What these threads always boil down to is How Does IT Work ?
It's always the same. As soon as you find out how it works, then BUY THE NEXT THING & ASK, HOW DOES THIS WORK ? Laughable really. Mike Donoghue |

Hey, it's Steve Cook and Peter Nardi...even having some idea of the workings, and knowing vid may be best result, I ordered it anyway. I've rarely been disappointed with anything Alakazam.

If I may ask, does it always end with the same card, for instance the star card?

If it weren't for the fact that there are dozens of CRAPPY magic effects released every month, people wouldn't have to "fish" for limitations before buying. It does help to have people like Saysold give it an endorsement. I don't put much weight in most endorsements, even by big name magicians, particularly those who are also in the business of selling magic, but some people on the Café are pretty good about letting people know if something is legitimately a good effect.

Have just watched the explanation and it is bloody good. if you are still thinking about getting this trick stop thinking about it and buy it you will not be disappointed.
one envelope in view all the time and they can say any number - there is no funny counting or spelling of numbers to do. |

Not sure how I missed this as I get Alakazam emails but it looks brilliant and I've just ordered. As for all the questions; I totally get people don't want to get burned but this isn't a release by Sans "we edit out the bad stuff" minds. It's alakazam; a company that are about as honest as you can get in my opinion.

I am used to dealers telling me the method before I buy so I can make an informed decision whether I will use it or not . If the method is sound and even if I could create it for free I would still support the creator and buy it as a) that's ethically fair and b) money isn't an issue for me. Magic must be the only business in the world where you are expected to buy something without exactly knowing what you are getting . Well I always know how an effect works before I buy either by just knowing or have been told by someone else who has it and in all honestly normally the dealer ! I have loads of effects as a result that I use and probably a smaller bottom drawer than most on here . I always go over and above board to share my ideas and generally get the dealer to make my gimmick as well and pay them well for doing so . So it has nothing to do with fishing and you have to remember this is only a 1 in 6 effect so to me the method has to be rock solid . Anyway yes it's reasonable that dealers won't post the actual workings on an open forum so I will just pm them in the future or ring the shop , however I don't think anyone has asked the method on this thread just asked questions that already applies to other ESP effects and if that is a part of that method they don't like they are surely allowed to check it doesn't use it here as they would be buying something they won't use . Magic is all about deception but seems to go right through the whole industry . Well it doesn't with me trust me on that Tarik 😊 |

Reading this thread leaves me with frustration, disappointment and a touch of sadness.
I rarely post comments nowadays as I don’t want to get involved with the whole negative vibe and confrontation that has become typical of these discussions. So many threads on the café go this way with the same names appearing time after time with uninformed comments, arrogance and a general disrespect for others. Under thinly veiled excuses people fish with no thought to the consequences of their actions. They also give negative comments without actually owning or knowing anything of worth about an item. Some also take great delight in just winding people up and/or putting them down. I respect that in recent times many dealers and creators have over hyped and caused great controversy with poor marketing that leaves buyers out of pocket with second rate goods. This should be challenged and they should not get away with it. Thankfully, there are a number of “good guys” still out there that have kept their integrity and can be trusted. Steve Cook is a good friend of mine and he is one the few creators/performers that has earned his stripes over many decades and is respected by some of the top names around the world. Alakazam, I also believe, are one of the best dealers around and Peter Nardi has a great reputation within the global marketplace. I’m not sure this post will really get the message over that I’m trying to give but hopefully it will mean something to a few? |
