I love Cameron Francis and all of his packet tricks however I consider myself a beginner when it comes to different types of counts like the Elmsley count and things like that. I've come across it over the past year and a half and I've always struggled. This is definitely not for beginners at all as not only do you have to do the Elmsley count but you have to do 4 to 5 different counts throughout the trick. I like the idea however I was also expecting it to be similar to the concept of BWAVE as this is advertised as backwards BWAVE.. The first thing Cameron talks about in the video is that it is not a mentalism type packet trick like the original Max Maven version which is my go to top favorite trick. What's even more disappointing is the video does not evening really teach you how to do the counts if you've never done that before or if you struggle with them in general. He does go over them but only spends one minute similar to a performance versus thoroughly going over how to do each one and then just moves on to the next thing. The cards cannot be handed out unlike regular BWAVE where are you can hand everything if you switch the card you put face up in your packet during the performance and switch it at the end with a real one. These you cannot have examined at all so you have to go on to something else from it.

Those are the cons and pros are it's very short as far as the video length only 15 minutes or so so that's good as I hate long videos that can be summed up to the point I just wish the teaching was better especially providing other ways for it to be accomplished for beginners with handling like this. At least explaining the handling they do use in more detail. It comes in a beautiful packet and envelope it's a really nice package cellophane little thing that will keep it protected. If I learn it and never able to get down the special accounts that you have to do in order to do this trip I will definitely be using this going into panic or vice versa.

I love CF work but come on man please next time like your old packet tricks like NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH (my fav), include other ways to do as you did before, it if people are unable to do those kind of moves as it is not advertised that you'd have to do 4-5 complex counts unlike regular BWAVE that requires no counts. I get that you have to do it someway but there are other ways and you are the creator! I will still purchase your stuff and help that you provide some support for this

Stay Mafical ✨🃏🇺🇸🇬🇧

The start of this trick will look immediately familiar if you know how to perform B'Wave. But from here the trick heads in a different direction. Unlike B'Wave you can show the complete face of the selected King. The next two magical moments then increase the magical impact. First the King turns blank, and then finally there's the most surprising moment of all when the three blank cards turn into the other three kings. As such this trick follows a good narrative with three phases of increasing strength.

B'Wave is typically presented as a mentalism effect, whereas Cameron approaches this as a magic effect, so it does have a different feel despite some similarities in plot. Like B'Wave, it is a self-contained trick that you can carry around, and although it is not examinable, it has an easy reset. Besides the brief written instructions that come with the trick, you also get access to a 16 minute video download. This covers more than one count, but knowing just one of them is really all you need. Much like B'Wave, it packs a lot into something that requires very little. While this won't replace B'Wave for me, it's nice to have another option, and it has its own appeal due to the ways in which it is different.
