What did you think you was getting? Invisible bullets? When you watched the trailer, you must of had some idea or thought about what the method might be. Be honest, what was it?

Am I the only one who still finds that the move is unreliable?

Takes practice to get the correct hand position.
I struggled with glasses and cards at first.

Pringle was the easiest to do for me.

My aim is way off. I don’t think I’m properly hitting items over the edge of a table one every 20 tries. I hope it gets better with practice.

Absolutely! Pinkyache is real with this.

When I first open the packet, it was not what I was expecting

but after putting in 30 mins practice, I am getting great reactions

Definitely a Winner!

I believe Crazy Sam's Mind deserves the title of Trick of the Year.

I'm not sure what you expect to receive as props, but the products we sell are methods capable of achieving the effects mentioned in the trailer. We also upload a full performance on our channel, ensuring that all consumers understand what they're purchasing. However, there are still some consumers expressing disappointment, claiming that the product differs from their expectations. Many haven't even spent time practicing and attempting to achieve the effect before expressing their disappointment.

Hundreds of magicians witnessed SAM's performance in Blackpool and purchased this product. The effect seems very pure, requiring only time to master it. I don't understand what those who criticize this product as garbage are expecting. If this product were genuinely garbage, I don't believe hundreds of units could be sold out in just one morning at Blackpool.

I'm somewhat disappointed by these comments; it seems like many people's understanding of magic is still not thorough enough. There isn't a single best method for any magic trick in this world; there's only the method that best suits you, as long as it achieves the desired effect.

At least, I currently don't know of any other way to crush a potato chip in the hands of the audience without physical contact. If you have better method, please let me know.

Had this a week & Alex at Magicbox kindly performed it making a pen jump & I was correct about what it used to achieve thus ie. My initial thoughts .
The time & simplicity of the set up is good & it’s practical.
To do certain phases of the given routines will take a little practice but what doesn’t .
For the price it’s excellent.
Immediately if you are a working magician imagine putting your business card on your own hand & making it shoot off or having a signed card change to a blank card that has BANG written on it & jumps off your hand as you form fingers of opposite hand in the shape of a gun only to retrieve the original card from a wallet.
So there’s two very easy ideas you can do immediately.
Love this & will watch the rest of the tutorial later .
I am very happy with this

This is a brilliant idea and quite practical too. Yes it takes practice and a bit of pain too. But totally worth it.
My suggestion is to focus on just one effect and practice that alone. Well done.
It is better to be trusted than liked.
Under promise. Over perform.

I’m liking this more and more, however, I’m really struggling to find a consistent enough “hit spot” to feel confident enough to perform the chip smash in front of anyone. It’s like each time I do it the gimmick strikes my hand in a slightly different place. I want this to be as reliable as possible as there’s no real out if it fails. Anyone else having the same issue? Any help is appreciated.

Yes I have it and it’s literally practice.
I did it 100 times over 2 days and now I never fail to hit.

I assumed as much. I’m pretty sure I’ve done it at least that many time, but maybe I’m just a slow learner.

No blisters so far? :-D
Did you do it all with the same "prop"? So can you say how many times it really survives before you have to replace it?

I've had fun with this! I was in Japan last week doing it in restaurants with chopsticks. It's a fun thing to play around with so I'm glad I picked it up.

Unfortunately I’ve just come across a video on Instagram of someone completely exposing the Pringle crack method and it already has nearly 97,000 likes. I won’t give the name of the account on the public forum as to not lead people to the video but I’ll send you a pm with the account name Hanson.

That was bound to happen with this. Still a d*^k move though.
