It says difficulty level is intermediate, although in the description it makes it seem easy. It certainly looked easy in the video.

I will personally don't use with the head and tails premise as I work with people of various languages.
If they come blank, I will color inside and use three colors disks. (or symbols)

That may be challenging Luca, as it seems that the slips are kept slightly open.
That can fly when there is writing on the slips, but may be harder to disguise if there are colours... |

The heat will be so heavy on the predictions that they would have to be examinable at the end. If they are examinable, game changer here. If not, great effect with a ton of immediate cleanup work needed. I am a huge fan of his gimmicks so will probably buy either way but definitely hoping they are examinable as they then elevate to a goto effect for me.

It's very unlikely they are examinable, and the amount of heat put on them will be in direct proportion to the attitude of the performer (and how they decide to routine and handle the props).
I can see experienced performers showing the messages as an afterthought, or as a prelude to a bigger effect. Two examples of how heat can be taken away. |

And for me it does not even look innocent in the trailer... how much less in reality?!?

These are paper and not coins or brass boxes so they cannot lock to the point of being examinable. But why would specs want to examine them if they believe they are just slips of paper. I think as magicians we get to used to gimmicks and multiple outs. These are things laymen are not so attuned to.
AFA repeating the effect, we must remember that we perform in different situations. If you’re doing a formal show you will probably have a longer and more involved presentation which then leads into another effect. Whereas doing this for the boys down at the pub it would likely be more barebones and you quite often are asked to show this person or that person. Yes, I know you don’t “have” to but it’s fun to be able to. This could be one of those effects where the more times they see it the more confounded they become. I personally enjoy that type of situation. If you’re a performer who enjoys saying no to every request so you can feel that you’re in control then repeating the effect is probably not a big deal to you. Different horses for courses but I think that gets overlooked a lot of times. |

Performing this one time to an audience with only three reveals- I am not seeing the WOW factor at all. Maybe people are more easily entertained than I thought. 😆
And at $35 we are still seeing magicians fooled too.
How many magicians does it take to change a lightbulb? Regardless, for magicians darkness is a time for d'lite.

I think it can be hammed up as a pretty impressive influence or prediction effect...

As we all know the more reveals the better the effect ;-) But honestly you could make a great presentation about the first coin beeing thrown at random (your prediction does not match because you can't predict randomness. Second coin is thrown and the spectator decides if he switches or does not. prediction matches. Third coin is not thrown and the spectator decides how its positioned. prediction matches of course. Nice possibilities to "influence" the choices of a spectator with things you say: "first coin is heads so mkst people don't switch" "Second coin is heads too so most people decide to go with tails" |

To me removing pre printed/prepared scraps of paper to do and effect to me screams gimmicked paper. Would it not be more "normal" , in this case to write predictions on papers as part of the performance. |

No, not really.
Only magicians scream about papers with writing on them not being what they seem. |

Having said that, if the gimmicks are poorly made (or don't look innocent), everybody will be suspicious...

Understood, magicmind.
But if you are showing someone some magic, why wouldn't you have something written down on a slip of paper in your wallet? I've seen magicians bring out far odder things from their pockets! |

Not fishing, but not sure of two things. Can it be repeated? It is too perfect, as a standalone, as performed in that demo. Also, could this demo be the best possible outcome?

You can mimic writing in the paper with a marker that matches the ink used. I don’t think that is necessary especially for table hopping. You are not going to write on new slips of paper the same words each time. Also, all you have to say, if you are concerned about using pre written slips of paper, that you have shown this many times as an experiment in randomness or coincidence or influence (however you want to phase it) and proceed. This justifies using ore written slips of paper.
