One thing I love about Penguin is the reviews. I usually don't buy an effect until I can read some
feedback because unfortunately there are FAR too many BS videos that totally misrepresent the trick.
I bought this before any reviews...my bad.
As soon as I opened and saw the gimmick I knew
what it was and so will your spectators. In addition...it looks NOTHING like what is shown in the
video. In the video there is no super glossy top and the prediction background...which looks like
white crinkled paper in the video...is a tell-tale grey.
You CANNOT reveal anything as stated
because the space allowed and method mean a single symbol or a three letter word or number is about
the max.
Instant reset to me means 2-3 seconds...this you need to go somewhere private...VERY
carefully reset because you can damage the gimmick...then come back. But believe me...you will not
be doing this trick twice because it doesn't look like a photo at all and the prediction is not
clear and everyone will know immediately what this thing is.
While I love Penguin publishing
honest reviews I also think it's their responsibility to remove effects that have BS
videos...otherwise their loyal customers are being ripped off. This is one I'd really like my money
back.
I haven't used the product, but I will say that when I saw the second video (the actual performance), I was reasonably certain what the "photograph" and method was the instant it appeared on camera. It definitely doesn't seem like a fooler, and (more importantly) I agree that it seems miles apart from what's implied by the trailer video.
In that second video, he also says... "you can keep it if you want", am guessing that means you're out $35 if you do that, right?
