I know it's on the product page, but this is a live demo / explanation: Can anyone that bought this do a review? I'm sure there will be people unhappy with the fact that it is explained, but that actually makes me more inclined to purchase it. |

This is absolutely GENIUS - The thinking, The idea, The method, The working . . . . so simple and yet so deceptive.

Nice! Looks really great.I suppose it requires a wretched "MF"...and yes, I've gone through dozens of decks trying to get the knack, to no avail

Have tried using those or any of the scoring devices on the market? You can make these cards very indectectable, and no force is required if you prepare all or most of the deck. They can open up a whole new world for you. They certainly did for me. Here are a couple popular ones: Perfect Score by Jon Allen http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/5175 MCF Cards by Rasmus http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S22693ds Or my personal favorite (partly because the DVD has so much great material on it): The Bullet by Todd Lemanske http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/5899 |

On the contrary, I would advice that one put in adequate time and effort to practice the MCF until one can reliably produce the same result every time. Also if need be, one can always do the the fold process slowly but that would need a little more time. The extra time can be taken care of through patter and misdirection. IMO & experience, there is no better/alternate way to the classic MCF.
Just my opinion please.

I didn't think I needed another Kennedy-box like effect after Paragon 3D and Mint Box (I used the original Kennedy box for years too)... but I like this a lot.
I do have Perfect Score and Bullet. Both work great and can't recommend them enough if you are (or aren't) having issues with the MCF. I actually prefer it to a natural MCF since most of the gimmick boxes look TOO perfectly folded. I think this even creates a more impossible scenario when they inspect their signed card. I usually do up a whole deck rather than forcing a card, but I can say that both of these tools have actually made me better at MCF's in general. When I was just starting with MCF, I would just try to 'find' the card behind my back after losing it in the deck. I would just bring the deck back out and say that I couldn't find it because it isn't in there anymore. I would then hand them the deck to check for themselves or just point to the Kennedy box for the reveal. It gives you plenty of time to do the MCF without the heat. Not quite as impressive IMO but it worked great while working behind a bar until I was comfortable enough to do it with a little misdirection. Hope that helps a bit with anyone hesitant with the MCF I'm probably going to pick this up too if shipping to US isn't crazy |

Thanks to you guys, especially Videoman and Castype, that was really helpful and useful info.
I was considering either the Perfect Score or Bullet, this confirms to me that they're useful and I'll likely pick up one of them. Ustaad, I've put in many hours with the same awful results...doesn't matter how much time put in, for me. I have the original Kennedy box, and I use it in conjunction with my Q the Quantum Connection. And that works very well for many situations But I really like the look of this one and the assembly/disassembly makes it extra deceiving, for me anyways. |

For me it’s one of the best moves in card magic. It opens so many doors of impossibility, predictions, transpositions, teleportation, impossible location effects and more.
If you’re struggling you could check out Jon Allen’s Perfect Score. My MCF is ultra reliable however when I use a MCF in parlour or stage settings then this adds an extra layer of impossibility. Don’t give up on the move. It’s amazing. Joel Quote: On Mar 6, 2019, dooblehorn wrote: |

The fact that he revealed the secret will in fact make this item a very good seller. I want one, and I doubt I would have had any interest without seeing how ingenious this is!

Well, I tried to order off of PropDog site using Paypal, and it says "PayPal returned an error, please try different card". Have contacted Dave, he's typically very responsive

Does this work the other way around? So instead of the card appearing after the box is shown empty, can you show the card in the box to start with and show it empty and disassemble after the dump?

I'm with you on the MCF. I recently downloaded Cody Fishers card to box and he has an interesting take on the MCF. A slightly different approach that may work.
