This is a great effect. Anytime you can get away from the standard "pick a card" trick, you make the other stuff you do even stronger so, for me, this is worth learning. However, I don't agree with the reviewers who say this is "easy" or only requires "minimal sleights." I have been doing card magic semi-professionally for nearly 40 years; I have never needed and therefore never learned the one critical sleight needed here. I understand that practice is always a requisite but, IMHO, Regal glosses over the mechanics and many, like me, will need to find another tutorial to thoroughly understand it and get it working. Hence, I am rating this four stars. Having said that, if you're willing to put in the extra effort this is a very strong effect to learn and perform.

Thank you Morris...that's some pretty critical stuff you laid down in your review. I too have been handling cards for quite some time, and with almost 30 years spent in the casino business, I'm more than a little familiar with card moves...I really like the looks of this. I've always enjoyed Regal's offerings, that's why I can't understand why the critical move wasn't covered a little better...Thank's again for your review...Have a safe and happy New Year!
