1KJ Inner circle Warning: We will run out of new tricks in 4385 Posts |
Linklace 2.0 is a very visual effect in which you borrow a ring & a necklace from the spectator then visually you make the ring link onto the necklace and end the trick clean (No Gimmicks - No Sticky Stuff - No Magnets - everything is borrowed )
Link: http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/4486 I purchased this effect, and I was outraged! The description above clearly says "everything is borrowed". However, in the explanation, you will clearly find out that the "single ring" is clearly NOT BORROWED. This is a blatant example of completely false advertising. I'm all in favor of advertising a product in a way that describes the audience's perception. However, there is a fine line between being honest with the ad and being totally dishonest and they crossed the line. When an ad says the items can be borrowed, that means that the items can be borrowed. CAUTION: DO NOT PURCHASE THIS! KJ |

You should send an email to penguin... I've heard of others being refunded if the ad copy is a blatant lie, which appears to be the case in this instance

Yes, I am currently having a pm with Penguin right now. They have always done right by me. I just want to warn others. Caveat emptor (buyer beware)

Hopefully Penguin will remove it from their items for sale. If the creator were in any way honest about the ad copy, then it might tip that the method is not that revolutionary and certainly not worth what they are charging.

That trick is ancient isn't it? I remember learning the method years ago. It may be in the mark Wilson book, I think.

Yes Sean, it is. And, obviously, you can't borrow the ring unless your spectators are identical twins in every way.
