Hi Reignofsound

You get 30 of them which should last quite a while however I think with a bit of knowledge you could make some more yourself.

30?! A friend got this and it only came with 12.


By the sounds of it he received 11 too many according to Matt who still uses the same gimmick.

Good review on WPR this week. The peek was the only let down.

Eyephone is too expensive unfortunately.

If you think about how you p**k with a SUC, and add one simple sleight - you can use the little plastic case that comes with this...

They write the number
*Do stuff*
Pocket the plastic case
And on you go

You don't have to over prove anything with the number having being written down, it should become forgotten about asap...

That's how I'm doing it...

Received mine today. Matt does a great job of explaining how to perform this exactly as he does, leaving no stone unturned. Gimmicks are great and will last a lifetime.

Although I won’t be using it as I don’t use business cards.

I am presuming you need cards of some sort to do this or is it on the side of sharpies etc ? I am trying to get away from having cards in play as can already use a one card crib for the magic square anyway . I presume you still have to subtract to the get the key numbers ? Smile

Correct. Subtracting required. If you already perform this then you do not need this.

Hi All,

I am an from the old guard and have seen people do the magic square numerous times over the years BUT never thought it as any more than a bit of of maths puzzle which I suppose it is usually people have the grid on a large white board or one of those flip charts.

So it never really interested me as I do things close up and to friends - this is where I think Matt has added to the magic square beyond where it has been before.

Now you can do it on the fly with only the need for a pen to hand as everything else can be borrowed.

Matt's routine works perfectly for this way of performing the magic square and for us whose memory is full of useless things like numerous stacked decks, star sign anagrams etc etc having the gimmick "In Plain Sight" saves me from learning and remembering another THING.

I will most probably recall the requirements over time as I do with most things but at the moment its working perfectly and is getting great reactions.


People ask is this or that version better than the other, every version has its place and this one is the one you will use when you want to do something entertaining and have limited supplied with you and everything can be given away at the end as a souvenir to your spectator.

Everything is taught by Matt and he is precise and enthusiastic, I do not do the peek he teaches you on the online instructions as I have ways to do this which are more in keeping with my style.

I will add one negative the box that is supplied in the package DOES NOT match the one on the instructions and for someone like me who does not use business cards this is something that is not required if it was like the one in the instructions which was larger I could have used it as my blank billets/playing cards will not fit.


Final thoughts.
If you always fancied doing the magic square but its not been your thing this is definitely worth looking into purchasing.

Regards
Dr Rob

Yes, it is. Minus 21, to be precise.

It’s obvious how it’s done it goes back since the Ark so was just wondering whether even this is done for you on the Tenyo version since the numbers are pre selected ie

I think this works BEST with combining it alongside another item - I'm sure most of you have a peek wallet - this would work here with a stack of billets (ie thought transmitter pro, Jeff Kaylr's ultimate networking tool - both would be great). An impression device would work well also like the informer. I think I am going to use mine with a parapad.

I received it and I don't understand why Matt didn't include EVERYTHING you need to remember on the gimmick.. You still have to remember something, I agree, it's not a lot, but the purpose of the gimmick was to take away all the memory work. It is not doing that.
