It is a great, real world worker! Having made to the decision to perform 'regular' magic again this was an effect i could not turn down. An essential purchase for the strolling magician.

Also note that Petty and Penn Love it too! If it was not practical for real world work i would not recommend it.

Seems none of us can help ourselves!

Can anyone confirm - is it essentially the same as the non-DVD version (which is half the price)? Or are there extra routines on the DVD? I always prefer printed instructions anyway, so I might be tempted to have a punt on it...

I'm practising it at the moment and my 'brief' review is:

- Sleights very easy to do
- Needs a personality and some balls to pass it off (there are multiple discrepancies, but you shouldn't worry about them if you get the performance right)
- It's quite an involved routine to learn. I learn routines best by writing the sequence down and reached over 18 steps (without the optional finale)
- You do need a pocket

Other than that it is going to slay 'em - but it needs performing skills.

I would agree with Dave and Craig's review - it is a 98% effect, but it is something for an experienced worker.

Nope - I resisted...and got Dan Harlan's Switchblade instead (similar routining, but a much more versatile gimmick, from what I can see :wink: ) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1r1GoCLHdg

...Plus I figured that either you or Ste would crack first :lol:
