Does anyone own this one? I'd like to know how useable it is in a close-up venue.
Is it very 'angly'?
Do you need anything besides the needle, a piece of string, the gaffed card case and a regular deck?

Any review on this will be much appreciated...

Thanks in advance,

I had this product. you can search the demo on youtube.

All props includes the needle, a piece of string, the gaffed card case and a regular deck. As for close-up is fine, but you have to make a misdirection to let the audience to check the cards not card case. However you can just show card case or put the needle with string through holes of case agian to prove the case looks like a regular one.

This was also explained on Evans new videos. Its okay, but not nearly his best products. The hardest thing in my opinion would be to find performance to justify the whole thing.

Thanks, guys

Hey J-M, I thought this was one of the performance-only effects in his new set of DVDs ("The Other Side of Illusion"), since he sells it as a separate item.

Concerning the justification, you can do it at the very beginning as a curiosity or something, as you can continue using the same deck since it's not gaffed.
