One thing I love about Penguin is the reviews. I usually don't buy an effect until I can read some feedback because unfortunately there are FAR too many BS videos that totally misrepresent the trick.
I bought this before any reviews...my bad.
As soon as I opened and saw the gimmick I knew what it was and so will your spectators. In addition...it looks NOTHING like what is shown in the video. In the video there is no super glossy top and the prediction background...which looks like white crinkled paper in the video...is a tell-tale grey.
You CANNOT reveal anything as stated because the space allowed and method mean a single symbol or a three letter word or number is about the max.
Instant reset to me means 2-3 seconds...this you need to go somewhere private...VERY carefully reset because you can damage the gimmick...then come back. But believe me...you will not be doing this trick twice because it doesn't look like a photo at all and the prediction is not clear and everyone will know immediately what this thing is.
While I love Penguin publishing honest reviews I also think it's their responsibility to remove effects that have BS videos...otherwise their loyal customers are being ripped off. This is one I'd really like my money back.

1-the method is not good for everyone
2-the reset is risky ( you can damage the gimmick sometimes)
3-is not what you see in trailer( always video cutting ech ech...)
4-spectators can see and guess what is the gimmick.
5-gimmick is very poor made.
6-the prediction is not clearly visible.

I have practise this trick but have not shown anyone yet. I do like it and I will use it. Have to wait and see what kind of response i get from it. I think it will be good. My test friends like it though..
