Yes, I too am very interested in this effect on Hocus Pocus' website. The ad copy states "there's no fancy sleight of hand involved." Well, we all know what that means -- there's fancy sleight of hand involved!

Seriously, anybody have this effect yet and want to offer a review or comments?

Another one that sounds too good to be true. Hopefully somebody will shed some of the good and bad points on this item.

Has anyone purchased, and worked with, this? Curious if it involves many "moves".

Thanks,
Mike

I don't care if there's a bit of fancy sleight of hand invloved. It sounds really good. But I would love a review.

Actually, there is almost no sleight of hand... If you can insert a card in the deck. ...Cut the cards... you are almost there. The only real move I suppose is actually quite common and in this case is actually assisted by the gimmick... And as I said before, no palming... This is all for the effects as described. Now if you can add some basic sleights... Still no palming... The possibilities really grow... And yes, the card really is signed, and you can really give it to the spectator in the envelope to remove and/or keep...
If you ever get to a point where words have no meaning, you're probably talking to a dog.

Remember! More Bang For LESS Bucks! It is the right way!

There seems to be two on-going threads about this efect...

...Here's the blurb;


A whole set of performance possibilities opens up with clearly Amazing. See for yourself:

Prediction:

An isolated red backed card is in a clear plastic envelope on a table. A card is selected from a blue backed deck. No, you don't know what card the selected card is; there's no fancy sleight of hand.

The plastic envelope is turned over, revealing the face of the red backed card inside. It is the same card! Beautifully simple and clean! Resets in SECONDS!


Signed Card:

An isolated card is inside a clear plastic envelope on a table. A card is selected and signed by the spectator and returned to the deck. The magician instantly reaches over and turns over the plastic envelope -- the signed selection is seen clearly inside!

These are just two of the many effects possible with clearly Amazing! Included are 3 major routines outlined by Paul Chosse and Anthony Miller. The principle explained is limited only by your imagination!

Why do people at the Magic Café feel compelled to post the trivial "news" that they just ordered something? Can't they just wait until they actually have the trick and actually have a review?

Between that and hypothesizing about products before they're even released is enough to make you pull what's left of your hair out.

Too true steve.
I wonder if anyone "realy has" Gekis crazy quick change suspenders or any other of his items and can give a "real" review about them. I wear braces but rarely invest in new magic unless I can get a solid, positive review on it.
I have been utterly convinced into getting fakinin billiard balls from another topic on the subject.

Thanks in advance,
Dani

ps. sorry for going off topic here but couldn't resist this oppertunity

I ordered this but haven't received it yet. No mail delivery on Sunday, but I'm going to look in the box anyway ( I happen to believe in miracles ) and will post what I find.

I agree that it's ridiculous. I haven't ordered this.

Steve,

I have not ordered this, but I might. Hmmm...maybe tonight. No - not yet. I'll be sure to let you know when I do.

To respond to your comment - I was curious to know any opinions about this effect. I appreciate hearing that someone has it on the way so I can await a real review of the product.

I might order it now.....no, not yet. I'll let you know.

MagicChris and others...Some of us await your review.

Thanks,
Mike

People posts threads to inform that they have ordered the trick just because they don't have something interesting to post and want to increase their post number (as I do with this no interest post...!)
