I haven't given a bad review on penguin, and I WON'T start now! :) This is a nice effect to own IF
you get it from the cool box for only 11-12 dollars. If it wasn't for the coolbox then this is a
overpriced effect. You can use the gimmick to do color changes, transpositions, appearances and much
more. THE PEOPLE WHO GAVE THE BAD REVIEWS ARE JUST PLAIN LAZY! They need to find a way to make the
gimmick a great one like I did. I do advise that the blank card can fall of the lanyard sometimes,
but it is no big deal. If it is in the cool box, then buy it! If not, you should probably wait till
it is.

I agree with you and appreciate your positive comments. I will probably not purchase this however I think if I did I'd present it quite differently.
With this presentation, I think most people would get ahead of you and be looking for something to happen with the blank card. I would make it a regular name tag with your picture stating that you're a magician. On the back could be some kind of official badge.
State the fact that you are a magician, and then say, "See this proves it, says so right here." You don't believe me? Well fine (without calling attention to it flick the badge around in fake frustration. I guess I have to show you something then. Have the card chosen, make it vanish from the deck.
You can then pretend to look for the card maybe it fell on the floor, or behind you, or behind me etc. This would provide the misdirection needed. and then say you remember I said I'd prove I was a magician and turn the badge around for the reveal.
Just my thoughts not actually owning the trick or knowing the exact workings.
The Coolbox to the Rescue!
