Scott F. Guinn Inner circle "Great Scott!" aka "Palms of Putty" & "Poof Daddy G" 6586 Posts |
Received mine in today's mail. I had an inkling of the method already and know enough about card sleights that I was pretty much ready to go after getting the deck and case set up.
I performed a trail run (relatively poorly) for my wife, who has sen an awful lot of card tricks over the past 21 years. Her response: "That might be the best card trick I've ever seen!" Which, frankly, ticks me off a bit, as she has seen all of the stuff I've created, and she puts Shane's effect at or above most of that! This is NOT for the beginner. Neither, IMO, is it for the person who is scared of sleight of hand, or for those who do not know how to sell an effect. Yeah, you can still do it with poor technique and poor showmanship, and you'll still get pretty good reactions. But if you have decent technique and know how to sell it, well... at the risk of sounding cliche, this really is a reputation-maker. Over the last few years there has been a LOT of garbage released on the magic market. There have also been a handful of really stellar, quality, commercial items released. Shane's Pandora System lands squarely in the latter category. Great work, Shane! I wish you TONS of success with this!

Your right this effect does take practice and intermediete experience to accomplish with a smoothness that hits hard but like anything some effects are worth the practice. Be sure to contact customer service with a copy of your reciept to be added to the newsletter which includes updates to maintance, new effects, theory, and anything else that's been added from the community as well as special savings on Papercrane products.

With this system, can you place the signed card at a SPECIFIC location int he sealed (or not) deck? Or is it always placed in the middle with no precision whatsoever?

If I remember correctly it's in a precise location in the card box!

Man, I'm way behind the times. This thread is the first I had heard about this.

No I got to watch the demo, and it looks killer. The only thing I wonder about, is well, as in card in wallet, I figure there has to be a loading sequence somewhere in the effect. How easy or difficult is it to load the signed card? Can it be done smoothly, without fumbling and arousing suspicion?

Yes the load is routined and with a little practice you can get anything smooth but luckily this system does most of the work for you allowing you more time to focus on your presentation. The card is in its numerical location as well as some other ideas and routines using the system are on the DVD. I am currently writing up some notes on new ideas since the release I've come up with with the help of other like minded magicians in the industry that I'll be sending out to those who already own the system.
The system is no longer with Papercrane it is sold exclusively through my site and one in the UK and another site that is yet to be released to the public until November 2011. US Purchases here. http://shaneblackmagic.com/product.html UK Here. http://www.deechristophermagic.com/pandora.cfm PS. The difference with my system that makes the difference is you can use it whenever your ready with no worries of indexing or other issues, it comes with an extra pocket with easy install instructions.

Just for the record me and Papercrane are still associated I just chose to go a different route with the project just to clear those questions up before they arise me and the PCP are very much friends professionally and personally.

Hey KungFu, great name by the way. I pulled The Pandora System and I'm planning on re-releasing the system witha whole new package of ideas in Febuary. The system will be the same with some small changes but there will be a new disc included with new ideas and tips not originally added on the DVD shot with Papercrane. I will also be sending these extras by digital download to the previous purchasers of my system at no cost to them so stay tunes my friend.
Thanks, Shane |

Shawn Farquhar's new FISM and P&T award winning release should (finally) be released in according to him in 2012...it will be interesting to see how they compare once Shawn releases and Shane re-releases. Good luck to all. Magician's win

I've seen Shawns and his approach to the classic effect is definetly worth checking out he's in my opinion one of the better thinkers in modern magic today. Rest assure our methods are completley different and there are benefits to both, I would go out on a limb and say the Pandora System allows for multiple routines and is for the working magician. As far as what Shawn will be adding I'm sure I won't be dissapointed and I'm anxious to see were he takes it.
PS. The box is completley examinable now with very little set-up I think you guys are gonna love it. Shane |

I was about to order this and see it will be upgraded. Shane, any news?

Zombie I'm actually in the shop building a new run on the systems along with some added extras that will come with the package. There will be a an added DVD with the original with some new ideas and IMO a sweet new box design that's completley examinable before and after the effects...no switches.
For those of you that already own the system if you email me at ShaneBlack@ShaneBlackMagic.com with a pic of your system I'll send you a free download of the added DVD for the new specs. I plan on having all this ready within the next sixty days I'll update this thread when everythings ready thanks for your support guys. Shane |

Shane, you're all class. Many creators would tout the labor they went through and make previous owners re-buy it.
