I collect linking card effects. This is, by far my favorite. Very easy to do. Definitely a beginning level trick. After the cards are linked then unlinked they can be handed out immediately for examination. Gimmick is customizable.

My review is simple:

Killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a couple different versions of the linking cards effect and also have most of Mickael Chatelain's best releases, if you know how he approaches his magic, it's always very well thought out and involves very imaginative gimmicks, that can usually end very clean/examinable. This one doesn't disappoint at all and is likely the best version on the market right now. Very clean, visual approach... simple clean up leaving everything examinable... They also include how to make your own gimmicks/repair in the instructions which is very nice.

This effect is very easy to do for such a visual effect. No sleights, no fancy moves. The gimmick is clever, and the tutorial teaches how to make more. I just performed this about an hour ago for our usual server at our favorite restaurant. She was seated about 4 feet across from me, and shewatched in awe as I showed the linked cards. But at the end, when I blew on the cards and pulled them apart, she gasped, jumped up out of her chair, and ran away. I’m still laughing. It truly is a very visual effect, and the cards can be examined before and after the linking, which is awesome. What’s the expression: packs small but plays big? Something like that? How about packs small, but frightens the dickens out of your spectator?

This is about as perfect as a linking card trick can get! It’s SUPER visual, ultra clean in handling, and more than simple to perform. You can more or less start and end completely clean also. Eric Tait does a FANTASTIC job teaching every little detail you need to know to be able to perform this trick as flawlessly as he does. But they also give you the creator’s instructions in both English and French so that is nice. You will be so happy if you pick this up! I sure was. :)

The gimmick does all the work, and makes the trick almost self-working.

It can be customized to other cards, too. Someone asked if it's suitable for business cards. Not really, they are a little two small and don't have the busy background that's needed for the trick.
