Eraser is strong magic. It's visual, direct, and interactive.
Walk-around magic is full of challenges - and Eraser overcomes many of them. Working in a loud environment? This effect can be performed with minimum patter.
Is it direct enough so that drunkards and dullards can follow the plot - but deceptive too? Yep.
Does Eraser play in the spectator's hands? Yes- and that type of magic is what makes walk-around magic so much fun.

Ring In / you can keep the gimmick in with a regular deck and do the re-set practically in front of the spectators. While you'll need to keep them out of play, with a bit of imagination you can do several card tricks with the Eraser gimmick in the deck.

Pulling the cards out of a deck (rather than a plastic packet holder - please, please never do that - it screams "trick cards!") makes the effect more impressive and your routines more fluid.

Wear & Tear: Last night I did 3 hours of walk-around at a country club garden party. 3 hours in humid air - cards and card gimmicks gets unusable. I'd estimate I could do this trick 10 to 20 times in a row with no worries ... but after that I'd probably want to use a fresh gimmick. I like to have my props ever-ready.

Good news ... Rick shows you how to make your own - you don't need to buy refills :)

Angles: the trick is 80% to 90% angle proof. In paid walk-around I prefer 100%.

Handling / Display - the display of two cards is just a bit unnatural. But I think if you do a Monte routine - the display would make more sense. (But I can't plan to do table tricks in the real world of walk-around)

But BUY IT, you will love it.

I display the cards very naturally by just pulling them apart with the gimmick not showing (kinda like a double lift). The Spectator sees one card in one hand and one in the other. Then I bring them back together and show the backs. I don't dwell on this and usually they are satisfied.
