> Elevated Matrix by Anthony Owen

I tried to practice and adjust but this isn’t for me. Report this review

I was genuinely impressed by the trailer for this trick—it completely sold me on the concept. Unfortunately, the reality didn’t live up to the hype. Once I saw the gimmick, I felt let down by what I had paid for. It’s underwhelming and feels unfinished.

A recurring complaint among other magicians in the discussion thread is that the most critical part of the gimmick is left exposed, which leads to unnecessary Talking, which I feel is the gimmicks most critical job. That flaw alone makes the trick hard to perform convincingly.

At this point, I’m not even sure it’s worth the effort to modify or improve it. I’m tossing it aside. This might be the most disappointing purchase I’ve made in a long time.

The gimmick you receive isn't explained in his book either.
The clean-up move which is described in the book isn't even possible with the included gimmick! Official Anthony Owen gimmick? I highly doubt that because the version described in the book is superior to this. What did Penguin think of with that release?!
