I'm shipping out 12 of these today and I personally opened each case to check the gimmick,just to be as careful as possible.
Considering people are going to open it anyway,they don't seem to mind, Steve |

I do not think the writing looks "Printed". Mine looks like handwriting. The one that I have now I am very happy with. I have done it dozens of times with no issues. I think this is a very cool little gimmick. What you get for the price is WELL worth it. This is actually one of my favorite items to have come out in a while. I love to just have it there for that anytime anywhere situation.
Of all the people I have already performed this for, no one has questioned the writing looking legit, or the fob itself. This is a goodie guys. If you happen to get one that has any issues, Bro Gilbert and the Paul Harris team will make sure to get you squared away, so don't fret. I definitely recommend this one. As much as I love the original Free Will routine, this is a very nice addition. And I absolutely love the complete and total freedom that Fair Play provides.

Hey Guys –
Patrick from Murphy’s here. I would like you all to know we have sold thousands of these units worldwide and only 3 units have had ANY problems whatsoever. Most have been user error (not placing the gimmick into the key-fob correctly). This is a FANTASTIC product! There have been no issues with it and everything works as described. Best, Patrick |

Just a new handling thought...
You show the 3 items and start by asking them to place one of the 3 items in their pocket. Once they do, at this point you remove the fob and place it on the table (you can even place it face up depending on where they are standing/sitting as the font is small enough that they shouldn't be able to read the writing yet). Then, you have them pick up both remaining objects and have them place one in your hand while the other remains in their hand. Now you simply tell them to just pick up the fob that's been in sitting in front of them to read out loud. I'm not sure at the moment if this plays stronger than removing the fob after all the choices have been made, but thought I would share as an alternate handling. |

Here's another handling that gets very strong reactions.
Go through the rigmarole of putting objects in their hand, your hand and their pocket. Show them the key fob. Proceed to place it on the floor. Stamp on it. Use the pieces to do one in the hand, one in the pocket instead. Great reactions.

Should I be a pre-order customer or a customer in general to find that hilarious?
I don't own it so I won't defend it tooth and nail... That was freaking funny 😂 |

I don't feel this is in anyway 'Tenyoey' as key fobs are made of plastic anyway. The wrinting looks like handwriting, just neater than my own hand, but who's too know that? I'm happy with my purchase and I guess I'm lucky as my 'waterworks' works fine too. (Go on, comment on my waterworks, I know you want to............)

But while they are thinking about the next one. "Oh wait. Here hang onto this. Perhaps it will inspire you!" I like it. Can't go wrong this way. |

As the DVD teaches,I perform it so the spectator always reads the script.
Regardless if you do this or not really is up to you,but it is very easy to do either way,this is not a super advance handling,in fack the php handing once practiced leads into understanding my handling which is how I designed the gimmick and all the words used in FP. I wanted to make something very easy without sacrificing the strength of the effect,but to enhance it (that was my goal). If you jump to 1:13 you will see a REAL performance of FP. No exposure of course,but I assure you no matter the choices the spectators make it is just as direct no matter what and it surely isn't a best case scenario! http://youtu.be/bkueVP33AFE |

I am very impressed with the quality of this gimmick. I watched the video, which was pretty short, and gave it a go on my lovely assistant. My wife is rarely impressed with anything to do with magic so when we started she was very much in that lets get this over with attitude. When it was time to read the prediction she was stunned. She then started switching the items around again and demanded we try again.since I knew she would do that I immediately reset in front of her and she never noticed. The reset is that quick and easy. This is perfect for a casual setting. Perfect for when. You are asked to "do something". I think that this is my favorite purchase this year.

Unless you can make the reset look as if you are writing another prediction I don't see how you can repeat it for the same audience. It would lead to the method and the effect would be reduced to a puzzle at best.

Just a quick idea for my fellow Englishmen. It's odd to call a £5 note a bill here in the UK but you could easily carry a 1 dollar bill in your wallet and use that instead. I wouldn't feel overly happy about giving a stranger my money anyway but a dollar is worth less than a pound(obviously if you have the UK version you can just borrow a note and this is not an issue). I always carry a dollar in my wallet for a Lonnie Chevrie effect so it suits me and I can easily justify using a dollar bill.
