friendly version to perform this effect. The true HANDLING of this effect, I believe was kept secret. But the core SECRET is indeed revealed. So small gripes.

FOR LAYMAN THIS ()
10 Showmanship - (Will Entertain them)
10 Deception -(Will fool them with proper execution)

FOR MAGICIAN'S A ()
10 Creativity - (Unique plot with corner for tv or live)

9 Original - (Torn corner Penetrates and transforms)
10 Novel - (Effect they've never seen before)

FOR WORKERS
6 - Tutorial (Hid true handling as trailer had different force)

9 - Practicality Cards must be prepared but very workable.


7 Speed - (Concise delivery, Concise video, concise effect, poor tutorial on getting in and out of effect, which I handled myself, which took time away from me.)

10 Quality prop - (Product will last it's plastic)

8 Cost - (Tutorial could've been better for price paid but prop is the same price as Calen's - Method 01)

Tally = 89 points

Please like if this review in any helped you, it encourages me to due reviews as I hate spending the time. But just felt this gem needed a polish.

OK trick with typical edits to fool the purchaser Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 14th, 2019
So, I'm sure many folks have been waiting for someone else to buy this SansMinds release and review it before purchasing it themselves. I made the leap and can tell you that, like many of their prior products, there was some convenient editing performed to fool us, the magic consumers, into thinking things can be accomplished that can't. Now, does that mean I think the trick is no good? No. It is decent enough...but there are angle restrictions and, as mentioned above, there are things that can't be done that the video demo disguises. I would have rated it higher had SansMinds not been weasels, once again, as they've done so many times in the past. Also, there is a bunch of arts and crafts, and the so-called "gimmick" is not a gimmick at all, but more of a tool, or template, that you use to make your own gimmick. So that is also a bit misleading in the description. All in all, a decent trick with false pretenses. I'd suggest you think about ways in which you could accomplish a similar effect, and go make it yourself! Maybe that would help some of you think outside the box and start to develop your own twists on tricks you like, or become magic inventors.

really difficult instructions Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 9th, 2019
the trick is clever and gets a big response. however getting the DVD to play was so hard. it would not play in any computer I have or friends had. I had to take and have it digitized to be able to play the instructions. This took 3 days just to watch how to make it and execute it. no trick should be this difficult. it would be better to just allow us to download it like your other tricks. I would not recommend it for this reason. this is not the 1st time this has happened and going forward I will not buy anything that I can't download - it's just not worth the time
