Maybe it's an early April Fool's Day Joke?

The spelling and grammatical errors make me think anything else offered in the product is not worth the money. I knkow I saw on a website that it was possible the creator of the effect doesn't speak English as his primary language, but Penguin should have stepped in and edited the demo video.

This is a shining example of the language thread elsewhere on the forum. Regardless of how good the product looks (in this particular case, it looks pretty bad), it just looks unprofessional.

I also have issue with the very blatant confusion tactic employed with this product. In the description, it specifically names David Forrest's Card Through Window effect, and the packaging is obviously an attempt to mislead inattentive shoppers. Compare the two cases:

It's quite obvious what is being done, here. The use of CTW (with identical font), similar design layouts. If the effect is sold as SCRAPER - why is it all the way at the bottom, completely away from the focal point. This kind of tactic is utterly deplorable.
