Michael,
Thanks for the kind comments. A lot of work has went into this effect and we are pleased with the outcome. It has become a staple effect of our show. We just performed POP-CARD this past weekend in our stage show and received an outstanding review from it. People tend to talk about this one trick as they can relate to it. Audience members tend to have a tough time relating to objects or props that are not normal day to day items. So now the audience has something that they can actually relate to. We are excited to release this effect so that EVERYONE can experience the phenomenon of what POP-CARD can deliver to your show as it has for ours. Thanks

We are going into production this week and have several DVDs that are not spoken for. Better get yours before they are all gone from the first run.

This product looks great and you certainly cant beat the price for it. I talk to Mike personally and he's a great (and humorous) guy. Im sure this will be a product you cant go wrong with. If anyone has any reviews, please post them for others to see.

Sorry we don't perform with animals. So that effect won't be coming out any time soon. Thanks again for the idea.

I think it has some funny potential. I have bought it and cant wait to get it, lets face it there are many really weird concepts in the world of Magic. Milk to light bulb comes to mind. So when is it going to ship?
Thanks

Mr. Phil,
There was a delay in the shipment from the duplicators due to Thanksgiving. They will be arriving to us tomorrow or Thursday. And we will ship right away to all the orders. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Ok, have to update the pop card performance experience log. I thought I would throw pop card in a local kids show I worked last weekend. The kids loved it. I actually did a prediction effect before pop card, where I forced the blueberry pop tarts over 2 other flavors. It worked great with pop card, and kids were all over it. So, I'm curious how many kids were talking about the trick the next morning at breakfast to their parents, brothers and sisters. Maybe not a big deal, but I kept thinking about it. Anyway, the kids dig it.

Just got this in the mail, watched the DVD and love it. We're going to use it in a stage show in January and see how it goes - but I'm guessing it'll be great.
I watched the DVD in the computer, and it did not have really smooth playback with Windows Media Player, though - but no big deal, I should've watched it in a DVD player anyway

Man... you two seem like nice young men but this isn't a winner. The opening of the DVD was a poor attempt at being street, the performance wasn't great and I'm glad you admited not being card magicians, and this won't work in virtually every situation. This looks like a case of getting something out for the sake of getting something out. Keep up the thinking but this one lacks in too many areas.
There is one situation where this will work, and I said this in the review, that is if one is around the natural home of the pop tart and you can make it almost look like a passing thought. Not a good idea for restaurants, strolling, street assassins, but might work for Mac King. On the bright side I thought the explanation was well done, meaning thought out and presented well enough, saying you found the pop tart in the card was a funny slip. It did show some creativity but just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be done. |

Forgot one thing. This would work in a kids show because of the same things that make it bad for other situations. Pop tarts are silly and finding a card in one is silly and that kind of stuff kids like.

MagicSanta,
Thanks you for the review. We enjoy hearing others opinions and suggestions. We use this effect in our stage performances for corporate events, fairs, restaurant gigs and theater shows and have had many amazing reactions from our audience members. This effect is all about presentations. Thank you for the suggestion of using the effect for kid shows. This is another great way to use the effect that we have overlooked. About being a Card magician, in the video I wanted to explain this as we don't perform with fancy moves like most card manipulators do and we don't want to give our audience false information. Everyone does ditches/steels/manipulations in there own way. Here we created a simple drop that others can perform (even the ones who are not card manipulators - which also allows this effect to be easily performed as there are no complex sleights). Again thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Cheers,
Steven and Michael, The Mirror Images

I was out wandering the desert today and pondering this and you may to emphasize this for the kid show trade. I wrote up a routine for it and it will work.
The problem is in the restaurant/strolling environment is restaurants won't want you pulling out a pop tart. I love 'em, restaurants don't. The routine is messy, the load takes two hands and a good move to do it w/out damage to the tart. Lots of problems. Just for those out there thinking...if it is a box or other container and most foods and objects can either be loaded or made to look like it was loaded...put it in Magic Magazine. |

They have to bus people in to do the work here cuz we don't have people! We had a major flood last week in town so the dry wallers etc are working for money there rather than free in Stage Coach.
