@ThinkLaterShootFirst exposure is not nice, even if the trick is bad.

Man I bought revelation! Found it amazing but expensive for the whole secret and that! Still a good trick! I like this but i figured it out pretty quickly! It still good but a little easy!

@Batfoley easy isn't the same as bad, the more self working the stronger the effect is the more you can put your heart and personality into the trick( just no math tricks, i think they aren't that good...)

[Batfoley]

@CopyCat1995 I know that however i disagree with selling secrets to a trick that is so easy. I use easy tricks and patter more than complicated tricks but i still think that selling the secrets to this is a little ridiculous almost any trained eye can figure it out in a few seconds.

I agree with lethal0Lama....but my 13 year old son thought it was pretty cool trick to add to his collection.

[Lethal0Lama]

It looks kinda basic. I think there are better tricks out there (e.g. biddle trick) that use the whole poker face theme. The effect feels a little "empty".

Also the statement 'take your mentalism to the next level' is a little exagarated. This isn't really a mentalism effect and every mentalist would agree.

I think it's fine to bring out your own effects, but advertising it like that doesn't seem right.

A lso a magician with basic card skills can figure this out in 2 minutes.

just saying...

[CopyCat1995]

@Lethal0Lama that's true and all, and i did figure this out( or at least found a way to do what he did), but it's still a very very strong effect( imo, it's simplicity is what makes it so strong,the biddle trick is ok and all, but the sleights involved make it a bit less impressive, whereas in this effect, the spectator can look all they like, but almost never finding out the secret due to it's lack of sleight), but can you tell me exactly what a real mentalism effect is?

@CopyCat1995 When is the tutorial out

[ThinkLaterShootFirst]

@Lethal0Lama So how did he do it?

[xperimentalmunggo]

@ThinkLaterShootFirst he memorized the position of each card, when he "shuffled" it notice that he moved all 5 cards to the top thus maintaining the position of the cards. took a quick glance the position of the card you picked by that time he already knows your card
