Got this the other day and have been playing with it for 2 days. This is a pretty cool illusion. The cards are nicely made and seem somewhat durable. I feel for $30.00 the cards should be nicely made! There are no sleights. There is a turnover move, but that's all it is- just a turnover move- not hard. The moves are easy to learn and when you get them down- I found myself repeating this effect for myself as it is pretty neat to watch in action. I have not performed it for anyone yet, so I do not know what kind of reactions it will get.
So for $30.00- without performing it for a spectator, I cannot say at this time if the price is worh it. Though, if I had to take a guess, I think this is going to get good reactions. If it does, I feel the price may be worth it. RNK

It looks very nice.
Are the 'cards' made from card-stock, or are they plastic and do they come with their own wallet? Paul Mc.

I like it... not entirely sure how I'd routine it.
It is always darkest just before you are eaten by a grue.

And do the second phase. I have been thinking about patter for this myself and can't think of anything yet either. RNK

Oh yea- I forgot to mention about the cards- they are not laminated (as I think they should be for $30.00). Though, if they were, I wonder if the cards would not slide as well- which I think is important- the sliding of the cards cards when displaying the girl makes the effect look nice. Though, the cards are made a little thicker than normal playing cards and have a different feel to them like they MAY be coated with something. But, since I have not performed with the cards a BUNCH of times yet, it is hard for me to say if the cards will last. If you are on the fence on buying this- check out MADHATTER MAGIC SHOP online- they are selling it for $21.95! I LOVE Madhatter- they have great customer service and AWESOME prices- probably one of the best prices out there!
Best- RNK

OK- the cards are like a heavy stock/somewhat plastic- though they do not feel as if they are plastic. (If that makes any sense). I am getting pretty good reactions from this. It's definately not a "BLow Em Away reacion of WHAT?" it's more of a "Hmmm- Woah- what just happened" type of reaction or a "Yea- that's pretty cool" reaction. Hope this helps-

The fact that you pick up the cards and put them back down in different orders is going to make a layman for the most part say "your just shuffling them up." I think you need to call attention to the "impossibility" of the results as well as having a patter to explain away the shuffling. I was thinking of drawing a connection between it and the old stage illusion with the boxes where the magician mixes the parts of the girl up...

Seems more like a clever puzzle to me than magic. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing depending how you routine it.

I checked around online yesterday and nobody had them in stock. Either the shops didn't get many of them or they are selling pretty well!

If performed flawlessy- this is also portrayed as magic/mystery. I have found if I make one little oops, even though I correct it so the cards show correctly, (you sre right rowdy) the spectator almost looks over the whole thing- like a puzzle, but when I perform it spot on- I always get- a "WOW- now that was cool" type of reaction.
