If I'm not mistaken, seems Greg's version has a lot shorter performing time. That would be ideal for people who like the concept of Mike's effect, but are in need of a faster, more streamlined routine.
A "quickie" so to speak. So the effect could fill it's own niche.

I finally dug Mike's routine out of my drawer last night. I think I'll work on them both, that way I can have the best of both worlds!
Plus the Mike Powers routine also includes the very visible "Diminishing Returns" Deck. Great value for the money. Mike is a fantastic magician. I have his book "Top Secret Stuff." I met him once at Abbott's back when my wife was alive. Sweet guy!

I too would like to know what level of card handiling is required to do this well.
Thanks |

How many handling or level of handling are taught in this DVD? How many gaff cards are included?

Pip Streak is very easy to handle... Greg teaches a very easy version and an intermediate version...
The very easy version is enough to kill laymen Also searching for a place to get refills of the gimmicked cards... Perform it everyday and cards can rapidly get sticky.... especially in summer

I don't know if Greg is selling refills, but I agree it would be an excellent idea. I had also posted a review, and I mentioned that it would be nice if we could get other cards besides the 4 of clubs so that we could do repeat performances for the same crowd. It would look just a tad suspicious to repeat the effect, and someone is looking on who had already seen it, and "miraculously" the 4 of clubs is picked every time! Might raise suspicions just a hair.

So only one gaff card for this trick?

So far.

But it would be nice if Greg sees my hint here in this thread and decides to offer a variety!

Really...? No one able to comment on the level of card handiling required to do this effect. The promo video on Penguins site makes this look like an exciting effect to add to a collection.

Beginning to intermediate, would be my estimate from watching the video.

I did an extensive one. The search engine should turn it up for you.

Anyone in the Café know how to get in touch with Gregory Wilson besides facebook. His website http://www.gregorywilsonfx.com just has a way to purchase a couple of effects but no contact page. I seen him at a lecture last week and had a question regarding a couple of dvds I bought. Thank you

For what it's worth, I really like Pip Streak. I bought it when I had some extra money on a penguin gift card, and just wanted to use it up. I figured if anything, it would make a great gift for a magic buddy of mine.
After playing with it for an hour or two, I began to love it. Granted, it's not really my style, but it's a great buy for those intimate situations when you're feeling "dangerous". While I do agree its a hyper-edited LSD video, it's still a great trick. Have a good day, Brittain |

In effects like this wherein a person messes with the ink on a card, I feel one should leave them the modified card as a souvenir. It's a shame producers don't allow for this.

Why not combine this with one of those cards where the person sees the pips move for a kicker?
I have the defective deck and include a card above in the presentation. |

Dragonash,
All you need to do is say the entire thing was an illusion, twirl change and give normal 4C. All I can say is I did the DD as my closer once and afterwards the adults were saying my magic was like david blaine. Not to bad. |

Penguin carries the replacement cards ( they can also be used for Doug Conn's Pip Trip from his Built To Last DVD set ):
