Review:

Found this to be a fantastic trick. Very easy to master (was performing it on family members within an hour). Includes two gimmicks so you can do it on the top or bottom of the deck. The gimmick seems quite long lasting (for what it is) and extra material is included to repair it when it breaks. This could also be used to make new when the cards themselves wear out.

Negatives are you have to be careful with the spectator seeing the gimmick in brightly lit areas and it can sometimes cause more than one card to rise.

Cards are quite examinable as the gimmick is nearly invisible (even if you know what you're looking for) but don't risk it for too long!



Overall

8/10, a simple but effective trick, that can be performed in several different ways.

This is a nice version, just make sure you do the last bit or the card may snag on the way out.

Rising card does not get much better than this very easy, hands off and examinable.
