I hate giving bad reviews but this gimmick came apart ont he first attempts to use it. the crease on
the box started tearing apart. I really like the idea behind this but the gimmick is to fragile to
last very long. I tried taping it but then the box looks really tampered with. Sorry If they come up
with a stronger box i might try it again...

It’s very clever idea 💡 and with little practice you will learn that.the only problem why I give
this 4 stars is mark never explain how to repair the gimmick.

Without giving away the methodology of the gimmick, I can say it never completes the process because
the "gimmick" isn't strong enough. It leaves 100% of the time an outlying, clearly visible flap
along the edge.
I'm going to have to try to figure out how to strengthen those now,
because this will never work with how weak the "gimmick" strength is. Or maybe mine is just badly
designed?

Ughh, where do I start. Rly rly cool gimmick tbh. I just got mine today and was using it within
minutes of construction. I could be sounding like the other reviewers but I have a feeling whoever
made the gimmick jsut didn’t take enough time to test out the magnets because they are so weak!
That’s honestly the only frustrating part about this other than that once you get the motion down to
make the color change happen it looks amazing.
I’m going to have to talk to Penguin about this
purchase because they never let me down and I feel kinda let down after purchasing this product :(
Ughhh idk, buy at your own risk. It’s an awesome trick but I feel like it’s a gamble whether the
magnets you get are strong or weak. Or perhaps they are all weak in design? Not rly sure tbh

I've used tricks by Mark Mason before and thoroughly enjoyed them. This trick has some quality
control problems. I had to return my first purchase as it was ripped and the tape used had bubbles
in it. Penguin was kind enough to send a replacement. On the replacement, the magnets did not
hold. I definitely won't be recommending this trick.

Excellent concept. Like the other reviews I found the gimmick tearing after only 5 practice
attempts. I was being gentle too! After reading the other reviews on the quality of the product I
was careful in how I practiced the change, but it still ripped. If the box is examined the spectator
will see clearly how it was done, not all sides are able to pass the visual test! All in all I feel
it’s an excellent idea....don’t know how I could design it better but I’m hopeful a 2.0 design comes
out addressing some of the issues. I give it a 2 just on the creativity but the cost is way more
than what’s its worth. The quality just isn’t there for the price. I would have rather spent the
funds on other items. But hey, you never really know until you take the risk right! Oh well....on to
the next gimmick.

I am having so much fun with this effect! I fooled myself the first time I did it.
All you need
is a new deck of cards to match the included box and you are good to go. Set up is nominal. The
trick itself is soooo simple to do and soooooooo powerful to your audience.
Do yourself a favor
and get this one. You will use it for years to come.

I love this trick would've gave it 5 stars if not for the box lid remaining static which Mark Mason
clearly shows how to avoid flashing the lid. All in all great effect
Love it. Glad I bought it. Will buy a spare
Easy to do
Just wish the magnets were stronger
But brilliant
Thanx
Ready to go right out of the Box, Easy instructions and had that WOW moment, I opened with it the
same day I got it and it got Awesome reaction. I had High School kids coming up to me after the
show that were simply blown away
