I hope this helps. Also for anyone who may be waiting for more stock to arrive, the wait is over. New stock just in! Best Regards Peter Nardi |

Tip: be careful when the spec is opening their box. I performed it today, they turned it over and sussed the method. Learn from my mistake!

Sorry, I should of been clearer. I had opened the box and asked the spec to remove the note. Rather than just picking out the note they picked up the box too. So your advice to keep hold of both boxes is right (on the instructional vid the box is left on the table for the spec to remove the note). Just don't want anyone else to et caught out when they perform in person vs via video link.

Thank You..I guess sometimes there is more to a "simple" trick that we realize...I have opened it have prepared it, but haven't performed it yet with Social distancing and all

1KJ Inner circle Warning: We will run out of new tricks in 4385 Posts |
I'm usually not crazy about 50/50 tricks unless they are repeatable, which this one is not. Decisions by Mozique is an amazing repeatable 50/50 trick. Before I received this, I was hoping it was going to be a clever new method for a repeatable 50/50 trick.
At first, I was disappointed. However, it got me thinking that something similar, but with two envelopes, one with a Monopoly 100 bill and another with a real $100 bill might be something fun to keep in my wallet. One envelope would be labeled "A" and the other would be labelled "B". It would take up little space, and depending upon how I pull out and handle the envelopes, I could apparently show them both quite freely and casually. Also, I think the patter should emphasize a multi-step process. "Step one: I Take out the envelopes", "Step two: You pick an envelope", "Step three: …" well, this is where the secret instructions would pick up. KJ |

Steve... WOW....just WOW, Swindle just dropped through my letter box.
The effect is absolutely brilliant, I had no idea of the method, After less than 10 minutes into the tutorial, I am sat here with an extremely wide smile on my face. So ingenious.. I love it. Another excellent effect. Thanks so much.

UK is actually cheaper than US if you figure in the fact that they don't include VAT for non EU members. I live in Canada and always order from UK. I also find UK customer service is far better than USA. So if you want this trick and can wait for longer shipping times, I suggest you order from UK |

Yesterday I had some friends round, one of whom was celebrating her birthday. Knowing my interests, she asked if I could show her effect. I showed her Swindle, which I had already set up with an appropriate and personalised note.
With all of us aware of current restrictions, everything was socially distanced and with her telling me her choice of box. (It was black and she added the interesting observation, 'I'd always choose black.' Such info is worth knowing ;-)) When the effect reached the conclusion, she laughed and laughed. Swindle was a huge success and she even thanked me for my little entertainment by text later. The beauty of Swindle is that it can be presented at a distance or even online and, even though it is a choice between two, it is genuinely entertaining and beguiling. Neil |

“I’d always choose black” gave me a chuckle.

Had a chance to perform this and was pleasantly surprised at the reactions. It’s a fun little effect and I’m enjoying it already.

For those of you that don't despise using FaceBook, I will second what Peter said...there are some nice ideas shared on there to use as is or mix and match to make your own. If nothing else they can serve to get your creative juices flowing.
