 Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Brothodoxy. My name is David and this is the Magic Review. Hey, today we're going to look at Name Tag from Agassu. What is it? Basically it's a clip-on name tag or it's a lanyard-born name tag. It says hello my name is and you can have your picture on there and your name and you're able to take it off and then use that device as your card reveal or your prediction. You want to see what it looks like? This is it. All right so that was Agassu. You might remember Heated Cross. I did a review of that a couple months earlier. So a few questions we always ask about all of our Magic Reviews. The first of which is what's in the box? Basically within the box you're going to get a 45-minute BVB and you're also going to get the Name Tag gimmick itself and you're also going to get a lanyard that you can wear around your neck and the clip that holds the gimmick to the lanyard. You're also going to get the cards. All right you're going to get cards and you're going to get ESP cards that are both printed and some that look like they're hand printed like if you were going to actually draw it yourself and then you're also going to get some prediction cards, some reveal cards like just regular bicycle playing cards. Now this product is available in blue and red backed cards so make sure that when you purchase yours you're getting the bicycle back design that you use when you do card tricks. All right so is it what I thought? It's not really what I thought. I'll definitely say that but I wasn't surprised. I have seen this style technology used on a lot of card tricks or prediction effects that have been coming out lately. I can think of a couple up top of my head but I won't tell them to you because that would kind of reveal how this is done but it is a technology that we're seeing but I didn't think it could be used in this manner and it is and so I was pleasantly surprised. How are the angles on this? You can't do it surrounded. You can't have people behind you. I would say this definitely works better with people who are seated or people that are in kind of like a semicircle in front of you. All right so can it be inspected? No it cannot. I would say maybe on the top of my head like oh sure they can inspect the name tag aspect but they really can't because there's an element to the name tag that once they touch it they're going to see or at least get a clue as to how you might have done it so no they can't take your name tag and that might be a drawback for some people and maybe some of magicians have figured out a work run for that. I don't know you might want to put that in the comments below if you own name tag and you figure out a way for people to inspect it but but just as a comment I would say no they can't inspect it. What's the overall quality and production value of the DVD? It's completely well shot you get lots of great angles nice environments nice background music easily navigatable it was a very well done very well put together DVD. Is it well made? The gimmick itself is completely well made that the name tag is strong it's very durable the lanyard is really nice it's a higher end lanyard the cards you get are all bicycle printed and so I was very impressed with all the products and everything that you get with this effect. Okay so how much practice does it require? It's going to require some practice because there's some movements on here that you might not be familiar with so there's I'm not going to say they're naggy moves but they're funky okay so it's there's a funky movement that you have to do and I don't know that it's memory work but I think it would work better if you did remember some things if there was some memory work that you did that you just you know because it's a prediction effect and there's multiple outs so you have to kind of remember where all your multiple outs are I know I'm being vague but I'm trying to not give away the effect and so there's definitely some practice you're going to have to spend a lot of time with the gimmick and kind of learn the funky movement learn to make it natural and then kind of learn where to stop and start so that you can actually do the revelations for this effect. How much setup and reset is there? There's none the gimmick does all the work for you the cards do all the work for you so basically you know you remove your prediction or you know if you're going to swap tricks but basically you leave the prediction in your name tag the entire time you never have to swap it out and you're instantly set to go from table to table or from group to group. What are the positives to this? Positives to name tag like I said high quality gimmick okay the gimmick's gonna last you forever and it's a very strong prediction effect especially when you can have four cards in the table four mental prediction cards four playing cards anyone and you're expected to can literally with no equivocation no magician's force they can select one card change their mind twice three times four times and the back of your name tag still reveals the card they would have picked that's a strong strong strong effect. Hey what are the negatives just like we say around here there's negatives to everything these are just the negatives that I see they don't have to be the negatives that you see you can't use normal cards if you're thinking that you're going to be able to adapt this to something that you already do you're not going to be able to you have to use their cards for everything you have to use their gimmicks you have to use their forces okay so granted you could force the card if you wanted to with your own deck that's fine but you still have to use the revelations that are already included in this effect so you can't make your own cards you have to use the pre-printed cards to come with this trick is it worth your money is it worth your money it's 45 bucks 45 dollars is a very good price not only because you're getting a good quality dvd but you're getting a good quality gimmick and so 45 dollars definitely in the wheelhouse definitely in the pocket worth your money pick up name tag who would like this any magician that gets hired out for a convention or walk around or a seminar or a meeting or you know if you do corporate work name tag is perfect for you because you literally are wearing a name tag that says hello my name is the magician that was hired out for this event you know and you can wear it through your whole routine at the end then use it as a kicker say you know what hey let's use my name tag it works fluidly into the environment where you would need to use a name tag I think if you're doing this for some other venue where it doesn't make any sense that you're wearing a name tag then this probably isn't for you but this was totally built for anybody who does convention walk around corporate or restaurant magic all right so that is name tag from agus ju and if you'd like to purchase your own you can find it on of your favorite murphy's magic suppliers thanks bye
