The Effect
From Site:
Imagine being able to show your hand completely empty, then borrow a pen and write the word coin on your finger. With the shake of your hand the word coin transforms into a real coin. Or you approach a group of spectators show your hand to have nothing on it and suddenly your name appears on your finger. These are only some of the unlimited possibilities that you can do with the X Finger principle.

Review
Ok, so hype being what it is... that is almost exclusively ALL this is. I realize that the vast majority of you probably already know this from simply watching the promo. However us noobs who aren't familiar with slights might get sucked in (I did).
Needless to say that even after I learned it and mastered it (about 2 hours worth of work in reality) anyone I performed it for figured it out fairly quickly. Now it may work better in a bar or busy setting but these were just casual encounters at my home or after dinner. Any time to focus on it and its a lost caused.
Overall
While not worthless if you know NO slights its a pretty easy one to master it has little practical value. You can thank Ellusion for over hyping and under delivering again.
I mostly wrote this because talkmagic comes up a lot in google for trick reviews. Therefore to be complete here it is.
I give it a 1 out of 10.
