I bought this today, and i can officially say that it is by far the best CTW effect i have ever owned! It is also the only CTW effect ive ever owned but it is still great! The information in the download is all you need to be able to perform this anywhere, anytime...... if you have a window and a deck of cards at hand!

Delude - Going in the order of the download that i got, Garcia says that he prefers the 2nd gimmicked version.

yeah - the "household" gimmick rather than "magician" gimmick

is the gimmicked version easy to carry around? like it fits with the rest of the deck of cards or it fits in the wallet? or is it like a shove in pockets gimmick?

Both gimmicks are easy to carry around. The one that Daniel Garcia prefers is something that most people carry around everyday anyway!

I own this, and am pleased with it - despite being simple I was not disappointed with the instructions at all.

I think "gimmicked" is a bit misleading - sounds like some chunky piece of gear you have to lug around and do your best to conceal...! The "gimmick" that DG favours is so normal and inconspicuous that no one will question it even though they look right at it and acknowledge it, it's really quite beautiful! I prefer this method because after some experimentation with the "impromptu" method, it isn't as reliable and if it failed it could really mess things up.

...but as mentioned, both are really "impromptu", as the gimmicked takes no more preparation (ie. none, really), you just have to carry something common and totally unsuspicious.

I can not perform this trick for various reasons. (Rest of post deleted by Mods as it's trading of inappropriate items as well as being outside the Approved Area)

Sorry to hear you can't use Kaos... but you should probably read the rules as well. Not only are you trading outside the trade area, but DVD trades are not allowed either.

Im glad somone has post a review on this trick, for I have been searching for one. I was thinking of buying this trick and I saw a full preformance done by Daniel Garcia yesterday but I figured it out, so I was thinking. Would this trick be okay for a smart spectator?

as long as you are confident with your slights, you should be fine. but if you have a full out heckler, make sure you dont mess up ANY slights. :D
