This is one of those Great Power/Great Responsibility Moments Report this review

This indeed is a powerhouse card trick when you can find a willing spectator who will go along with the presentation. You are evoking a sense of release from their inner burden, and thus for that reason you must tread carefully. I have yet to have any of those crying moments, but this can certainly happen when you find the right person. There is a genuine psychological ploy used here for entertainment with the ripping of the card that will alleviate the mood of the participant so this will knock out any ambitious card routine you do if you want to hit your audience on a deep emotional level.

As for the video, great teaching from Chris and Steve. One method taught with a gimmick you probably have, and one that can be done on the fly during performance. With 75 minutes of explanation and several live performances you can quickly learn the patter and see how to jazz off the cold reads your spectator provides you with.

So yep, this is a great and strong effect. If it were 5 dollars cheaper I'd be inclined to give it 5 stars, but if that's my biggest setback then I have nothing to really complain about. Combine this with the effects Dr. Fun and Deep 3 and you've got an overwhelming emotional ride that'll truly make change their day for the better. Thumbs up
