Thanks ID. How hard will it be for a hobbyist do you think? Any difficult sleights?

It shouldnt be too hard.. If you know your basic sleights and worked your way through royal road to card magic you will have no problems..

This one is mainly about presentation.. the sleights involved are none too tasking!!

It's a new card through window effect by Ellusionist. I think they have a link to it on their main page.

No its an old card effect (they even admit that) that any magician worth his salt could figure out by watching the edited trailer of the effect... even though the trailer misses out most of the performance.
Just another teenage magician hype "created" to sell.

Its also probably the fastest/quickest spreading magical effect on the file sharing networks and being touted on lots of forums and websites aimed at non magicians due to the hype created by the advertising.

Well, not so much a new effect, rather a new presentation of an old effect. The method is very simple, but it seems to hit very hard and have a great impact on the spectators.

I've not personally purchased this, but have heard both good and bad things about it. I think that the Cafe has a couple of threads regarding this effect. You may wish to have a look at those if you are looking for an unbiased review.

I purchased it and, though disappointed, am hesitant to post a review until I perform it a couple more times. It's a very simple concept. As mentioned before, if you have any experience with basic card manipulations, you can pick this trick up fairly quickly. The edited trailer is very... misleading, to say the least. The parts they removed would tip off every magician worth his or her salt.

...but to laymen, it may very well be effective. Pick your audiences, and play it up. It's an old effect, just recycled a bit.

Was going to just ask about this one :D. Was actually going to jump ahead of myself and buy it because my friend asked me to show them a CTW. Just going to wait for a review now :/.
