One thing is clear. Mark Calabrese performs this trick A LOT. And why wouldn't he, with those reactions. A FREELY selected, SIGNED card ends up inside the sharpie marker they signed it with. Surreal, and impossible, and people FREAK OUT.

Interesting. Thoughts?

The trailer looks great, I'd also love to hear some feedback on this one.

Can it be done with notes/bills?

Just saw the trailer and wish it was a complete video. Not much to go on but for $13, might spring for it. But will wait till others chime in and give their opinion.

I would like to see a full "trailer" from beginning to end in order to form an opinion. It would be nice, as a magician, to get an idea of when/how the load happens. Because most of us know what has happened, you just kind of want to get an idea of how he gets into the load/ending.

You can’t get the full performance, because the presentation IS the method. It is exactly as you can imagine. The 40 minutes download walks you through the different ways Mark suggests how you do it, but it comes down to stalling and misdirection. And it requires a lot of practice, as much as you put in learning the MCF for example. In the introduction Mark says he’s been performing this for about a year, which explains why the whole thing seems rushed. Is it worth $13? My feeling is no. Mark has his own style of presentation and that’s what makes his version work, but for most it won’t. And btw forget doing his “method” in a formal environment, because a suit will make his handling a lot harder.

Hmm it's pretty hard to secretly do what is needed, I'll stick to performing Look Sharp
