Initial Thoughts: I have owned pretty much every card through window on the market so I was excited to know there was yet another to spend my hard earned wages on. There has been lot of comparison between this card through window and the one released by David Stone and I can tell you as someone that owns both that they are completely different effects and very different methods. I like this.

After Playing for a while: if you want to have a signed card appear in place of a random card on the other side of a window this is a very good way of doing it. The main gimmick operates very smoothly and reliably and allows you to focus on the presentation.

Please be aware that this isn’t a ‘true’ card through window. A random card is stuck on the outside of the glass and that card changes to the signed card when the magician and spectator are both on the inside of the glass. Or vice versa.

First Performance: Although I perform mainly to lay people, with this being a card through window I just had to show a magician. The guy that I chose owns ‘window’ by David Stone and I told him that I have a new presentation for it. I then proceeded to perform the effect but with a signed card.

Overall Audience Reaction: This went down really well and the fact that the card is signed makes it truly impossible.

Pros: Well made, everything included, good teaching.

Cons: Not a ‘true’ card through window.

Value for Money: One of the best ‘card through windows’ I own.
