Did I miss anything? What is new here? It looks exactly like the principle Blake Vogt explains with his Acro Index Cards to do the effect how Justin Willman does it. For me it looks like a copy. If I'm wrong, correct me please.

Do you have a link to Willman's performance?

This is where I stick to effects like Magic Square. It's free, props can be provided as part of your contract, buy a new marker before you perform, and Presto! People have been entertained ...

In the video they explain how to fix it but as I said for me at least will be a little painful even if I think that even without that specific working and with a little modification then actual gimmick can be activated with a finger. About the visibility once you write on it should be quite invisible but anyway this is something for stage not for close up. Also… I am a little concerned in using sharpies to write on top as I have the feeling the will bleed through the gimmik… if anyone can suggest something will be appreciated… Gel Pen should work but will take ages to color with them!

I used a sharpie and it didn’t bleed through. And this will work with 2-3 meters distance. It’s a bit fragile, yes - you have to be careful. But it’s a great piece of mentalism (I won’t use any of the magicy things) and I really like it.

Hi!
Maybe you think that I am bragging! I thought the effect(Of dice and men) by my old and very good friend Tom Stone was great, but I told him many years ago that I did not like the use of the dice and I asked him why he did not use a flap card. He told me that it was to complicated. Then one year ago I found out about the Acro Index Cards by Blake Vogt. I bout 8 of them(expensive) and I put hem in plastic sleeves like you see in the Justin Willmans performance( I had not seen that performance, but thought it would work). I wonder if this effect use the same kind of flap. It is not a steel of Justins routine IMHO. |

A close up alternative for this would be to adapt an idea from John Allen’s very clever release, All or Nothing. (This, btw, has been one of my favourite and best purchases of the year so far.)

No - and not wanting to tempt fate, not a tough year. And if referring to my reference of this particular effect being one of my best purchases of the year I say this because out of all I have bought, I have performed this far more than any other recent purchase. It has been the most practical, intriguing and, importantly, entertaining. But time to get back on topic ... |

I asked because I HAVE All or Nothing and I don't understand what you are referring to... Do you refer to the general concept or to an alternative method to the flap card?

If it wasn't so expensive I would just throw it away. 4 of the 5 cards are made wrong with a big obvious ridge across the middle. Plastic pockets are very cheap. The f**p is 1/8th of an inch too big on each side so the square isn't square. And more. I paid to have it express shipped so that just adds insult to injury. Buy at your own risk. I think you are going to see a flood of bad reviews over the poor quality. There is no excuse at this price point. Purchase at your own risk. |

Ouch! Thanks for sharing, jetmagic. Sheesh, what a diappointment. Especially considering the price tag.
Please check regularly if you are becoming the type of magician Jerry Seinfeld jokes about. (This applies to mentalists as well.)

Then everything is fine. Just separate the site you turned over. After watching the instructions carefully this should all be clear. |
