The act of putting the cards on the hands and asking them to bring the hands together will probably eliminate out the misalignment issue too . Their hands won't be able to touch fully when the cards are placed flat on the palm , when the cards don't touch side to side with each other , it won't be very noticeable that the cards aren't aligned , will look better . And the presentation itself is really good too . Nice thinking , Thank you .

This is a very clever and well thought out method. I like the routine suggestion by decomposed too. This is the best thing I've seen for a while. Well done Nefesch!

Just made a major purchase and playing the wait game. After that arrives I may get this. And that is just because of mindmesser dropping his nicety in here. Would love to hear some real world comments from anyone who uses it.

Are all the sets that have been released misaligned, or is this only the case with some of them?
Effect looks great but would prefer if Mona isn't missing an eye |

Hey!
I am happy to hear that my review and my walk around handling were helpful. Sean: they are not misaligned, they are mistrimmed, your spectator's wont notice it and you will only notice it when the cards are placed together. But answering your question: I believe they are all like that. For those of you who don't know me, I work a lot on private events and do a lot of walk around. To me this effect is perfect for my working environment because: it packs small (everything inside a small envelope) you can always carry it with you, it is visual, easy to execute, it resets instantly and it speaks by itself. There are a lot of mentalism routines that require a post-effect explanation or a long build up; Opus on the other hand builds by it self and requires no post debrief. Now, if you have worked walk around on private events, you know how important it is to make yourself noticed, to build a small crowd that will start spreading the voice that you are in the venue. So, I am even thinking on purchasing the Vetruvian Version (if ever available) and combine both of the designs. The routine would go like this: 8 cards are mixed by 4 spectators The 4 spectators take all the decisions together (With this I am building a small crowd in the venue) The spectators decide who to pair with, so now you end up with two spectators on your left and two spectators on your right. They have their palms faced up The cards are placed on their palms according with their decisions. When the cards are turned over, you have a perfect match on your left (monalisa) and a perfect match on your right (vetruvian) Not only the spectators took the right decisions to make the match perfect, they also made the perfect decision of who to pair with. And now you have: 4 people who you already performed to, plus all the people around you that saw your performance, you have introduced yourself and what you do without giving a big explanation. From here on you can perform things that need more build up, because people have already seen you and they know what you are up to. It is just a matter of altering a little the method. My 2 cents Jack |

Thanks Jack for taking the time to post your thoughts, handling etc - if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have bought this (boy there are some serial complainers on here - lol) - but I'm really pleased I did!
Cheers again Bud. Billy |

1KJ Inner circle Warning: We will run out of new tricks in 4385 Posts |
OK, I received it and I have watched the entire video. I haven't performed this yet, but here is my brief review:
THE CARDS: I don't see any problem with the cards from a practical perspective. I agree with mindmesser that perhaps they were cut a tiny bit off. Personally, I don't see this as being a problem AT ALL. I don't think any participant is going to notice because there is going to be a little gap between the cards anyway. The cards are extremely good quality. THE METHOD: Very clever, I like it a lot! I have seen thousands of magic effects and as far as I can recall, this is pretty unique and clever. It is something that you will need to learn. This is not something you will be performing five minutes after watching it. However, if you are willing to put in an hour to watch the video and maybe another half hour to practicing it, you should be ready. PERFORMANCE LIMITATIONS: This could be performed completely surrounded. As someone said earlier, it could be performed in the hands of a couple volunteers (great idea for walkaround!). I would suggest that if you do it in walk-around, have a third person hold the envelope or have one of the two put the envelope in their pocket. Once you learn the method, it isn't that hard. There aren't any difficult moves. The most difficult part of it is getting the mental part down. FINAL THOUGHTS: I definitely recommend this! If you are concerned about the cards, perhaps he will release the Davinci Man version. However, once you know the method to this, you could make your own cards if you are so inclined. This was definitely a very good purchase, I am very happy! KJ |

BTW, that was mindmesser who suggested the alternate walk-around handling. Very good suggestion!

Cut a tiny bit off? I suggest you book yourself an appointment with the optician. Take your one-eyed Mona Lisa trick with you. It'll get a laugh if nothing else.
