Worst Obvious Trick ! Do NOT buy ! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 6th, 2016
AS some of you know, I hate tricks where they show you ONLY what they want to show... and they EDIT OUT the most important part of the trick because they know you'll figure it out if you see it.
That is A PERFECT EXAMPLE of this manipulation.

If you just saw 10 seconds earlier on that video of OZ performing it- you would know how he did it...
So basically if you were to see him performing it to someone else - you would probably KNOW how it's done... heck , I knew how it's done even BEFORE I saw the explainer video. I was 99% sure it was the way I thought it was.
And it WAS.

I urge you all to NOT buy any trick unless they show at least ONE PERFORMANCE from start to end - un-cut , un-edited - just one shot of the entire trick.

Because if you could tell how it's done just by seeing it performed - DO YOU REALLY WANT THIS TRICK ???
EXACTLY... neither do I !

WASTE OF MONEY ! DO NOT BUY THIS ! STAND AGAINST VIDEO MANIPULATION !

For any effect whose method depends on misdirection (and the element of surprise), this would not be practical.

Many of the greatest magic tricks can't be shown twice to the same audience.
In fact, probably my favorite effect I do I would never publish videos of it because the method is obvious on video.

Just because the method to an effect is obvious on video doesn't mean it's lame in person. Some of the greatest effects I do kill in person, but on video they would look like a silly gag.

Brain buster, I also agree with the fact that it’s disingenuous to not show the trick from start to finish un-cut. I don’t care if as a magician that I might be able to figure the trick out. I just want to see the trick and all Magic Tricks sold on Penguin Magic from start to finish un-cut so that I can. See if this is a trick that I want to add to my gigs! I would consider myself to be a VIP Penguin Magic Customer as I have spent thousands over the years. I will not purchase any magic trick from Penguin anymore that is not Un-Cut!
