I recently saw the new Afflicted trick performed. I immediately suspected and identified the gimmick of this trick. I knew what it likely was, and I saw it with little effort. It seemed blazingly obvious to me. Maybe this is because I am a magician myself, and I know what to look for. Or, maybe it is because the gimmick/method is as obvious to anyone. I'm not sure. It just seemed that, what I immediately suspected, would be a common-sense suspicion for even the most lay audience.
This trick is, of course, not inexpensive and it is consistently given great reviews. So, what are your opinions and experiences with this trick? When I see so many people say so many great things about something, I naturally second-guess my own perceptions. So, is it just me, or is this trick's gimmick as obvious to anyone as it is to me? Or, is this a really phenomenal trick? Phenominally Suspicious, Dr. Faust

I'm sure you did work it out totally, straight away, with no effort... (you certainly have made THAT clear!)...many of us aren't as clever. I wouldn't bother with Afflicted. As you suggest, perhaps it's too obvious and would only be embarassing for you to perform owing to it's transparency of method. Given that, again...why even ask? Hey, wait a minute...I suppose we now know just how clever you are though...hmmmmm
