I'm with Roberto. I've been less reassured and frankly more confused by some of Mariano's responses.
Two simple questions: If it's THAT clean solo, why is there an Assistant mode? And: Why does the ad copy NOW state 'PLEASE NOTE: Solo performances do require your phone to be brought into play. But, it is completely disguised to be totally natural.' Well I didn't spot your phone during that solo performance... Please just be a bit more honest/ clear Mariano |

If you are familiar with earworm and inject this will help you with how the solo input can be achieved.
Hopefully mine arrives soon. |

I have inject.
I don't see how the solo performance video shared by Mariano can be done this way. But happy to be corrected! |

Please note that the solo method that Mariano demonstrates requires you to also own his NOW app.
I think it's only fair that this is clear. |

...and yet Mariano declined to mention this.
How wonderfully open and honest. |

Whaaaaaat - seriously about you have to have the NOW app?! Also that’s a fair valid spot about the description saying you need to bring your phone into play but… on that solo demo it does not show his phone in play. Hmmm unless it’s referencing you having to use your phone for part of the process which makes sense seeing the hand holding the tickets go down to the pocket where the phone is in for it to do the necessary - which that would he fine and innocent enough. But the wording of needing to have your phone in play to me indicates your phone needs to be out in play not just in pocket??? Even more curious to a clarification now please.

No. You don't have to own NOW app to be able to use the newly added input method which allows you to perform exactly as you saw me at the magic shop.
Anything else? |

Thanks Mariano for clarifying - I’m really confused now… David Klass?

Jaysus lads, take it handy. I think the constant questioning is a bit over the top. The man has answered the questions, put up another video, answered yet more questions, righted wrongs posted by others but still not enough. Honestly why would he put up a video that is completely misleading? All it would take is one person to buy the product and scream foul and there goes his reputation. It would be very foolish. I'm all for looking for clarification and being informed (God knows some of the advertising in magic is beyond ridiculous) but I think now it's time to relax a bit. My advice, wish the man well and wait for the reviews if still on the fence.

Constant questioning? About what? About getting clarification on something before deciding to possibly buy it - sorry for asking questions. He put the video up because it was the right, reasonable and decent thing to do showing how innocent and clever it looks with solo performance. So with all due credit and respect Mariano has been very active, helpful and accommodating in answering questions, putting the requested video up which imo has gone massively in favour of sales due to how clean it is which I am grateful for and I know others are for taking the time to post and answer questions with clarification etc.
Asking questions about something is normal and anyone serious in purchasing anything will want to fully know what something is before purchasing. 90% of magicians are solo workers so naturally we want to see how this looks and plays with a solo input - which we now do. David mentioned you need NOW to be able to do what M did in that solo performance and M has now said you don’t. So surely you can see why both these conflicting statements are confusing. |

The creator answered the question. David was obviously mistaken and probably not aware of the new input method added. Era each to their own, personally I think everything that needs to be said has been said already.
Regardless hope the creator sells loads and hopefully if you end up buying it you will enjoy it. Cheerio! |

Thanks, Pete for the thumbs up,
Actually, the link for that "new" explanation was there but is a separate video explanation. I do my best to answer your questions but sometimes I don't have enough time (I don't pay a programmer to do the stuff, I do it myself...) Call me old-fashioned but I think the magician has to make ALMOST everything by himself if he can. I'd feel ashamed to get credit for something I did NOT make. After sales service is my LIFE, so please, don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions. |

I received Boarding Pass yesterday. The video that's being questioned is 100% doable exactly as shown without requiring any additional apps or tools. I don't know Mariano, and I have no vested interest in this trick, but it seems a shame to have false conclusions drawn and then posted by people who clearly do not own the trick. Speculation is great. But posting a conclusion about how good or bad a trick is based upon that speculation doesn't always look smart.
The multiple input methods that are available allow a performer to find one that they feel is most organic to the way they work or the environment they may find themselves performing in. Someone has called out the "assistant" mode as somehow being questionable. The "assistant" mode is available if you happen to be performing in a situation that would allow for an assistant. But's not necessary at all. It's simply an option. Just like any other input method is an option. And I find the multiple input methods are a real plus. Believe it or not, guys, this trick works exactly as advertised. Unfortunately, we don't get to say that often enough. In this case, it's 100% true. You will absolutely fool people when you perform this.
"Do you like card tricks?" he asked.
I said no. He did five. |

It sounds as though that statement, confidently made, was incorrect. However, I am still left wondering why an Assistant mode is needed at all? If the solo inputs are so incredibly clean, why on earth would I need an assistant? I'm confused more than anything! |
