If Maddy wants to truly convince anyone then his word is simply not enough

As some people have mentioned here (thank you guys) I'm not one to lie about my magic or about my view on magic. I have been known to give bad reviews to products I felt deserved bad reviews. Even when I was given a copy by a creator for free. I always have and always will state my opinions of a product. Good or bad. I will not sugar coat my findings and I will not state something publicly if it isn't true.


Thanks,

I didn't purchase Change and I wouldn't do so just based on the way it was hyped, and as a pre-order no less. And based on the negative reviews thus far I'm pleased that I didn't order this.

Hi guys,

Just a few things.

Please notice I never said someone called me a liar! I was just responded to Altrez's post telling me to quote "be honest."

I don't mind people having a different opinion. There will always be some that hate some products while others love them. The only reason for me even telling oft experiences with this is to simply report MY findings. I'm not trying to convince anyone that the trick is revolutionary nor am I trying to persuade people to dig it out of the trash. I just hope that by sharing my experiences, some will feel at least slightly encouraged.


My biggest question is this: What do I gain by claiming I've used this in front of a crowd if I haven't?? I will tell you. I gain absolutely nothing.

Thanks for sharing the video Maddy. I agree, you come across as a lovely guy and the patter helped. I also have to agree with the criticisms about the color, and even in a low quality youtube vid filmed from a distance the card looked way too thick. My other criticism would be that you clearly were checking in your monitor to see that you had the right angles. In real life, of course, you wouldn't have this luxury. How about a more realistic video where you cover your monitor and try the same performance again? This might be a good way to prove your point that the angles can be dealt with once one knows how to handle the gimmick? My worry would be that the moment of the change is SO angle sensitive that one risks it happening prematurely. Add to this the other problems of light, spectators at different heights, angles, and distances, and regardless of your nice presentation, I just can't see how this is going to be truly practical for any more than one spectator in the perfect lighting and angle conditions.. which to my mind, renders it, basically, impractical!

The only reason I looked in the monitor was to check to be sure it was red..... Also in the real world I use the line, "Let me know if you see him get any sadder." This prompts them to react when it turns blue which tells me the card is at the appropriate angle.

Fin,

I use the deck in my left hand as a guide. I know the moment the card gets tilted past the lower right corner of the deck when held perpendicular to the card that the card is now blue.

Thanks for the input.

I'm afraid that I can't take the views seriously of someone who, within a week or so of receiving an effect is using it in their stage set. The opinions of this trick are trending to poor but you obviously are more concerned about the next new thing rather than amazing your audience.
