Seige,

Thanks for the answer, it's a little hard to follow the whole thread when it's so large.

Def in the shopping cart now!

Thank you

For reasons that have been explained, this looks better to me than KK, but has anyone compared it to Dick Barry's 52-on-1 Card Miracle? Here's the description:

"Mental masterpiece for the millennium. Spectator mentally selects ANY CARD from a 52-on-1 Jumbo card. You instantly produce a wallet which contains the spectator's MENTALLY SELECTED CARD! Comes complete with wallet, Jumbo card and much more."

I imagine the choice on the Jumbo card may be limited, but it still looks interesting....and much less $$.

ok, i've gone back a couple of pages but couldnt find the answer I'm looking for.

Do we required to wear a jacket for this?
Can the wallet fit my jeans pockets?
how many pockets are required?
Is this a space consuming wallet?

Why don't you just ask exactly how this trick is done?
I can just answer: No, yes, 1 and no, but it looks like you are really demanding a revealing answer. We are not here to reval magic tricks. If you are still a sceptic after all this discussion, don't buy it. Then you don't have to worry about so many things. Just let the rest of us enjoy the thrill involved with performing Bang On. :)

whats wrong with u people? I'm only asking a genuine questions. what's wrong with my questions? is it wrong to ask how much space that this trick requires? Not everyone in this world wears a jacket. Not everyone wears a slack pants.Seriously guys lets be more open minded and less sarcastic

I understand the questions, I also understand the others not wanting to reveal too much.... That's what magic is all about... I have a few ideas on how it is done, but I will be buying it shortly for sure, maybe I'm right, maybe not... I don't really care as I will be buying a trick with all the props needed, information and tips by the man himself and the secret will then be mine forever :)

even with an army of fifty two, now theres a blast from the past, and a good card to wallet, you'd be hard pressed to get change from £40 so this is still a bargin.

Please will everyone beware of exposure. I appreciate that there is a need to know various things about an effect before you can make an informed decision as to if it is something that will suit you, but talking about it openly in a forum is not the answer.

The review and the subsequent pages of info should be more than enough for anyone to make up there mind. If you want to know more, please speak to one of the dealers that sell it, or better still pop in and see one of them.

It is not fair to the creators of these effects to openly disect methods and methodology.

I'm afraid that when I mentioned 'fishing' for methods earlier in this thread, I did upset one member.

However, Bananafish is spot-on, we shouldn't discuss workings of effects in such detail. The point is, it's very easy for people to guess methods when digging and fishing is going on. A review is a review of the EFFECT, and it's the end result you should be interested in.
