Yeah but Gabriel Also stated the below a few posts back. Which is not the same thing as "The participant freely and secretly shuffles the cups as much as he wants." as the copy states.

If it is 'A game with the Devil, why wouldn't there be 'pointless instructions'? Wouldn't good ol Esau Scratch try to influence things to bring about the winning results to the game master?
With just the one review available, I do not think I will allow that to influence my decision of purchasing in the near future... One person's junk drawer item may be another persons highlight. I know I have some stuff in my drawer of poor, yet I have seen others doing minor miracles with some of those things. I appreciate that Gabriel popped on here to share more information. |

^ I agree with you 100% on all points. I have no problem with some "pointless instructions"...just don't try to sell it as something else is all.

I will definitely be picking this one up. I’m not sure which of the effects Gabriel performed on me but I do remember being impressed by it.

I hope that I will review it soon. But if Mark loved it, I am pretty sure that this must become something that I am going to use.

I think more importantly my wife was impressed and it takes a lot to impress her because she sees so much Mentalism that she is long since over it. Mind you it could have been Gabriel’s French accent and cheeky smile that impressed her

Sending this sucker back....Like what you see in the trailer? You cant do that...Not without a bunch of other stuff - "move these 2 here, now these 2 there, move this one here" etc...i wont put a spectator through the confusion....Misleading trailer, aka - lies

Oof.
So dman,,, even this clarification that Gabriel made to the guy in the Penguin review is false? "Please look at the 5th routine > The 4 Devil's Cups < This is the one where the participant hides the die behind your back under any cup and can mix everything up as he likes" There still needs to be all that instruction you mentioned? that's serious bs if so. |

So, how would you fix the sales page at Penguin?

I'd start by not lying.

I've not seen this release, but judging from my experience with Gabriel's past work, I'm sure I wouldn't have any difficulty making this item work for me. It's a shame if this has actually been discontinued. Based on Gabriel's previous work, I have difficulty imagining that this could be bad enough to warrant such action.

My experience with Penguin is that they list something discontinued on new releases when they don’t have a restock date when its sold out. Most of the time it pops back up later with an expected restock date, sometimes also a pre-order option.
