I genuinely wanted to love this. The concept sounded exciting, the promo was solid, and I was really
hoping this would earn a spot in my rotation. But after spending time with it, I’m honestly
disappointed and I don’t want others to spend $49.95 only for this to end up sitting in a drawer
like mine likely will.
Like others have said, the deck and gimmick are a bit problematic.
They probably shouldn’t be handed out or freely handled by spectators. That’s not a dealbreaker
by itself, plenty of great tricks have limitations, but this one feels like it could have been saved
if the teaching were better.
The biggest issue for me was the instruction video.
It’s
short, scattered, and not very thoughtfully presented. When Thomas gets into the more detailed
handling, the explanations get confusing instead of clarifying. With a better, more complete, and
more structured tutorial, this trick might have had a real chance.
And the “secret Facebook
group” situation just adds to the frustration.
He mentions several times that additional videos
live in a private Facebook group… but never gives the name of the group or tells you how to access
it. It makes no sense why the full instruction set isn’t simply hosted together in one place.
I’m giving this 2 stars because the idea has potential, and I don’t think the creator meant to
deliver an incomplete experience, but as it stands, it just isn’t worth the money. I hate leaving a
low rating, but I also don’t want others to throw money at something that feels unfinished and
confusing.
