No he didn’t Bill he only mentioned Freddie after Marc told him he knew him . Luke had never even heard of Freddie allegedly based on the interview . Watch it again , he then said with have a Luca from Derby . I recorded it Bill and just watched it again , regards Gaz 😊

Also Colin didn’t write this either Bill , McLeod “F#!$ this battery powered B%“ . So I am pretty sure he would of known too that the thread was misspelled , that made up quote by someone was very quickly and quite rightly removed Gaz 😊

It’s a non-issue to me. I’m not going to go back and watch the whole video. Have to admit that I have never heard of Freddie Wilkinson either. Maybe it’s a UK thing. |

If Freddie has marketed anything it hasn’t made it onto my radar. To be fair these aren’t exactly household names, at least outside of their home countries, so if Luke wasn’t aware of them I don’t find that to be a big deal. If you do then that’s fine. I can understand why it would give you a chuckle. The bit about Colin misspelling Marc's name still makes no sense but so be it. I hate to derail this thread. This great effect deserves the attention. |

No what is funny Bill is that when Luke apparently picks 2 random guys online and they are well known by lots , one by Marc ie Freddie who is pretty much Marcs best mate and the next one is Luca Volpe who doesn’t even name Derby as his word ( he actually lives there , and says
that ) it’s funny trust me Gaz 😊 |

I received mine today. I like it. However, the gimmick I received seems to be made with some minor cosmetic issues. It doesn’t really take away how cool it is. But being someone that notices these little things, it kind of bothers me a little. I already performed it with success though. I just don’t feel like this will last me as long as I was hoping based on one of the cosmetic issues. Unless these were designed to have these specific cosmetic differences, I’ll list the two that stick out the most to me with the gimmick I received.
1. The gimmick does not line up like the rest of the cards provided. As if the cards used were glued and cut a bit shorter than the card stock that came with the gimmick. Think Sev. Deck. 2. This goes with the first one. In one of the seems/henges, the top layer of card has this overlap which creates this crimp effect in the gimmick causing it to not sit flush. Even with rubber-band. Well unless I manually force it. If someone were burning your hands, it may get noticed. Think long/short card. Ok now for the good news. I really like this. Very clever and methodical. I can see how well this will play out during performances and yes, for some it will replace tech peeks. At least some of them IMO. If I had any complaints outside of the cosmetic issues I mentioned, it would be the depth of the gimmick. And that’s really not a complaint. More of a preference. So on my initial reaction, I’m slightly disappointed with the cosmetic issues (unless these were intentional) but I’m excited to have this in hand and know that it’s something that will get used. A ton of people who bought this will have a blast with this. |

Obviously, I'm very curious to know if this is a flaw in the design, or if you just have a defective gimmick. From what you say above, it seems as though the issue is more than cosmetic. Does it also affect the handling? Mine arrives on Saturday. I'll post my thoughts over the weekend or early next week. Thanks again. |

Also, Craig Petty gave INSIDER a score of 100%, and his reviews are always honest. The more I think about it, the more I suspect that you may have a defective gimmick. But perhaps this is just wishful thinking. As I said, I'll weigh in as soon as I can.

Definitely too bulky for a front pocket IMO. Unless you have big pockets like slacks or something close to that which will allow you to have loos items. I’m not confident in jeans though..
As for the gimmick itself and after further inspection I’m under the impression that it’s definitely a defective gimmick I received. I’ll be returning mine for a replacement. The effect is absolutely worth it. I just unfortunately believe I received a bad unit. My review was intended to be positive and informative on my experience. I also agree with Craig. This is a must have. |

Lonnie, yours definitely sounds defective. Obviously it bothers you so why would it be intentional? Can’t imagine why things not lining up would be done intentionally.
Marc said he was making 400 of these. It’s hard to crank out 400 of anything by hand and have each one be perfect, I don’t care how much of a perfectionist you are. And I guarantee you that Murphy’s didn’t tell him to not rush and to take all the time he needs. What do you mean when you say depth of the gimmick? If you’re referring to the thickness then can’t you cut out additional cards to add to it? |

But As for my comment on possibly being intentional, I guess I need to elaborate a little better. What I meant by intentional was “as part of the design of the gimmick “ to maybe match the cards below when not aligned. ( no rubberband ) So if that area of the gimmick was intentionally designed like that, it would make sense. We are talking big “if” now. Plus, I would also know how hard and time consuming it is to make 400 copy’s of any gimmick. As I’ve shipped close to that amount to Saturn of a different gimmick I made. So I definitely did not assume he was rushed by anyone. As I’ve said multiple times. I like this. A lot. I plan on using it. A lot. |

Sorry. I forgot to answer the depth question. Yes. I guess I could cut and add more.
