This is a very visual in your face effect. The video is ok as far as quality goes but you will have
some DIY to do but it is not hard at all. I gave it a four because the one that I received is
incomplete and I have to send it back. Be careful that yours is complete when you get it. Other than
that this is a very nice amd easy effect.
Dear my customer,\r\nMy name is Duy Thanh, from Smagic Productions,\r\nAnd i really want to know that what was missing from your DVD box?\r\nThank you so much.
Mine was also incomplete. The card box was missing a crucial part that is needed just to do the trick. It was also missing the hole for the string, as were the little plastic coin bags. I’m waiting for a replacement trick from Penguin. But now that I’m seeing someone else had exactly the same problem, I’m not expecting anything different than what I got. If that’s the case, I will have no choice but to post my own review with one star, and a recommendation not to buy this.
Dear jla930,\r\nI\'m so sorry about your problem with our trick, when we produce the trick we checked from factory and sure that it include enough plastic bag to you, if you can, please contact to my email: phamduythanh.smagic@gmail.com for more detail, but i hope you know that we are trying to be better.\r\nThank for your comment.
Duy Thanh, I sent you an email. I received the bags. That\'s not the problem. The problem is the card box is not gimmicked like it should be. I\'ve received the replacement from Penguin, and all the gimmicks are incomplete, just like the first one that I received. The card box is missing the most necessary feature. It\'s also missing the hole for the string. it\'s also missing the adhesive strip for the bottom flap to finish the assembly of the box. The bags are missing the hole for the string. I\'m guessing this is the same problem that Dopemagic had in his review. This is the worst magic trick I\'ve ever received from anybody. I can\'t even try it without the card box gimmick. Did Smagic ship out all the boxes like this? Is Penguin going to have to issue refunds to everyone they\'ve sent this trick to? It\'s like Wonderbread sending loaves of bread to supermarkets, that haven\'t been baked!
Dear jla930, please give me your email and i will contact you for the problem that you got. Thank you.
For the record, Duy Thanh emailed me an explanation as to why the gimmick wasn\'t finished. It has to do with customs and legalities. He also emailed me a link to a video showing how to finish construction of the gimmick.
Dear jla930, now you have the complete product. What do you think? Do you recommend it? Thanks,
Mikelodion13, I still have to finish the construction of the gimmick, and then give it a try. In all fairness to Duy Thanh, I will say that the construction is not difficult. You will need to have him send you the link to the construction video. You will also need a duplicate card box. Based on what I am seeing on the tutorial video, it does not seem difficult at all to perform. I will report back when I have completed it and have given it a try.
