Dealers got their stock through UPS. Australian Post for the pre-order crowd.
Considering UPS would've cost more than the effect itself, I guess we're ahead of the game. |

It must be one inch off the top of the deck. One inch from the bottom of the deck is not much of a levitation, considering the deck is about 3/4-inch thick as it is.

Does anyone know if extra gimmicks are going to be available? Maybe this question was already answered. If it was sorry.
What I'm getting out of all of this is that once you use your gimmick making a deck up, You pretty much have to dis-assemble it if you want to use the gimmick for something else. Is that right? Thanks, Tim

The effects on the DVD and lecture notes are far beyond your abilities. (They require mastery of the mechanic's grip.) It would only break your heart. Sincerely, Darwin Ortiz.......(This post has got to be in my top 5.) |

Unless Ben makes some offer for special discounts on additional gimmicks, you may as well just pick up another one from some place like Penguin Magic where you can get it for about $60 + free shipping (assumes you have a 10% return customer discount code).
Looks like the custom full deck gimmicks Ben was offering for pre-orders won't be ready for another couple of weeks according to the letter he sent with my receipt. He did soften the blow by offering a free Bikin' to those who are waiting for their custom full deck version. Cheers! ** Bill ** Quote:

Al,
Yes, mate, we must jam one day. How cool! Shodan, The Floating Bill application (or any app that is NOT a deck install) requires quite a bit of practice. You need to develop the "force" and be able to balance it with skill. Tim, Extra gimmicks will be available as part of the DEVELOPMENT KIT which will be out in a few months. Custum Full Deck Install will be available shortly in Bicycle, Tally-ho and Split Spades. I've just finished a couple of sets for David Blaine in Split Spades (to a very special spec). I will advise at the blog when I am free to make more. Until then, unless you pre-ordered, no luck. Sorry. But "rules iz rules". SPECIAL NOTE FOR THOSE ABOUT TO RECEIVE ENLIGHTENMENT! Be SURE TO READ and understand the instructions supplied. Go to the Quick Start Manual and practice with the tumbler, as explained. MASTER IT. Proceed at your own risk if you don't! May "the force" be with you. Cheers Ben

Ben,
As an owner of enlightenment it may be a bit worrying that so much info about he effect is out there. I would hate to do the effect then have some spectator google "floating card" or something come back to me with the pdf and spill the beans so to speak. Now that the effect is out are you considering a private forum or at least a question only magicians can answer before getting the PDF and details on the workings. thanks MAC |

Excellent idea, Mac.

They still don't have any idea how it's done, but it's not uncommon by any means. (And these weren't just kids!) Mike |

I'd make sure when performing the effect to never refer to the name of it. I know this is common sense, but sometimes it can be difficult not to tip the name.
For example, I was doing the invisible deck for some co-workers a while ago, and of course I started the routine by saying "I've got an invisible deck here, etc, etc". After the routine, everyone was amazed, as they usually are by the ID, but then one of the coworkers googled "invisible deck" and moments later he was explaining to everyone how it works. It was a real downer. Yeah, the guy is a complete ***hole, but that's besides the point. After that incident, I made sure never to mention the name of the effect I'm performing. It can be difficult to keep things secret in the age of google and youtube exposure! As far as searching for 'floating card', or whatever else comes to mind, they'll get tons of hits, but most likely none of them will be the right one. |

Still, this is an unprecedented situation. Ben has been kind enough to release an actual product info pack as well as a very detailed blog. It's a bit more possible for the determined spectator to find this particular effect.

Yes ben has been very kind in doing so I'm just a little worried that the info might be too available. The fact is its out there!
