Looks very visual !

But come on, I've never seen anybody hold a box like that.. So unnatural, too bad.

I've been disappointed with Alliance, will pass on this one.

Thank you Titanas! I hope people have a lot of fun with this. The hand placement is only for a short period of time and never becomes an issue when performing for real people:)...

The effect looks good & the box can be handed out & it's customisabl,e but the holding of the box WAS FOR ME a concern.
Looks unatural and as if something is being hidden.

Will wait to see this done real time.

The spectator's reactions prove that the holding of the deck is irrelevant

Now, this is just how I think it works and I might be wrong (I don't think I am however, especially due to the sound the gimmick made at one point in the trailer); but if it is: has Laurent Mikelfield been asked permission for this?

Looks good though, I wish Danny and MagicTao nothing but the best with this release.

Awkward, unnatural handling, underwhelming moment of magic. Sigh.

I agree . However visual the change is the way of holding the box is a little weird . However maybe I'm just thinking like a magician ... Some specs might not notice it ~

I know holding the box that way takes away from the effect . I have Flux & will stick to that !

I'm a big fan of magic tao and I don't want to be rude but I think offset looks much better. Sure; you cant hand the box out but it all looks a little more relaxed. I appreciate the effect is aittle different but just an opinion.

The explanation has various ways to handle the gimmick. We chose this particular method for the trailer as we didn't want to reveal the method to the camera. Chris Webb teaches another method which I am sure you will say is more practical and better. Secondly, the reactions you see were by using this method of handling the gimmick. As magicians we over alanlyze these things when in the real world it doesn't really matter. Who is to say what is the right or wrong way to hold a box?

There's no right or wrong ways to use the box , it's just which way is better and more natural . Of course the way of holding the box may not be a concern to some audience , but I shall stick with INK and FLUX ... I prefer the handling to look more natural .

Yes but they are better things on the market that achieve the same effect so I'll pass on this one.

I do think we can overthink things sometimes as magicians. Having played with this I quite like it -I personally think it is better than some of the earlier Danny Weiser releases. But I haven't looked at some of the comparative effects folk have mentioned. Horses for courses and all that. You can read my full review on my site if you want to...
