Can anyone explain why it uses a force bag AND switch stand? Doesn't that seem redundant?

Stucky-
Force bag to get the right grouping of letters. Switch stand to get the exact letters needed.

Stucky you can do the routine without the Force Bag, however it's included as an added convincer, since you'll be able to flash letters that are in the final word

I see that the grouping is needed for the spectators benefit in the end - ok / but why not just f the letters in the first place - with something other than a suspicious looking mesh pantyhose bag? Look - this may be Francis' treasured baby but (Imo) this is in no way an earth shattering well thought out routine. I would only buy this for the tray at this point and then rework this so it makes more sense.

When I first saw this performed on P&T FU, I have to admit it left me cold.
Too proppy and convoluted, and not that entertaining IMO other than Menotti's fancy patter. Despite fooling P&T the ending just wasnt all that mind blowing to me. |

As an alternative for those who are not very hot with the reveal, or the way the word is chosen. I thought maybe this could be made to work with Double Clip Line form Devin Knight. As both effects could be long if done back to back, Double Clip Line could be performed first do a quick trick in between, while one spec is holding the news column, and then make the reveal using Word Smyth. Or maybe do Word Smyth first and then Double Clip Line as a second phase. Is it too much ? Maybe difficult to believe that much coïncidences ? Could fit if a portion of the show is about coincidences with a few more tricks that would stick to this theme. Just a thought.
And thanks for the reply on the French and other languages issue. |

I received this yesterday from Penguin magic. My initial thought upon opening the package was that the props looked kind of chintzy. But after watching the video tutorial (which was short and sweet and right to the point), they are just fine to perform the effect. Even the wedding gift looking bag does its job fine. You could substitute one of the nice Zip-lock Carlyle forcing bags but the mesh bag is small, fits inside the travel case and works. The switching stand is clever but without saying too much you'll need to break it in a little bit to get it operating smoothly. Several of the Scrabble tiles were missing letters on them. I don't know if this was due to the production process but just wanted to mention this. I was also missing the special pencil despite the package being factory sealed. I just sent a message to Penguin asking them to ship a replacement.
Overall, this does exactly what it says and requires no technical skill except for a well-written script. It's ideally suited for parlor work as was indicated in the ad copy. |

...One more thing. Having the switch stand and forcing bag is NOT redundant. In fact, it is the STRENGH of the routine. For example, it allows the performer golden opportunities to say things like, "Who chose the letter "T"? And have that very person acknowledge the fact. This point is hugely clever and really SELLS the selection process. Everybody that picked letters will SEE theirs on the stand. Without giving anything away, the pencil circled word is a bit too perfect in my opinion. I would have the circle just barely touching one or two of the letters. Then you could use Richard Osterlind's clever ploy from his magazine test by saying, "What word does your drawn circle closest too?"
