I don't even want a real review I just want to know if it does what it says it does, and in the way it says it does.

Anyone own it?

I haven't seen a review on this, but I have seen some pix on a different site that clearly shows the gimmick. (Check out the 3rd picture)

My first reaction was. this is precisely how I thought it would be done.
My second was, If I showed this to my friends some would think the same way and ask (some wouldn't even ask) to see the deck.
My third reaction was, would I want to perform several regular card tricks with this gaffed box in my hands? Worse... at some point you have to put down the box, and if the picture is accurate then the gaff would be visible to anyone closer than 10 feet!

I'm sure that if the trick appeals to you, you can easily swap it out for a regular deck. I would, like you, still like to see a review from someone who has purchased it.

im not sure that the sugested routine would work.
I imagine this item is best used on stage or caberet , and never in close up. this is something that just isnt made clear.

what thought i did have, is that you could use this in conjunction with an appearing card castle.
one side of the stage, is a table with the stack of card boxes, the other.. empty.
you cover up the empty table with a cloth, then the stack.
presto.. the stack of cards has gone, and the cards appear in the shape of a castle.
