i love this trick. its so cool that the spectator can think of anycard what so ever. no one knows
the choice besides the spectator and you can instantly reveal it. its the closest thing to reading
minds as there is. it will leave the spectator with no other possible explanation. this is truely
at great idea and an even better effect. to top it off it is so easy to perform because there is no
sleights whats so ever. its almost self working. buy it now. really.

So I've played around with the effect, and it's really nice. It's best used with a new deck of
cards. My one drawback, (and this has nothing to do with the gaff Penguin, so I feel I should be
able to say this openly) that I don't like the advertisement cards having to be utilized in the
effect. Again, in context, you could perform this effect with a brand new deck, which makes sense,
but eventually it becomes a minor hastle, and even having to put a thought to them makes me go,
bleh.
That said, I've seen Mark Mason advertise a ton of tricks that will go straight to
your drawers, or generally crappy tricks overall (the man can't even do a decent Double Lift!)
Thankfully Just Think lives up to its reputation of being A ACTUALLY GOOD EFFECT that lives up to
its reputation...and a bag of chips.
Hell, you could do a card effect, and do just think,
and their thought could be ANYTHING. Need a logical presentation? Say you're a mindreader, they do
their drawing, word, etc, then deal out the cards facedown to faceup, advertisement cards on bottom
as you give a pseudo cold read. Look as if you're reading the cards, and give hints of their
word/image. Creepy, powerful, and just another application of Just Think.
The gimmick
itself: wierd. Then once you understand it, kick***. Trust me when I say you'd never think of it.
4 stars solid. Recommended

I got this a while ago, and its really great. it's really clean, and you will know their card every
time 100% sure. You don't have to use it the same way he does in the movie trailer, you can find out
what their card is, "get rid of the jokers" and then produce their cards however you want. 5/5!

It worked pretty well a couple times. It's easy to execute and I'll probably continue to use the
idea, but after a few uses it began to fail on me. I was going to get an exchange but I see that
another buyer already did this and it didn't seem to help. Maybe it has a limited number of uses.
Again, I think I'll continue to use the idea but maybe come up with another method for my own use.
