easy monte - mini review

Postby IAIN » Jul 15th, '08, 19:58



yes, a mini review cos i've only just got it...

anyway - from magictricks.co.uk - now they're up and running seem to be carrying on the good name of the site now carl fraser has moved on..

anyway, its the card/shell game that's been exposed many a time, but people still love it to death..i have a very soft spot for it...

right here: . see? thats my soft spot...

right, so, £24 may seem pricey - not for me, great for a little walk around i'd imagine, but for me i've got a nice little framing of psychologically jabbing people to go for certain things, objects, numbers...i wont bore you with it...

its not going to be what you expect though when you see it - and for that i love it - you get three caps/black little caps...and a little bag to keep it all in...

no magnets, no shims, no wires...minimal sleight of hand required - i can see how you could make very large bar bets with this, and with certain pen(s) you could mark the 10p that you hide under it...

i think there's a demo over there too..and how about this for good customer service - i got an email each step of the way - a personalised one too - AND with my reciept, a 15% off voucher for the delay...

im giggling inside with this, cos its a nice little carry around object, and you can have lots of fun with it...

8.5/10

if you read the second sentence in my review you'll see what to cut and paste...the demo is on the homepage... :)

please read all this in a pleasant soothing voice!

i've always got my funny head on, there's a demo on the homepage of magictricks, and you just click on the link next to it to read all about it...simple!

though i do admit, it is a bugbear of mine people asking for a link - mainly cos by the time they post something asking for it - they can usually google for it and get it in the same time... :twisted: :lol:

jsut buy the thing - its very good... :D

no - i insist you agree with me! :D

everyone's entitled to an opinion - i get your point too - its just what i get out of it, and what this effect lets me do...

i've half written my presentation already - i'll polish it over the next couple of weeks and see what reactions i get..but i like the possibilities this effect gives me...

which i wouldnt be able to do normally either due to the nature of this effect...but let us be careful on exposure too...

i prefered the red (or was it black) fox shells - i have a set of the turtle shells...very nice...

this set lets me frame it all as a psychological game more than anything - so its well worth the money to me...
