A medal is displayed in full view. Your spectator then selects a card by looking at a card from a face-up spread, cutting the deck, counting down to a card... whatever way you prefer. Then, the medal is shown with their selected card ENGRAVED within the medal and it can be handed out for examination. Fits in your pocket and resets in seconds. Comes in blue or red.

Looks like a magnetic connection which gives you a few to choose from. Perhaps could use a MPD? Not sure how many attachments the gong comes with.

Since the trick has red and blue versions, I'm guessing there's a gaff deck involved. I'm sure we can all think of the easiest way to do such a trick, so I really hope they're not charging $60 for a one-trick prop and a o** w** d***.

Guessing its a Koran style forcing deck (the way he shows the deck + card pumping) then he just pulls a disc which has the card on it out his pocket which magnetically attaches to the medal (you can see him doing the move at 2.52 in the vid) I imagine the discs are double sided too to save pocket space.
don't see how this is examinable though unless it is inset, unless one of the cards is printed on the medallion already in which case if they pick that card it can be handed out |

This is really cool, seems like it uses the cards from the 5221 Deck? However, how is any of that "mind reading"? Also, this is good but when working walk-around, how do you explain to people why the engraving keeps changing... People talk to each other when you're good.

Better yet would be letting us order these customized with different engraved front. "Mindreader of the year" is way too kitsch |

An entertaining, if convoluted, card reveal.

A deck is supplied with The Medal but if you have 5221 you will be even happier with this and have more options.
Everything is very well made and thought out making performance and reset very easy. The so called fishing required actually adds to the fun of the reveal. Normally you want any fishing to be a quick a possible but with this if you get it wrong every time it adds to the effect and comedy. Being repeatable and just as examinable if not more than certain gimmicked coins you could think of this really is great value for money, it really should be much more considering what you recieve. No refills are required, maybe just a new deck after hundreds of performances! I will also add that everything lines up so the reveal is not twisted on The Medal. I can't really think of anything negative to say about this, it could be played straight or as a comedy piece so can suit any performer.

Its a nice effect, the fact you'll need to carry an extra deck, spare pocket for the extras (if it does use discs) and also carry a medallion is a bit too much (so we're talking 2/3 pockets used?), but if you're doing a closeup show or an event for a smaller group of people and want some extra routines for when you come back for a second time this would be a nice addition.
