All In all, this was my first card to clear the box but I did notice issues.
1. The handling is
a bit off.
2. Once the gimmick is made, you can't change it.
3. With the original handling
the slight pop sound is very noticeable.
The good thing is that I have solved these issues
and can be found on the Secret Facebook Group Page.
I'd say that I like this box over the
Clarity box.
-It is smaller and looks just like a full card folded up instead of just aside.
-Better angles.
How is it compared to Paragon 3D?
-Well I like Paragon 3D for how
clean it is. How you can see the card being tossed out onto the hand. You can see 360 degrees of the
object inside the box.
-However, if you have Paragon 3D, you know the clean-up.
This is
in my personal Opinion a mindless version.
Let me explain.
You take the box out and set it
on the table. You can or do not have to call attention to it.
You have a card selected and
signed. You do what you need to do. Call attention to the box. and then just activate the box to do
the switch and hand the card to the participant.
You end clean, and everything can be examined.
with Clarity Box and Paragon 3D, you either do not end clean or nothing can be examined.
The reset for the Vision Box 2.0 is a bit annoying and I haven't tested out a fix for it yet.
But I have some ideas on that. I do however feel the gimmick was made to force buyers to have to buy
more. Each Gimmick can be found on the Joao Miranda Website in the accessories tab. At $15/Gimmick.
But With my Mod, you won't have to.
There is what I call a dead spot. Which is that the
gimmick can not be shown 360degrees. Butttttt The issue largely goes unnoticed as there is no point
to prove the validity of the card inside. When I use it. I pull the box out and just set it on the
table. Or I have a person hold on it it. I instruct them to put their thumb on the lid so it doesn't
fall off. I then continue the effect. The box will usually fall out of people's minds. If they are
checking out the box and not what you are doing. You're magicing wrong lol.
All in all.
For the Price. This is a great device. There is minimal construction. A bit more If you choose to
mod it (Which I recommend) It has a fairly fast reset. That can be made faster if as you turn away,
start the reset and then turn back around as you reset and it looks like you are just putting
another card in the box.
