Can't seem to type on quote? I like the way you are thinking, I changed the number process in 'The Collector' and now have an awesome effect, key word is 'Imagination' and using it.

I don't think I'm being clear. You can use your own creativity with these cards. I have these, and I have created a routine for myself that uses these cards plus some cards that I have created. It doesn't matter how great Jonny is, most magic inventors come up with a concept, but it is up to the magician buying it to develop a routine. A reviewer like Jonny is going to tell you if the quality of the product is good, is it well developed, etc. They are good quality cards. I'm not suggesting you shouldn't watch jonny's reviews. What I'm saying is that in this case, people are seeing the developer do a move they don't like and my point is that these are cards, so you could pick up a good card book and find a hundred different moves if you didn't like that one.

Great review, thanks! I think I will pick this up.

Received this today and I am happy with this. It’s a straight forward effect that lives with your presentation. For me it’s no problem to pick up the cards at the end and I am sure it’s not suspicious for the spectator. It passed the wife test and this really means a lot, haha

I really wanted to like this effect, and, by the way, great review by Fiddlin', and the product definitely looks high quality. But I still just can't get past the pickup, I think it weakens the effect.
Sadly, will have to pass. |

Received my set and really like this. The quality and design of the cards is excellent. Not only do the cards have extra useful properties but the subject matter chosen allows for powerful, interpretive reveals.
With so many routines and possibilities available, these cards have enormous potential, including even drawing duplication. Definitely one of my better buys of the year and one I can see myself using a lot. Neil |

Unfortunately the video demo is not really the best effect and can understand how you and others feel. Personally I am going to use Adsense along similar lines to how I use the ODDS cards. The Adsense cards are a tool and can be used in many ways. In addition, the reveal can be 'milked' allowing you to hone in on image and what the item may mean to the spectator (some, such as a cigarette brand, they may find distasteful and you can mention 'feelings' you may pick up, while other items could excite and appeal.) If you get, I hope you enjoy. Neil |

At the right time and place the cigarettes would work fine with a smoker. Could explain how cigarette companies brain wash you LOL. I actually like this, again for the right time and place. The move alike the 3 card monte turnover is very nice and clean. I think the demo showed the easiest handling not necessarily the best.

To those who say this looks too much like a CARD trick: when you learn the secret, could you not perform this (DIY) with your own business cards?

AS for maximizing performance of this, if you use a spectator who says, yes she does believe in subliminal messaging, then when you reveal you have only confirmed her belief, and where is the conflict or drama in that? But if you solicit a participant who professes to be a skeptic, then you prove the "reality" of subliminal messaging even affects a skeptic, I think you will have stronger audience reactions. What do you think?
