Regarding the hole/signature discrepancy.
Couldn't you just give the card a casual spin/rotation as a subtle flourish after you turn the card face down and BEFORE you punch the hole?
It seems it would create just enough "confusion" to not bother trying to back track.
Not sure if this is too simple a solution.
Let us know your thoughts.

I noticed the matching of the effects yesterday too!

I would consider PORTAL's demo release to beat WMS rather than the opposite. A genuine action that will allow tao to release the effect even if they share the same method.

Besides that, by the time portal's video is uploaded from july I do not see why "Flik" is the "original one". And by the way, we do not even know if the methods are common to judge. Instead we see pretty much identical performances which makes it illogical to say that only the one of them LOOKS AMAZING , exactly because they look the same.

This is an example of parallel inventions and I really do hope that they have different methods as it will prevent many problems that will be caused when the 2 effects will be released. The more I am watching the demos, the more I believe they do.

Hello Bart !

As 1KJ states, you can make more than one gimmick with the material provided. The red version will need a little bit of thinking but not something really hard And even after making a red gimmick, you will have enough material left to repair the blue one AND to make a business card version of it !

No fears to have

Thanks 1KJ by the way for this awesome review !

My thoughts on combining this with TAG are to do Flik first, with a business card. Then you tie the string for TAG through the hole that just moved on the business card. Then you have them sign a card and do TAG. They are left with both the business card and the signed card, both of which just had impossible things happen to them.

Since this seems to only come in blue, and I want to use this with red cards and my business cards, is there enough material included where I will be able to make up a red gimmick and a business card gimmick?

Let us know how it goes using your business cards. As someone who owns the trick, I would think it would not be as deceptive unless your cards have a lot of printing on them or are of a certain color.
Also, since everyone knows that your entire stack of cards are the same, wondering how that might affect things?
I'm not saying it can't look fantastic, I just have concerns about it, but have not personally tried it. Mainly because it would not look very good at all with my current business card.
So be aware that there is a good chance you will have to have new cards made with this trick in mind.

However, one thing that I really do like about using business cards, is working it out so the card really is given back to them with the hole clearly in a different position than when it started. Although the same could be done with playing cards too but would change the nature of it.

I do something that is perhaps similar. When preparing the gimmick, there is a certain something that holds it in place. If you skip that step, then you can simply hold the gimmick with your fingers. This gives a bit more control. However, I find the gimmick works well both ways.
