Is this trick suitable for beginners? I know you have the difficulty system, but is that a difficulty system specifically for magicians, or a general one for everyone? I mean, let's say a trick gets a '1', would it be easy to do for magicians, but rather hard for someone like me who is a beginner?

This trick looks amazing, but I don't want to buy it if it's going to be way out of my league.

The moves are rather standard ones and are ones you should be learning anyway. If you did struggle at first it would not really take that long to learn.

Hi Paul, it arrived this week, I'm finding it a tad difficult, any chance you could send me that link?

Just wanted to say that the link you sent me Paul has proved very helpful, the sleights are simple and just require some practice. The trick is coming along very nicely and I look forward to performing it.

Thanks for a great trick.
