Just a note, I will be selecting a random person that I will show Wolverine Formula to, as so they can give a pre-release review of it so everyone can get an outsiders view on how they like the effect. This person is not going to be one that I am associated with as to take any bias out of the review. This is part of my new plan to help the customer not just take their money with hyped up claims from creators and people that are associated with them, and also to get rid of misleading demos, because we all know that we have all been disappointed after we purchased an effect that was misleading in either the ad copy or the demo. So keep updated for a review on this in the near future.
P.S. Please don't fill this thread with pick me posts. The person has already been chosen and a PM sent out. So stay tuned.... Thanks, JJ |

Jordon Johnson: The Wolverine Formula: Pre Release Review
To begin with, I should point out the Jordan put together a very in-depth video which he sent to me. This review will be about the effects themselves but I cannot comment on the quality of the product just yet. Although this is the case, the video sent to me was fantastically in depth so I’m guessing the DVD will be fantastic. Wolverine Formula with a card: Well this one was a surprise to me. I’m not sure what I was expecting method wise but it surly wasn’t this. The method is clever, cunning and VERY well thought out. Everything has been carefully considered and developed. I was taken through the thinking behind the effect and shown how and why it is being constructed the way it is. The gimmick itself is invisible and completely undetectable. As I followed along with the DVD, I doubted how it would pan out at the end, but the finished product is unbelievably deceptive. What’s so “ballsey” about this effect is the gimmick is right in front of the spectator the whole time but they will never find it. Under intense NASA style inspection, it will not be found. Everything is examined before and after and it really can be handed out straight after the effect. Now, although this may seem well and good, it comes at a price. The price is your time. I can already hear the moans from magicians saying how long these take to construct. The first time I made the first gimmick, it took me a while granted. Since then I have made many more and mow have it down to minutes. You will need to construct a new gimmick each time you perform the effect and carry them on you but it’s really not a big deal. The effect is well worth the effort. I now have it down to 5 minutes per gimmick which I don’t think is bad at all. In performance, this works beautifully. The card is fairly examined before hand, given away at the end and completely stuns the spectator. What I like the most about this is the use of ordinary props, a borrowed pen and a normal playing card. I'm sure when doing a “pen thru” effect with perhaps a gimmicked pen, some smart *** spectator asks you to use there pen. Guess what? Now you can! I think this is a winner and I think people will like and use this often. My only note would say, practice making the gimmicks and get it down quickly. Wolverine Formula with a bill: This version of the effect particularly excited me as there are so many more options. To my utter upset, turns out this was tailored to American bills. However, the way Jordan has designed the effect; it’s very easily adapted to most currencies. I created mine from a £5 note. Jordan’s method is very similar to the card version but you have to opportunity to make only one gimmick for hundreds of performances! That’s right, you make one gimmick and you can reuse it. The gimmick takes about 2 minutes to make and is just as deceptive. Jordan also talked about the signing of the bill and the non signing of the bill. He gives you options of handing it back out to the spectator. The only problem I have with this is they will be spending it. You’ll understand when you see the video but I have the funny image of some poor shop owner being rather concerned about the bill. However, this is a very minor thing and I don’t think matters at all. This version in performance is absolutely hilarious. Unlike most other pen through bills, the pure tear in the bill really freaks people out. Unlike most other Pen Thru Bills I perform, people find this one more un-nerving and people get genuinely upset by it. It’s so believable to think that the pen has punctured the bill because there is no possible way that the pen couldn’t have done the damage. The sum up: Overall I believe that The Wolverine formula will impress and get the reactions you really want. I also think that a card and bill aren’t where the Formula ends. I think this could be used in many other situations and I think people will have the opportunity to use the same methodology in different ways. I think it’s a winner and people will love the deceptiveness of it. All I have left to do is congratulate Jordan on a fantastic effect. This one will tear you up from the inside out! Best Wishes, JamieD

Thanks for the interest guys! I'm not for sure on the price so don't hold me to it, but we are probably looking at around $24.95 with the card, the bill, and a business card version taught. As more things unravel I will keep you posted.

You should sell this to Copperfield brother.
AND please don't sell it for 24.95. I'd buy this for 59.95. Seriously. Keep it away from youtube and co.

I feel the description on Hocus Pocus does not do justice to the trick as I saw it on video (youtube); Which look miraculous. Also I wonder why there is no video on hocus pocus !
Anyway, I hope there will be some review coming... Nicolas |
