hmm if you really had it then you would be able to figure it out, looks like another one trying to get secrets to me.

As you bought the trick, you should have received everything that is needed to achieve the effect. It should be easy enough to work it out.

Turtle.

Did you buy the trick cheap without knowing anything about the illusion?

Did you buy the trick knowing what the illusion was but can't figure out how it works?

Either way, if you look up what the effect is for this trick and work backwards, thinking about what came in the packaging then it shouldn't be too difficult to work things out.

It's all well and good asking for advice on the handling of a trick in order to refine what you're doing but too many people seem to be trying to take the easy approach in asking for everything to be revealed.

Apply some thought first if you are genuinely stuck and then word your question to show that you really do have the trick. Then, and only then may you get someone who's willing to provide some help.

As everyone has said time and time again - do not expect any revelations

lol. First I am going to reveal...I have no idea how this trick is done. Nor have I ever seen it. I have thought about buying it though (strangely!!). I am not worried how it's done, but does it look any good? Has anyone on here used this to good effect? And is it examinable?

It is a good effect (IMHO) but, like most things, takes lots of practice. The card is examinable by the spectator.

this is probably the best trick ive got
it took me about 20 hours to perfect but then again im a slow learner

you have to have a black background and it takes a lot of practice to make it examinable

also it has some thing to do with your ear

a good tip is to spin it back wards 1 in every 2 times to make it last longer


you really need to have the instructions to do this to its best effect
