It's like Harry just discovered multiple outs and then released the first trick he thought up using the principle. Alakazam has been hitting them out of the park recently but this is a strike.

Once again I find it hard to believe that "named" magicians are giving this positive reviews. It's an awful release.
If you like multiple outs try this. A great product well thought out and entertaining for lay people. https://billabbottmagic.com/products/pic......ck-olson Much better value for money and workable unlike this release. |

Alakazam are a great online magic shop I purchase most of my effects from them,BUT this is way overpriced like a previous pòst said you can pick up a leather card holder for less than a fiver from EBay or Amazon and stickers for 99p it's pretty obvious what's going on and using the premise you can have this £20 note if I cannot predict which card you are going to choose makes it a strong effect but come on £30 guys !!!!!! in truth only the newish hobbyists are going to purchase it most of us who like it will make our own up

After some thought I've upped this to six cards at the start....seems much stronger to me now.

A three-way multiple-out for thirty quid? They are taking the proverbial.
This isn't even all that magical. I've never done B'Wave because it's just a choice of four. Now we are hoping for amazement for guessing right out of three. Who ARE the people in the reviews giving this five stars? I feel sorry for their audiences. |

They nearly lost their minds praising Swindle which is a choice of 2.

Bwave is a classic of close up magic and you are missing a trick if you don’t perform that . It may be a 1 in 4 but it’s perceived so much stronger with the 2 kickers it has . It’s a great little opener and let’s face it people rave about which hand effects which are a 50/50 chance . Layer that correctly though and it absolutely kills too but I agree this effect advertised here looks very lame Gaz 😊

CardGuyMike Special user 787 Posts |
I agree that Bwave and many of its variations is a truly classic, magical effect. And yeah the kickers really elevate it. John Bannon's B'rainiac is one of my all time favorites.
I have never understood the appeal of 50/50 effects like Swindle or "which hand". And I guess it must just be me given the huge number of sometimes pricey gimmicks that let you do "which hand". Anyhow, this release is very underwhelming to me as well. |

Ross W Inner circle UK 1779 Posts |
I get the arguments in favour of B'wave. It's probably just me.
Which Hand? effects are only impressive with multiple repeats. (And Swindle? Words fail me: why would ANYONE do this?) |
|||||||||
Gaz Lawrence Inner circle 5991 Posts |
Yes I agree Ross you do need repeats with which hand effects and a kicker premonition reveal imho . I agree swindle doesn’t do that either but sometimes the slow building of the chances from luck , coincidence to the dam right impossible is a good way to frame a little set of routines imo Gaz 😊

Correct Martin in the routine I do which is 3 phases the odds of being correct in succession is 7/1 or 14.28 % .
So the risk of failure hence then is 86% or as near dam it . Then with an added kicker makes it seem impossible to the audience imo Gaz 😊 . Anyway back on topic for this effect 😉 |
