For $34.95, you get an extremely obnoxious performance of an extremely baffling effect.
The effect truly is a stunner . . . the kicker ending will fool both Magi and Muggle. However, Bob Sheets's performance was over the top obnoxious, clumsy and not even a little bit entertaining. If you can look past that and you like the effect, then this is worth the cost for sure. For $34.95, you get the cards you need and the DVD.
However, let me warn you that the explanation was extremely unclear. I wish the explanation was as clean as the effect. Additionally, there were cars and horns in the background that were very distracting and the in-the-air-Elsmley count doesn't look so hot. Also, Sheets doesn't talk about reset.
All in all, the props are well made, and the effect is beautiful. You may, however, have to modify the handling and you'll, likely, have to rewind multiple times to make sure you understand it. The explanation is very cluttered and rambley.
Final Verdict . . . gem. 3 stars.
