Actually, you can use it close up in restaurants, on the streets or even a parlor show!

yes, the card can be SIGNED and then given out as a souvenir!

This is a great trick. It does take some practice and you have to be careful with the handling or the secret could be revealed. However, once you get it, it will go over well. Great price. Great trick. Start with forcing the card and it will go over even better.

Riffle force the card (that's the easiest for me but obviously any force will do), have spectator sign across the middle (either front or back)and proceed to amaze your spectator. Bought this on a whim and was VERY much surprised at how simple it was yet so magical. I would have paid 4 times the amount Penguin is selling this trick for. Absolutely love it.

I've commented that PM should have a "tab" for "Under 10 buck tricks" because this one should be near the top of the list.
Simply, this is a great, self working trick that plays superbly for a paltry $4.50.
And, yes, affirming another review, a signed card will work and does make a great souvenir.
So, the question is, how can you afford not to have one of these? You can't..."add to cart".

My expectations were very low considering it’s price. I was amazingly surprised at how good it actually looks/works. You can’t go wrong with this one. Super easy, self working miracle.

Nice little innocent looking gadget. Originally I ordered it just out of curiosity but it turned out to be a little bombshell especially when someone is close to you and actually sees the card being separated in half in the middle it does look really magical it is a fun trick that anyone can enjoy at a moment's notice and can be repeated. Now I carry it around all the time and really have a lot of fun with it in between routines. Kids love it teenagers love it and even adults love it.
Just for your information I discovered something that might help some of you out there try this out. I don't know what card you'll get with the zig zag but I got the king of diamonds that inserts inside the gadget.,You might be getting a different card with yours but anyway the deal is that I take a King of Spades and slide it through the slot and when it gets to the end, you can see that it changed the King of Spades to a King of Diamonds so that is a bit of magical display right there.It changed the King of spades to a King of diamonds and by putting a sticker on the King of Spades when you slide it in with the subject's initials he freaks out when he sees his sticker with his initials on the King of Diamonds instead of the King of Spades. Just something that happened to do by accident and it worked.
For for the price you pay and the amount of reactions you get it is well worth it so hurry up and get it.

For giveaways or a beginner, this is pound for pound the best. Rick's suggestions for making it better put this one over the top.
