Hi everyone,

Just watched David penn perform a beautiful packet effect on youtube called hypno aces.

The whole presentation centres around gamblers and hypnosis and the payoff at the end is beautiful.

I do hope that this item will be released very soon as I see it being the kind of item that strolling workers will want to add to their reps very quickly.

Best

Wow John! Great find!!! David Penn is a great thinker, I will be looking out for this!!!

Hypno Aces is being released in February at the Blackpool convention along with Coinvexed, on the World Magic Shop Stand.

Seasons Greetings

Was fortunate enough to purchase coinvexed at Blackpool at a point when David was doing a deal where he threw hypno aces in. As fantastic as coinvexed is when I got home that night I was more excited about hypno-aces. It is EASY, has a natural patter to accompany it and gets great reactions. I do not currently perform packet tricks but this is going straight in. I mentioned in another thread that I will use davids idea of keeping the cards in the zed+ wallet this makes for a visual switch for your business cards at the end that goes along with the hypnosis theme of the trick. Very good and highly recommended

This was reviewed on My Lovely Assistant:

The reviewer said this is Gary Freed's NFW and his suggestion is to not buy it.

"This is not innovation; it's blatant copying, with just enough changes to avoid violating the originators' copyright. It may be legal; but I believe it is unethical, and for that reason alone, the author should not be encouraged.
Not recommended".

For that matter, you could say the same about "TEN" by Richard Sanders. There are a lot of packet tricks with the same gimmicks but different handling. Not sure I would say unethical and not innovative in this case. I like the spiral design and the hypnotism concept.

This is a very good piece of magic. All magic is derivative .
