No force (Really can be any card)
You have control over when the card begins to rise, how
fast or how slow it rises (Although it isn't hard to accidentally activate, but it doesn't really
matter if you do)
Gimmick blends in well as long as the deck isn't perfectly square, Keep
it messy or just hold the deck slanted downward. (Basically, you don't want the spectator seeing the
edges with a nicely squared deck)
Can be performed after about an or less hour of practice
All the negatives about this effect can be easily overcome with minimal handling, great
effect to add. Purchase now!

The mechanism is too delicate to be practical in the real world of performance.It needs to be made
stronger by using more rigid components.

I know this is a good trick and there are many positive reviews online. I agree that the method is
very, very clever and superior to other rising card methods.
However, I have to give it
only 3 stars because as I was going through the tutorial the gimmick came undone with no obvious way
to fix it. I realize they promised that later in the tutorial they teach how to reset the whole
operation, so I'm sure I'll be up and running at some point. But a prop should not come undone
during the tutorial, no matter how clever and innovative the actual method is.
Method = 5
stars; Build quality = 1 star, thus, 3 stars overall. Perhaps once I learn how to fix it and get
more experience with it everything will be wonderful. But it's hard to get past the fact that the
gimmick came apart so quickly. I have been doing magic for three decades and I'm not a klutz with
props.

If Penguin will allow me, I want to revise my earlier 3 star rating. That was based upon the fact
that the gimmick came apart during the tutorial, which as I said, should not have happened. I went
to the end of the online instruction which shows how to fix things and realized what happened. Now I
have it set up and it is working fine. I've been using if for over an hour, with dozens of
practices, and It seems very stable and I don't anticipate any other problems with it. In the
previous review, I said the method was a 5 and the build quality was a 1. I'd like to change that to
a build quality of 4, and of course keep the method at 5 - it's a VERY good method.
With
that said, this is a very practical card rise. I've used three other rising card methods over the
years and this one is the best. I will be using this in both stand up and walk around situations.

First of all, I'm usually a Penguin shopper...But this time,I bought this in Theory11..This product
gives you one handcrafted gimmick and extra supplies.The extra supplies are high quality.But... if
you play with this a lot...You with have to replace it.Because I'm one of the people who plays with
the gimmick a lot,I have to replace it in few weeks.This refil is very easy to find in the penguin
magic. Also,one of the main problem is that,you couldn't have the spectator put the card in the
deck...And there is some problems with putting the card inside the deck.. The download quality is
amazing and the gimmick quality is very good like other Theory11 gimmicks. Also,the gimmick has
some cool features . You will not get WTF reactions.....But you will get some Dude...that is sick as
he11 reactions.
Reccomended for card people.

With proper care this should last a very long time. Maintenance will be required after so many uses,
but plenty of that special something is included for that. It takes up very little room compared to
other rising card gimmicks, Is only about the size of 3 or 4 cards thick. This thing is awesome!!
You get about a 25 minute video with Blake Vogt showing a couple of ways to use it and how to
maintain it. This is one of the few rising cards that can also shoot the card out when holding the
deck vertically & horizontally. Gimmick can be customized to desired tension & is easy to maintain
when needed. I rarely write reviews but this product is great! Easily my favorite rising card of all
I’ve tried. Trust me this is money well spent if rising card is something you like having in your
repertoire. It takes up no space in your regular deck and is super easy to use. Highest
recommendation!!

Great, simple & practical rising card.
I reccomend you watch the whole tutorial, as he teaches
many subtleties and details of different ways you can perform it.

Holy crap this trick is great. It kills when you rise the card in the spectators hands. This gets
some of the best reactions out of all the stuff I do. Some really great work from Eoin O'Hare. I've
been carrying this thing around everywhere ever since I bought it.
