I just received an email from Sanders FX about his latest release "Tagged". After reading the write up and watching the trailer, I have to say it really looks good. But for those of us who are familiar with his effects, this comes as no surprise. Two questions come to my mind. Can the chain be worn by a spectator and still have the card impale itself onto the chain and can the card be signed? See below for the write up or here is a link for his web site: http://www.sandersfx.com/

Effect:
From the mind of Cameron Owen, with revised handlings, tips and variations by Richard Sanders, comes the ultimate street magic effect!

A card is selected and then shuffled back into the pack.
The impossible begins to unfold...as you draw attention the the dog tag chain hanging from your neck. It is ordinary and ungimmicked. You begin to slowly wave the deck of cards around the dog tag chain...and then suddenly, the selected card leaps from the pack and impales itself onto the chain!

Now get ready for the best part. There are no slits or tears in the card and the chain is solid. The spectator can totally examine everything.
The two objects are permanently linked.
This is an intellectual impossibility!

Tagged can be performed as a stand alone effect or as the perfect closer to your card routine!



Key Points:

Completely self contained illusion

NO MAGNETS or sticky stuff

Use any deck

Use any dog tag chain
Everything is totally examinable

Angle-proof penetration

The perfect closer to any card routine

I believe you cannot have spectator wear chain, but looks as if it will be a great effect if done properly.

Does this effect comes with the chain or do I have to get it myself?

It comes with everything you need to do Tagged.

Thanks for the reply.

From the video this seems to be a great effect to invest in. I will definately get one.

We have had great response from our customers regarding Tagged. We have sold a number of them, and people really like the impact.

I had the chance to play a bit with it and am quite impressed. Easy to do, plays well and impacts hard.

I just saw the demo......wow!
Looks pretty awesome I must say.

Does anyone have Tagged by Richard Sanders? The demo video looks really great and I am interested in someone that would share a review of this item.

Thanks and have a nice day,

I just bought tagged this weekend It's very easy to do

I highly recomend it.

We have been demoing it a lot and once people see it, its a must have item.

It is pretty easy to do, does not require knuckle busting moves.

The angles are great when doing it.

Review-wise, its hard to get into details without exposure - but the instruction is very clear and precise. Easy to follow.

The effect plays well and can be done very impromptu with a little thought.

I don't think anyone has not bought it yet after seeing it in person.

Web sales of it have also been good - it seems like an effect that is in demand.

Tagged is great if it suits your image/attire. Very easy on the sleight of hand and hard hitting.

This is Rich from the "other" Tagged:)

I actually received Richard's Tagged today and it is sweet! I'm digging that everything he seems to do is so visual.

Funny thing, I'm doing a show for Home Depot this weekend and was planning on a few effects with items from the store... Some serious mentalism as I know the store really well, a couple light bulb effect, etc, etc. HERES ON MORE! I love the clean handling and hard hitting visual impact. I CANT WAIT to do this on some people after a little practice and polish.

This is clear and easy to learn from Richard and the effect is really fun to do in a mirror:) I love this type of stuff!
THANKS Richard! Another great product:):)

Home Depot also sells the right chains if anyone is interested in others, gold ones too.

We just got it today and already got one order.

WOW! This is incredible, you will fool yourself doing this one, it is brilliant and extremely easy to do, it may seem too easy! This is awesome!

Great looking trick, and not even expansive to buy.

Wow. After all the reviews here and seeing the video, I'm ordering one today! I'll let you know how it goes when I get it.

You won't regret it, gtrmike! Tagged is an awesome effect that gets strong reactions, and is very easy to do. I love this effect, and I'm not that big of a card guy..lol.

Can the card be signed?
