No worries Midge - bear in mind we're all Mentalists and we can see through stars & stuff!! (Mandrake now lowers his brows and adpots a Max Maven persona. Also trips over Aardvark and goes hurtling out of the window into the cabbage patch - next posting will be on the topic of Magic as applied to 'Ground Force').

Ok thought I'd add my little review of this trick.

Effect has already been well covered.

Difficulty: I agree with a 1/5 Took me a couple of minutes to get the hang of it.

I really liked this, so very simple. I actually did it about 12 times on one person, each time they of course guessed wrong and they were really pulling their hair out.

I've now tried it out on 3 people and none of them had any clue how they were being "conned"

Very good, cheers Tom.

when this arrived i thought 'man - the handling of the cards is gonna make people suspicious'.. but it DOESN'T... AT ALL... i can't believe how effective this is... really, really, really easy but always get a jawdrop reaction... i usually preface the trick by saying 'all that body language reading that derren brown does - it's surprisingly easy... here, let me show you'...

total bargain - BUY THIS!

I've just read the review - but no sign of it on emagic!

Can I get this anywhere else guys? Is it under a different name?

As Tom is now fast asleep - the link
and now released commercially along with another gem called Trading Places - see http://www.emagictricks.co.uk/product_i ... ts_id=4645.

was last November and I guess things have changed since then. Neither 50/50 nor Trading Places are available from emagictricks at the moment by the look of it. Not sure if Tom can supply this himself as he's a long way away.
