After purchasing the product I watch the relative instructional video and 2 months after I received
the item. After two more weeks it is still in the box sealed and will remain like that, the video
was enough for me, until I will think of something smart on how to get some information without
sounded an adolescent. It is definitely a miss leading video the questioning to the spectators is
not shown.
When my nephew was 4 years old he used to ask me
"black cards or red cards?"
Red cards.
Ok, black cards are left. "Spade or Clubs?"
not exactly but very close to
it for $40? Not even a pateo procedure.
In the other hand I am not complaining and not giving
one star review because the design of the deck has a structure which potentially could be use in
different ways but you need to develop a plan to make it work, or ask if spectator card is black or
red.
Did you ever come up with another way to work the cards? I feel the same way you do.
Appreciate your candid explanation. It's unfortunate they didn't include that important aspect of the breakdown questions you need to ask to really show how the effect is performed. Frustrating when that happens and you only realize it after viewing the actual routine instructions.
Granted I don't have the trick, but if you are struggling with equi**** check out any of Max Maven's work on the subject or Hector Chadwick's dl on Vanishing
And this is up for the trick of the year?! A little too much fishing for me. And it's ok to say equivoque. You're not exposing anything buy just writing the word.
I think we are overlooking the emphasis that free choices have been made for 1 out of 26 cards for each choice, and most spectators will auto-associate as 1 out of 52 cards by default. Then there is the added emphasis at the end of the routine when all the cards are shown to be indifferent. By the time this is done any suspicion over fishing giving away how the trick was done is dispelled. We must look at the total package here and not break down some of the elements as a dead giveaway of how the effect was done. It could not be further from the truth. Any reverse engineering on the spectator's part is eliminated when the routine is performed correctly.
Friends,
I have not bought this effect, been waiting for reviews,...
YET, it seems that the trailer may have been short on the way the effect is or has to be performed,...
I would like to know, as Magicians do we really think that the spectators are going yo while away the time to "Backwards engineer" the effect?
HERE are my questions, is it entertaining? is it clean? does it play well?
Like Schindler states: "Entertainment First"
"Reviews" like this make me shake my head, because it's clear that the person that has never performed this doesn't even understand the effect.
There is ZERO equivoque in this effect. The first choice is apparently 1 in 52, while the second choice is apparently limited to 1 in 26 with bulletproof justification.
As far as "sounding like an adolescent", the best of the best magicians of the past 100 years regularly employ fishing from a bank of 6, 8, or even 12 cards. It is a proven technique, even if you individually lack the skill to pull it off.
Really takes a "keyboard warrior" to bash an effect without even trying it out for using a method that dozens (hundreds?) of the best magicians out there have used in paid professional shows with great success.
