Available from Penguin Magic here

..... well, what can I say - watch the vid and what do you think ??

It certainly seems interesting :shock: .

Does anybody have this, or is anyone intending to get this as I'd certainly like a review of this??

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

Wow. Looking good.
Would also like to see a review (when it is out), cause I could be very tempted.

Looks too good to be true! :D

Which is exactly why I am going to be wary of this one...

Extremely visual - but ...

... extremly angle sensitive as wel (you have to ensure an exact frontal view);
... because of this it's definitivly NOT usable in closeup situations;
... spectators have to stand in quite a distance;
... you have to add the gimmick to the deck - and remove it of course afterwards;
...

A brilliant effect for demo videos.

Cheers

Hmmmm, I had similar thoughts as well, but how does one confirm these hypotheses?

Thomas,
Do you speak from genuine experience of using the Gimmick or is it just what you think?
I have this on order from the USA - as soon as it lands I will put
it thru its paces and post a full review.
Watch this space!

Do it magicj,

I was looking at this product and umming and arring for ages. In the end i opted for the WOW 2.0 (which should arrive today) :)

Ill look forward to reading your review.

Can you plaease mention about the limitations on angles? what happens if once you set the deck, someone walks in the room behind the intended performance angle??

Cheers,

Alec
