Not sure if this is either latest or greatest, but wondering if anyone can shed some light on it? 😂 Pun intended.

I wonder if it's similar to Starlight by Chris Perrotta.

Just received. I would very much recommend just to witness the engineering behind it. Advert is accurate. Any card can be named, and you only use the one card.

How difficult is it to get the right card to show?

A little bit of memory work, but not too bad. I would say you want 5 seconds per card.

So this card can’t be examined, I’m guessing?

Something like this I don't think the card would have much heat on it- you are holding the card normally by one corner and flashing light though it. How durable is the card? Will it last?

Nice work. I am just finishing up a review of Gleam to post under the trick section of the Café. I am quite impressed with his engineering.
The complexity and thinking brings to mind Mitieu Bich's Spreadwave. |

This is a great concept, and it looks like William has applied some aspects of the method to create his more recent release Flash Change.
I wonder if Flash Change may even be the stronger of the two effects, because the revelation looks less more professional (like an actual playing card), and you get to repeat the effect with a different card. Obviously you can't do this with any named card, but with some forces the result is a real miracle.  |
