i haven't tried this yet...that being said sometimes i re-submit a review because certain things happen when you perform for people. you'll think differently of an effect if it gets little to know reactions, they guess how its done, or there's too many fishy moves. as always with alakazam you rarely have to do many difficult moves which allows you to work on connecting with your audience and presentation.

for what you get from penguin's price, its worth your money but everywhere else sells this for bucks. anyways you're getting a lot of knowledge from the dvd. i really really loved the spiked routine. its unlike any i've seen. makes me smile evil thinking about it. this isn't mentalism mentalism. some routines can take anywhere from 5min or longer. paid gig, great, for a house party or on the streets, not so great. this qualifies. add to cart. i love it so far.

the trick has many diferent effects but you can only use one per audiance and cant let them ever see u do it again. i mean its good but way too much for the price but u cant get anything like this with anything else. all that is special are the dice and how they are made. you do no work and just make sure noone exams them too long. i would buy it becasuse i did this for my family and they all fell for it. but only buy it if u have tons of money to spend

This is a tough one for me. I really like the idea behind the method, and the effects presented are very good and very creative. The DVD is very entertaining, as is everything from Spelmann and Nardi.

The one problem I have is that I'm not convinced the method will stand up to scrutiny. Initially, the spectator won't suspect anything, but depending upon the effect and the quality of the presentation, the spectator can very easily spot the gimmick if1 they look for it.

Bottom line, I do like this, and you need to be very careful with effect selection, and the type of crowd you use this on.
