OH MY GOSH!!! my head was like i was just getting off of a roller coaster,the tilt a whirl & whatever really gut wrenching ride from an amusement park that you can think of. i have many of shin lims dvds, but this one one, oh my gosh. lets start with the sound quality, IT WAS BLOODY AWFUL!!!! so many times during the playing of his dvd the background music he used was so much louder than what he was saying. i found myself trying to read his lips it was so bad & i mean REALLY BAD!
for close-up views he has a television next to him & the close-up was being transmitted to the television, so the close-up you see is terrible!!! i don't know why he couldn't just zoom in like the rest of normal camera men or woman do. i think if you used a pair of binoculars you would be ok.
now to the trick, it should be X RATED because it is DIRTY when you start & DIRTY when you finish. first of all with out giving the trick away (which i don't think he could if he tried now) he wants you to make a gimmick but its not the one you will use for the actual trick, SAY WHAT!!! i don't know & correct me if i'm wrong, but when your learning a new trick you want to learn exactly how its done. i think this is where the tilt a whirl comes in because your so confused when you get off the ride. well the same applies here to this trick.
when i finish watching a magic dvd to learn a new trick it goes to either one of two places. on my video shelf after its been added to my catalog of purchased magic dvd's or into my box on the floor labeled "SUCKER" because thats exactly how i feel after spending my good money on such a bad trick. well its up to you if you want to hold onto your good money or not. BUT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!

the trick looked excellent. I have seen DOZENS of Shim Lim magic and his magig SEEMS the best in the world. I look at his vids and say "OH WOW IMPOSSIBLE"!. And I want to buy it but then read the reviews. What am I Missing? Here he does a miracle and all the reviewers cry foul-wasted money etc no only HERE but everything so I've never bought his material. Usually I can look trough the video and figure it out but NOT SHIM's work.
why shouldn't I buy this? I know the selected card is bent while showing it not on bottom a'la card fold...but after that?????

TELL ME WHAT I'M MISSING. OR SHIM, send me another great effect by you and will pay for it once i like it.
