I have read the hype so why is Tri-cycle any better if at all?
In cellophane, the writing on a signed piece of cellophane changes from the wrong card to the chosen card. |

I haven't seen cellophane performed, nor do I own it, but the effects sound fairly different to me.
In Tricycle, the way the new logo is printed, it can really appear to the spectator that it says Bicycle on the box, and that you visually change it to their selected card. I mean, there are several "get it wrong, then magically reveal the selection" effects out there that could be compared. I'm sure cellophane is probably a fine effect, but Tricycle sounds different enough, as it's the box that changes. No cellophane needed on the box. Please let me know if there's something I'm not getting. Have you watched the Tricycle preview on E? If so, and you also know how cellophane goes, are the differences not apparent? Kevin

The question is why is it better?
Of course the differences are apparent. As far as I know, it could be a two sided box. |

As I said before, I can't say why one is better than the other, because I'm only familiar with Tricycle.
But, since the effects seem to be somewhat different, would it not be difficult to say that one is flat out better than the other? One may be better for some, the other better for others. What the best way to reveal a card? It depends on the performer, I guess. Tricycle is not a double-sided box. The back has the rider-back design, like any Bike box. Hopefully someone familiar with both can put their 2 cents in. Is there a demo video anywhere of cellophane? I can't seem to find it through Google. Kevin

They are different effects so I could see the advantage of either one. I have cell-o-phane and the nice thing about it is that the prediction written on the cellophane changes to any card name & suit were Tri cycle only reveals the same card every time.

Perhaps I am mistaken, but I believe cellophane is a 1 card revelation effect also. Any card can be written on the cellophane and "seen" to change to the selected card.

I'm unfimiliar to Tri Cycle,but have performed Cellophane(if you are talking about the Paul Harris effect, where the mark of a card is transfered to the cellophane on the card box.And then to the back of another card) many times.Jaws always drop with this routine.It's very good.
