Is this not the same exact method Peter Turner teaches? It looks identical.. |

The first thing the spectator is going to do is look at the back of his card and instantly see how its done
How can anyone charge money for this??? |

I think it's such a shame that Penguins standards are slipping

Cannot agree more. They are also selling homemade tutorials of really bad tricks or a slight variation of an exisiting trick without any credits given. Just copying what they do on the wire on theory11 site.

Also the gimmick doesn't print well for most people. Apparently anybody (including teenager's) can sell an effect/download on Penguin. Don't get me wrong, I love Penguin Magic, but the quality of their downloads is declining.

This has been around a bit longer even than DID (which I am a proud owner of).
I do think its funny that people charge for this or even hype it up...it belongs best as a tidbit on a lecture, a chapter of a book etc - something you can play with, maybe use some time misdirection etc... But as a standalone item its hard to take this seriously. The first time I saw it in action (again, before DID), it was immediately sussed. |

Used this several times with multiple people present and no one had a clue.
Peter did a lot of things presentation wise to make 'the work' psychologically invisible, along with good theater per each reveal when card is long gone. |

Agreed.
But unlike a lot of other routines we may all perform, this one can be sussed quite easily by someone with no magical background. Whether or not that's worth the risk I'd say is up to each performer. I'd personally be very careful doing this kind of routine. I'd consider it saved for very certain conditions. |

I have to say that it was obvious the first time it was performed on me. And that was by a very respected performer. Would it fly by a layman? Some maybe but some would catch it. I've never used it.

People who do LOTS of online shopping I say are the most concerning. They are used to punching in the CVC code on the back. On American credit cards at least, that pretty much gives up the game.

So "reading" is now a method...?
It's like penguin and ellusionist are competing at who can be worst |

This method has been published here on the Café more than ten years ago.

This literally looks like the exact same method that Pete uses.
Shame to know that Penguin rejected my effects but they accept crap like this |
