Thanks for the comments, Rene!
Let me clear something up: This is an adjusted/improved gimmick for an effect that I designed years ago. Phantom is a similar type of gimmick in its modus operandi but produces completely different effects due to the adjustments designed to do the effects related to Phantom. In other words, with the other gimmick you are committed to do just that effect and you're not able to perform any of the Phantom routines with it. I'l be posting a full performance shortly...it's just a rough iPhone vid. but gives you the whole picture. Thanks for all the feedback and have a wonderful weekend! Peter

Hi Peter its nothing personal. I have and use some of your other effects with great success. This release just wasnt for me that's all. So no hard feelings.
But I wish you well with it
There are two rules for success..... 1. Never reveal everything you know.

Can't decide what to do with my order. Purchased from Penguin before some of the negative reviews tumbled in. Now I can't decide whether to just ship it back unopened or try it and get stuck if I don't like it. I'm afraid my curiosity will get the better of my common sense. Hoping to see some more reviews before its decision time.

Ah jeez... this came today..... sorry guys... it's horrible.
Just... there is NO WAY on earth I'm gonna be messing around with something like this at gigs... it is so problematic.... the fact alone that a blob of wax is going into the middle of your deck means cards are going to get stuck together, rise up together, cut together... it's a total mess. It is indeed totally knacky and inconsistent.... Orginally I was hoping for something similar to Peter's Original 'Haunted' but with more control ánd versatility... this is not it... it creates so so many problems. This was put out just for the SAKE of being able to use someone's borrowed deck... who cares?? Who on earth carries a deck on them anyway? Which spectators have decks of cards? Totally unnecessary. I just cannot be doing with this..., literally a single elastic band would be better in achieving this effect.... I don't know why I bothered to buy it... must have more money than sense. We all know Peter is a good guy and an extremely talented creator. I have no qualms with him putting out something like this to try, but I am VERY DISSAPOINTED in the crafty way the gimmick pen is totally hidden from the trailer, cut out of shot... that is crafty and dishonest. To say the gimmick is invisible is also a severe play on words... advertising at it's very best. I cannot believe this wasn't made clear that the gimmick was hidden in a special pen... to me we HAVE TO LET buyers know this!!!! IT IS ALSO THREAD. 100000 PERCENT THREAD,no matter how you look at it!! IT IS THREAD, slightly thicker and more elastic,.. BUT THREAD!!!! CHRIST...

As you can see from my post count I'm a lurker but in this case feel I need to post.
IMO the most deceptive thing about Phantom is the advertising. In the ad (and even on the package) it specifically says "NO ..." despite the fact that the gimmick uses it. I can't remember the last time I returned a trick but this is a matter of principle. |

Ironic this came from a production company named "Empty Hand."
You hand is certainly not empty when you do the trick...that is the issue. |

I returned mine for a full refund, no questions asked.
I am glad that it wasn't just me. |

Haha....just received this and sadly I have to agree with everyone so far. It's horribly bad, I'm not even convinced the gimmick is 007 clever. I have a s****r p*n that's miles better. While I'm genuinely wary of reviews on here, they're all right. Nothing about this looks natural, the rising card and haunted deck are laughably bad in the demo video and I'm doubtful the bottle would even work but I'm not opening it to find out because even if it did it's so unnatural that it screams to the spectators in that you have to have something in your hand that is so obviously out of place it's like a giant pimple on your nose. Listen to the people who have this and save yourself the time and energy to have to send it back.
It's also interesting to wonder why there isn't the social media mob on this thread like they are on Ellusionist and Sansminds bemoaning the over the top misleading advertising. This is far far worse than anything I've encountered from either of those companies. Still, Peter has released some great stuff in the past, no reason to think the next creation won't be great. No one hits home runs every time. This is for sure a swing and a miss. I said before this might be divisive. It won't be. Very few people are going to like this. |

That is awesome. And I use to use that as a basis to purchase a product. No more. I will trust other customers instead. This was the first time I bought something by only reading reviews from dealers and watching the demo. HUGE mistake! And.... to back a product like this and back the coin vanish?? Wow! I know I said I was done with this thread, but it really upset me to see you and other dealers backing this; to include Murphy's. Come on Cole. Please help us in the future. |

You can make toast with it, but it will taste like wax, thread and a little sharpie ink 😂

Not sure anything can top Change as the worst magic release of all time but sounds like this is gaining fast

Personally this is way worse but they're about neck and neck. I can use two of the changed cards and do (blurred King and color change) and if nothing else they're stupidly fun to play with on my sofa. Not so much this.
