I like it and easy to perform.
If you like the effect you won’t be disappointed.
The ten is the hardest to do imo.

I found this yesterday and wasn't going to share it, but in the youtube comments WAJTTT said they are ok with the secret being "open source" https://youtu.be/1fEs99KF1g4

This has always been my argument. If it’s a gimmick that’s factory made then why not share the secret to potential buyers, like any other product? Kudos to Calen. I hope this motivates others to do the same.

Got it today, and love it. The gimmick is very durable, and the effect is easy to perform. I will get a lot of use out of this. In answer to an earlier question, yes, the gimmick can be transferred to another card box.

Yup. This kind of thing makes me more likely to buy as I know I won't get burned. I think the worries about "exposure" in cases like this are way overblown.

Ok, got mine today...

i'll be brief... for the money, the gimmick is a bit jagged and came close to piercing the skin on my right index a couple of times - I'm sure I'll find a way to smooth the edges down a little, without losing definition...but, for nearly £30, I'd want a bit more attention to detail...

I remember the ATHOS gimmick, cut from metal and that was smoother to use...

it definitely works, and I like how its hidden in plain sight. if you've ever wanted to be taught magic by a guy standing out in the wilderness, afoot a hillock, then this is your dream buy...


Besides Iain (above) is anyone else finding the gimmick too sharp?

It is not too sharp for me. In my opinion, it is perfect as it has great definition.

Please check regularly if you are becoming the type of magician Jerry Seinfeld jokes about. (This applies to mentalists as well.)

Came up with a little routine... spectator shuffles a deck which is then spread face down, spectator slides one card out and the remaining cards are placed back in the box.
I ask the spectator if we can use their phone, I then turn around and ask the spectator to look at the card they picked and take a photo of it, they close the phone and lay it face down on the table. I turn back to them and pick up the box and get them to slide the card into the middle of the deck.....
The spectator turns on the flash on the phone and I download the memory from the phone.

My motivation for the actions above start when I ask the spectator if we can use their phone, I start talking about how amazing smartphones are and I have discovered a way to tap into the memory on the phone.
As the spectator is sliding the card back in the box I'm asking the spectator to turn on the flash on the phone...
Now I tell the spectator that I'm going to download the information of the photo they just took... I place my two finger tips on the flash and "download the information " I do the reveal and Bob's your uncle....
Just something a little different, I've performed it a few times now and its getting great reactions

AceFace, I really like the routine beats/choreography you came up with there. Gives extra purpose to why you are handling a boxed deck, and their phone.

Thank you... it’s so easy doing what you need to do whilst they slide the card back in the box and timing is perfect for the reveal... I love the blister plot and have performed it many times but I wanted something a little different. If you guys use it then let me know how it goes

Been playing around with this the last few days, an addition I added to my gimmick is adding a small bead of UV plastic weld to the start of the first 4 rows. For me, it's smoother to feel for the beads (basically like braille) then the cutouts when trying to get to the proper row.

Brilliant idea! I've attached my gimmick to a Carat DS1 EDC Deck Sleeve. Gives that extra support whilst protecting the tuck.

GREAT idea. Thanks! And no, I do not find my gimmick to be too 'sharp.'

Yeah, wouldn't describe it as sharp, but maybe crisp edges. But it's needed for well defined blisters.
