After watching the demo I assumed this was a 5 Buck download, bargain basement, type effect. I thought it was extremely mediocre at best. it never crossed my mind to buy it.

Those of you that are worried about them memorizing names are simply over thinking it. It won't happen. (Speaking from experience.) I DO agree that $20 is very steep for this. $10 is more reasonable. |

Would I be able to show all the pieces face up first?

I wonder why they didn't show that in the trailer, then. It would have been a better sell. The trailer shows all the pieces face down, the one chosen, then all the participant's pieces are gone when Rick is turning the other pieces over.

If you're looking for a matching effect, get this instead. You won't be disappointed.

It was Binary Code2 I was thinking of. If this is anywhere close to that it would be money well spent. Its been awhile since I used that and tbh this effect had me rewatching the instructions for BC2! This however looks great. If someone who has BC2 and gets this as well Id like to know how it compares as far as smoothness goes as BC2 is extremely smooth in method.
Good magic to all, Eric |

After watching the video more closely I can see this is a different method. Oh dear may have to spend some more hard earned cash! Grrrrrrrrr!

I'll pass, because it is expensive for what it is and I know a few already with similar effects and equal reactions. Right off the top of my head, Half and Half by Stewart James, the awesome 'Make the Cards Match' (aka. 'Will the Cards Match') by Howard Adams, Phil Goldstein's 'Con-Pound', 'Procre', and 'Rif'. If you're tilting your head after reading this, I do recommend 'Name Game'.

I had it figured out after one watch. It's fairly clever. Fairly. Not more.
I've been struggling to justify why I'd pick one first and then they'd pick one - I'm not quite sure what ability I'm showing. I'm also struggling with lack of theme. Here are some name tags isn't enough for me. I'd talk about choosing baby names and how couples struggle to agree on names for their kids. Both parties hold hands to forge a connection and hover over each set with the other hand and then both stop at the same time and choose the one they're hovering over, coming down on each card with a finger. Then you have the idea of being in sync at that moment / synchronising heartbeat etc. This makes it more thematic for me and makes it feel more like an experiment. |

Must the name tags be made in advance, or could any be made in the presence of spectators, to use one or more of their names?

I have to agree that I'm not sure I understand the claim as to why names are more powerful unless it's the name of the participants you are performing to. Otherwise I don't see why there would be a stronger hook if random names are used

I don't think you would recognize that though as it's such a short transitional moment in the demo. The pieces are dealt out face up, turned face down by the participants, and then mixed by the participants. |

I know exactly what this is but I agree, I think it's genius. It may be worth the money for the set of names. Do you get more than one set of names to do this with?
