 Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a Magic Review. Hey, today we're going to look at Sentio from Alan Morrison. What is this? Basically, it's a utility that allows you to mark and punch cards on the fly, like right in front of a spectator, without any sort of weird wonky devices. This is going to be something that every card magician is going to want in their arsenal. You want to see what the trailer looks like? This is it. Sentio by Alan Morrison is a classic technique hidden in plain sight. Alan has taken the diabolical card punch method and placed it into a modern, organic item. Sentio allows you to secretly mark a sign selection right in front of your spectators in real time. Sentio comes complete right out of the box. A custom-built gimmick placed into a normal Sharpie. Sentio is perfect when you want to find a single sign selection, or when you want to do all those great gambling demonstrations by finding a four of a kind. It's Sentio by Alan Morrison. All right, so that was Sentio from Alan Morrison. A couple questions we were always asked about all of our Magic Reviews, and the first of which is what's in the box? What's in the box? You're going to get the gimmick, right? You're going to get the Sharpie gimmick, and you're going to get the download code to a 35-minute video. Is it what I thought? Is it what I thought? Yeah, I mean it says that it's a card punch, and it's obviously done with a Sharpie marker, so yeah, that's what I thought. But most punch work takes place before your performance. You can set up the trick however you'd like. So if you're going to punch your four aces, you do that with all the markings. But what makes Sentio extraordinary and unique, what sets it apart, is that this punching device is a Sharpie marker, which is something that magicians use all the time. And so this allows you to actually do the punch work during your performance right under your spectator's nose. How are the angles on this? The angles on this are really good. In fact, Alan will walk you through how to do this right in front of your spectator without them even noticing. Can it be inspected? Yeah, I would say so. It could probably be inspected. I mean, I don't think they're going to inspect it one. And number two, I don't even think they would know what to look for. What's the overall quality and production value of the video? Most of it is just an over-the-table view of Alan's hands as he's working. Just while he's either doing the setup or while he's doing a couple of the tricks that he wants to show you. Otherwise, it's a chest-up shot of Alan against a white wall. I don't think it's mic'd. There isn't any bells and whistles, so something really special about the video, really. I mean, it's all shot pretty straightforward. And it's obviously shot for a European audience because he refers to this trick as LP, which would be lid punch, which is what its name is overseas, and he has a totally different packaging for it, but it still works. What is he going to teach you on this? He'll teach you three tricks. One with cards, one with blank billets, and one with dollar bills. Is the product well made? I think it's exceptionally well made. In fact, Alan will say that he actually guarantees this product for the life of your performance just so long as it is normal wear and tear. How much practice does this require? Not much. It's actually pretty easy. It doesn't require a whole lot of cover. I think once you do the setup, you'll be good to go. How much setup and reset is there? There's a little bit of setup, and one of the reasons why Alan doesn't do it is because you might want to do this to your own preference. I will say that it involves heat. Heat and plastic sometimes don't love each other, and so I would just advise you to be very careful. Positives. What are the positives to Centio? I think with this, Alan Morrison has created a very ninja-like way to cheat right in front of the spectator. Every serious card worker is going to want one of these. Negatives. All right, so what are the negatives? You know, like we say right 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. I just would have liked a little bit more content, I think. 35 minutes was fine, but just I wanted more ideas, maybe more just different ways you could punch things, different things you could punch, how punching can be used, maybe some history. I don't know, I just felt like I could have would have liked something else. So is it worth your money? It's 25 bucks, 25 dollars. That's really affordable considering you get half an hour of instruction, plus a custom-made gimmick, especially handmade gimmick, and that he's going to guarantee it. I think it's well worth your money. Who would like this? Serious card workers, serious card workers, people that don't mind punching and destroying cards, people that this is the kind of thing that they love to do. People who are already doing card punching and are looking for something new, I think would definitely love Centio from Alan Morrison. All right, so that is my review for Centio from Alan Morrison. As always, I want to thank Murphy's Magic Supplies for allowing me to have this trick so that I can do the review for you. And if you would like to purchase this trick for yourself, you can find it from your very favorite Murphy's Magic retailer. Thanks, bye.
