And yet when I I saw Sanders Extreme Burn over and over I was in the dark. SO some hold up and show their value on video.
As to the person asking do you repeat magic over and over live? Sure you do. If you work eateries and are the house magician you get people who either see you perform before, see you perform at another table or bring people back and request effects they liked. I recall one place I worked the owner loved my basic pen through quarter. He and the piano player would stop, like in the old westerns and watch every time I did it. Made me nervous but they never caught it. Today more than ever one needs to select effect that can stand up to more than in the past. Far too many people are now trained to behave like they see audiences do on the street. I wish I could say this one is good but I fail to see what is new about this in either quality or instruction and see the method has a telegraph that needs to be handled with thought. Quote:

I absolutely never repeat a trick unless it is in the structure. These days all the magic I do has several phases with the last phase always having some kicker.

Some tricks by there very inherent nature are not meant, and or designed to be performed over for the same person(s). However, that certainly doesn't make them bad. There are many great effects that can't be performed twice so it's simply a matter of orchestrating when, and when not to use them. It sounds as though I'm defending this particular trick, which as I mentioned before, I haven't the faintest interest in, but I'm simply trying to state a matter of common sense as to what you decide to perform, and or where you perform any given trick.

Regardless of what anyone thinks, this might be the best and easier signed card to box utility I have ever seen.

Two days ago I've seen a lecture of David Stone and more than 100 magicians were absolutely amazed. He performed about 5 or 6 routines using the gimmick (he wanted to demonstrate what's possible with it) and after he explained it everyone loved it. I think it's up to you - if you like it, perform it. If you don't like it - let it be.
Cheers guys!

I have only been doing magic for a couple of months but it's so easy to use 'Tool' it's almost ridiculous. I don't know what other more experienced performers think would be better methods for the same effects but I'm loving it so far.

I am not trying to criticize or anything....
but I just bought the Solo by Mark Mason and basically, with one of the gimmicks from Solo, you can perform all routines in Tool since it's a very basic gimmick. Anyway, Solo comes with another gimmick that makes the card vanish.....and it's little bit cheaper than the Tool!! |

You also only get one gimmick with solo. Tool comes with two so you can have one deck set up for one effect and another deck set up for a completely different effect.

Little bit confused......kjmking2002 says you receive 2 gimmicks with Solo and Paul Rathbun says you only get 1 gimmick with Solo and 2 with Tool ?
Thanks Joe |

Joe,
With Solo you get a gimmick like in Tool and another gimmick that makes a sandwiched card disappear. With Tool, you receive two identical gimmicks. With Solo, you receive two different types of gimmicks. Hope that helps. -Paul

Just for the record: I received one red and one blue gimmick with Tool (ordered from Penguin).

I just received Tool last week and it appears to me that it is a very amazing trick.
I received the dvd plus 2 blue gimmicks. I wanted to react with people saying that you can't examine the box afterwards. Well this could seem very weird to you but I did this trick in a close-up gig last week end, the trick where the chosen (and signed) card disappears from the top and comes in the box (this was my final effect after and AC routine). Then this guy on my right was so amazed, he took the box that was on the table and I didn't say anything and I looked relaxed and natural. And the guy didn't even notice! He just put the box back on the table and kept asking "how did you do that?" afterwards. Maybe he lied but I don't think so because the gimmick, when you quickly look at it isn't obvious because it isn't natural for lay people to see such a thing, they don't even know what a gimmick could be! I did this again for a friend who didn't take the box to look but I wanted to try if he could see it so I took the box back (with the gimmick on) and showed it to him quickly from side to side and he didn't notice... So I think that you don't need to worry about that kind of things, just know where the heckler is and make sure he won't take the box because a real heckler would see that! Anyway, this "tool" is very nice and very well made! I recommend buying it and I recommend using it in your routines, create your own effects with it because there are so much possibilities with that beauty! Cheers. |

Tool is amazing. Done correctly the box is not suspect. To laypeople, trick decks are known, but not trick boxes. I do prefer the effects where the box is clean at the end but I don't volunteer it for inspection and no one wants to see the cards or the box afterwards. I just leave everything on the table and take my time putting it away. The box looks clean and the cards they already held, shuffled, and looked at on their own. The DVD has excellent ideas on it. I love the 4 aces showing up after shufling the deck - very nice. Definately don't call attention to the box. I show it as a glimpse while taking it away rather than to prove to people it's not the box. Subtle but important difference.
