This looks great, so visual !
Its on my wish List. I already perform Tenyo Ghost Camera and this would fit right in as a follow up / closer for that. |

I love the effect but sometimes things are a bit different than I expect before I buy it. (You all know what I mean.) I'm up for this, but will probably wait until a few of you more wealthy guys post a review before I buy it. A trick that costs $10,000 is bit high for me. That's a few bucks for the trick and $9950 for the divorce lawyer. : )
At a convention of mind readers, a man sees an attractive woman he'd like to meet. He walks up to her and says, "Hello! You're Susan. Who am I?"

Looks beautiful. But personally I would rather use it in a mentalism context. So I'm wondering if the gimmick has to be on a red bicycle card? Could I make it up this gimmick on a blank card or any other material ?
Also , as I'm sure most of us want to know , how quickly can you go from discovering the 2 initials to performing this reveal? Can you do that in front of a spectator? Enquiring minds want to know! |

Looks great, but how many people are actually going to have a flashlight or phone with one? I don't even have one and would need to carry a flashlight around. Might be worth it for the effect to carry a tiny one.

Everyone doesn't have a Smartphone though. I don't nor do I want one, not a big cell phone person I just have a basic one for emergency use only. But I know many do not even have cell phones especially the older crowd. So would definitely need your own light just in case.

I don't buy much these days but this is a serious contender, it is beautiful & theatrical as Dominic & others have said.
Anyone know, or guess, that if one buys it one can apply the method and principles to business cards (or at least fairly thin ones)? I have a supply that are blank on one side for predictions and such like...

I think most might also have enough common sense to know that a light would not be that bright or shine through that much in reality. But maybe because it was a "magic moment" it was brighter. Maybe it will fly past most though.

I actually think an organic light, like a flame from a zippo lighter or candle would make this effect even more magical.

In the trailer they do show it being used with a match and it looks just as good

I have one myself but only for emergencies and it stays in the car. Not everyone is a mindless drone who walks around staring at screens, at least not the older crowd. I am not a cellphone person at all and have used on maybe once in the last 10 years. So in my case I would not waste the money as I am not a puppet who buys every latest electronic gadget. Many might have cell phones yes, or more basic ones but I am pretty sure not everyone is going to whip out a Smartphone with a light on. I will test it out at the 3 restaurants that I work. The only ones see on phones are mostly college kids. But they stick to fast food more often than expensive restaurants so it mostly the older crowd and their kids.

The REALITY is not everyone has a cellphone, or a smartphone with a light. They may have a basic one in the car as not everyone needs an overpriced cellphone. So you have to be prepared for that. Not everyone can afford them either, this is the real REALITY. Not everyone is a puppet of the latest techo gadget either. For many a basic cell phone is good enough only those who live on phones need all that other useless fluff. The only ones I see walking around staring at screens all day are the younger ones, High School and College. Definitely not older people as they grew up without them and can actually survive without them as do I.
