Great routine, poor video venue! Report this review

Firstly, this is a great rethinking of an older idea, reframed entirely. I will use this, a lot. Perfect little gambling piece, you can present it as influence, chance, a prediction. Seriously, It's 8 normal envelopes and whatever you want to put in them - go wild. You could even use business cards.

BUT - who thought presenting the video, using BLACK ENVELOPES on a BLACK TABLE, in a BLACK BOOTH was a great idea?!?! WOW. They deserve a spanking and the video deserves a reshoot.

In short, great routine/poor directing.

Could you help confirm if the selection by the audience is actually done 2 envelopes at a time (as this seems to be the case in the video)?

I can confirm that the spectator is given a free choice between two envelopes each time, for the first three times. The last choice between two envelopes only “appears” to be a free choice. Can’t say anything more without revealing the method.

Thanks for your feedback. Fully understand your comment about the last choice ;-)

Is this done the same way as Paul Gordon’s ( head to head poker) ? Because Paul’s head to head poker could achieve the same results. I own head to head poker so if it’s done the same way I don’t want to waste money on this, however if is not the same method I would purchase this immediately! Hope you can help me out here. Thanks!

Johnnyhatter, it's not very far away from Paul's Head to Head.

YES...the black envelopes on a black on a black surface...sheer stupidity but a
great Bank Night routine on steroids.
