This does look pretty awesome, like a visual effect camera trick.
In the beginning, I thought it was an impromptu effect but after reading the blurb it makes me happy that this is a gimmick as it will be super easy to do.
Let me know guys what you are thinking of it.

I've not watched the full tutorial yet, just a walk through of how the gimmick works. The mechanics of the gimmick are smart, and definitely looked fine for beginners.

I'm curious about the presentation around the distorted queen as she changes, that's not really focused on in the trailer much..

Please let this be a good as this looks

I look forward to the reviews. Who's the duty Wingman this week? Prince?

Hahahahahaha 👍🏼

Effects with this sort of plot tend to flop, however, it looks badass and I am looking forward to some reviews!

Is it just me or is it looking dead obvious?

Wow! Very visual. This looks awesome! Cole, calling you tomorrow!!

Looks great on the vid... no doubt about it. Looking forward to reviews along with a few more details regarding angles, etc.

This looks like the opposite of this trick - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAvfqvvUxQY

I wonder what ever happened to G?

So who picked this up?

Anyone notice they never did show the full card before the guy got into the 'move'?

Which is why you always wait for a review from one of the trusted Wingmen here.

Any review?

Or what about "Imagine" http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S12629

We got these in stock the other day and I'm pleased to say the gimmick is ready made to go right out of the packet.

The change is easy to do and angles are good, you need to be aware of them but your hand covers all the dirty work when its done.

The handling is quite easy requiring only basic card handling.

Ok I caved in, again. Ordered. Get packing Mark.

Kind of wish I had released this version in 2010 now http://youtu.be/BMvT7tTQ7AI

OK, so I ended up getting this and overall I do like it. Its just as visual as the trailer and the full routine looks very fair- no fishy moves.

The gimmick is good quality, though you may want to be aware of your lighting or take a step back before doing the change to better hide parts of the gimmicks, but its absolutely a close up effect.

Its very nice to see multiple real world uncut performances on the tutorial video- something that seems to be lacking with a lot of releases these days.

Its easy to do, though there is a little bit of sleight of hand involved to get the gimmick out of play.

Personally, I didn't like that in the routine, the card changes color to blue backed, but that is not necessary. I also didn't like that the Queen "smudges" during the transformation as personally, it screams gimmick to me but I can see why some may like it. I honestly just split a card and glued it over the smudge so it looks normal on mine.

Is it worth it? Well I recommend checking out M.O.T.H. by Lyndon Jugalbot (http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/3936) as for $1 you can get a very similar looking effect with a gimmick. The method is not quite the same as Alcardmy and its honestly not as good, but its a much cheaper alternative if you want to achieve such a visual change with a gimmick doing most of the work for you. With that said, if the trailer for Alcardmy looked appealing to you, I think you will be pleased with the product and the quality.
