PROS

This is a great routine with a very good method. Once you learn the method, you could apply the same method to a card routine. If you don’t know this method, it could be very useful to you.

You get two sets of ESP cards that are very good quality. They are made with regular bicycle stock, so they will become worn over time, but the handling does not require new cards. There is little sleight of hand required and the moves are easy. In addition, given the moves do not require new cards, with just a bit of care, you could use these cards for many years without having to purchase a replacement.

The instruction is very good and very thorough. The strength in the method is it appears very clean. You place a card from your packet down first, then they do. There are no additional cards used in the routine.

The effect is true to the ad copy. However, there are different ways this routine plays out depending upon how the cards are played by the participant. As I recall, in an older version of the demo video, there was a live performance. That live performance was of one of the possible outcomes. I think all outcomes play very strong.

I would say this is most suited to a relatively well lit close up environment because it requires relatively good vision.

The difficulty level is pretty easy.

CONS

As I mentioned above, there are different possible outcomes depending upon the cards played by the participant. I don’t see this as a problem, but you should be aware of this as a potential buyer.

You will need to consider how good of eyesight you have in order to perform the effect. There are different options for different levels of vision.

VERDICT

Very nice routine with very good handling. Beware that there are different possible outcomes with each performance, and each outcome plays strong. You will need to have reasonably good vision.
