Review
Firstly I will say I love the idea and the concept behind this effect. You really can build the effect by allowing the spectator to think about his choice and then letting him change his mind and really make it seem like you're trying to influence him. No matter, his choice will match yours.
The problem with this is the material used for the gimmick. Your card is certainly not examinable and I would be nervous about letting them see my card unless they were at a distance - especially in direct light. This is a real shame as it has the potential to be really good.
If anyone has any ideas on an alternative material I can use to improve this please let me know and I will give this a try.
