Review
A really good trick that I'm sure that when presented properly can produce astounding results - however, all the times i've shown anyone that's not slightly drunk, they've not really understood why it's amazing that their card is not in the wallet.

The wallet is a simple plastic affair, with one clear side and one opaque, and the cards are good ol bike pokers.

The effect is easy to do - you just gotta remember to reset it properly!

Overall
Erm... given the choice to have my time again, I probably wouldn't buy this as it's a bit 'random', if you know what I mean.

I'd give it, say, 6/10, purely on ease of use and I'm sure someone with a bit more experience than me could make use of it somewhere, out there, beneath the pale moonlight... (sorry, excuse me for bursting into song)

Got this effect today as a freebie & thought I'd add to the above review which I'm not quite so complimentary about.

I do like the effect but I have two niggles without, 1 is the possible reveal of a card which is meant to be kept in a pocket, which means you need to be set up before hand & also means you need to remember which pocket has which card plus I don't like cards in pockets cos keep them in front of back they always get damaged!

2, it involves memory work & I have enough memory work with other tricks & don't want more added, its not that hard to get it memorised just what with all the other stuff you may have to memorise. Onto ebay this shall go...

Nothing kinky about the thread title.
I think it should be made obligatory :twisted:

I suppose not Johnny Bravo.

But whenever I broach the subject with my girlfriend and suggest her hot girlfriend to join us she boo boos the idea. She thinks it would be more fun with another guy!!! (It would for her. Bloody selfish I say)

Women Huh!!!! Never satisfied! :D
