Flat pack is brilliant and Jason Knowles is a genius!
I have been playing with it for a long time and the effect is so visual and provides so much misdirection that people can burn your hands and still miss the "secret" ditch and steal every time. This is a worker!!!! "The Flat Pack appearance was pure eye candy, then Jason pulled the cards out of it and I could have punched him it was so good!!" - Ben Williams "This is the ultimate 'Packs Small, Plays Big' effect!" - Eric Jones "I've seen a lot of gimmicks out there. Some are ingenious but fragile. Others are sturdy but limited. Flat Pack is one of the few that has the best of both worlds: strong gimmick for strong effects." - Jeremy Griffiths "Flat Pack is the best opener I have seen in a long time... It visually kicks the back of your eyes and sends you packing! It's a casual yet a professional piece of magic and perfect for all situations... I can't wait to start using this." - Chris Webb "Flat Pack is my favorite opener for table-hopping and walk-around! It LITERALLY packs small and plays big, and it has that perfect 'haha that's cute... Wait? WTF just happened!?' moment (twice). It's as if Jason Knowles and Tony Stark had a cardboard-baby. The playing card box equivalent to the Iron Man suit!" - Kim Anderson "Flat Pack is an amazing surprise to open any card routine! Can't wait to play with it!!" - Tobias Dostal "Flat Pack is truly something I will want to use every day. Clever in the mechanics and the construction. Absolutely hard hitting!" - Think Nguyen More info: https://www.murphysmagic.com/Product.aspx?id=61228 Best regards, Titanas

This looks pretty cool. Kind of eye popping.
I watched the Instagram vid, and even though I saw the load, really, I didn't see the load. I am smoked as to how the cards are loaded that quickly and smoothly and invisibly. Closest I've ever seen to this is multiple appearing card cases. (from flat wallet) which I still have in my possession, but I'm sure this works on a totally different principal.
The difficult must become easy, the easy beautiful and the beautiful magical.

I am really would like to see this performance in real time. I am not sure if the loading can be done smoothly in the real performance.

Jason, I have never met you, but I have to say you really managed this crowd well. I can understand the skepticism because of all the times people are let down by slick videos only to receive a DIY poo partly made, gimmick that in reality, does not work.
I have a pretty good idea what you have created and I am going to purchase it. Considering the time and energy you put in, I hope you patent it. Yes, I look at well crafted and thought out magic gimmicks as invention. Patent it you say!? Yes, I have actually spent time looking into this over at the US Patent Office in Alexandria, VA with examiners as well as on the phone. It may not protect against the Chinese but it will give you a way to get eBay to force them to remove a listing which infringes upon your patent. |

I'm sold this is great...My kind of magic is not just the effects themselves but how you get there too.I can just imagine walking around with this..ask to show somone a card trick..reach into your back pocket and pull this out..Your reaction is you've sat on your cards crushed the box and all of the cards must have spilled out..then o well and make the transition..
Do the same when having one of the cards signed ...lost your sharpie too ..golf pencil in wallet doesn't really show up on cards so transform that too.(Maxwells opener) |

What a beautiful deck production this is. Definitely has my interest. If there was a sci fi movie combined of magicians and secret agents, where David Blaine played the magician agent as Dave Bond. I picture him doing this. A Lot. This has plenty of praise for something that appears very special. And I for one, can’t wait to get my hands on it. It’s a very interesting concept. From my perspective, it looks a lot like a folding Shell for a deck.

This looks great but I'm curious about how fussy is the loading of the cards since that’s what really elevates the trick beyond eye candy.
I don't like fussy moves where i’m never sure if i’ll get it down. |

Jason, I am stunned with that instagram link you posted!
That type of transparency is very, VERY rare nowadays. You have no interest in hoodwinking anyone into a purchase by concealing key bits of the routine, nor buttering it up with flashy graphics and ooohs and aaaahs. Just you, stood infront of a mirror, multiple angles, so we can all see clearly what we're about to purchase. May I congratulate you on this, and may it hopefully be a benchmark that others will now follow in exactly how to release a product! I have made my purchase today on your transparency alone. Thank you. |

So this appears to be a folding deck shell. Seems much more practical. Ill wait for reviews, but looks promising!
