I have searched any chance you could provide the actual link to the product. One has to be very careful about the EXACT MATERIAL there are so many versions of clear sheets, vinyls ,laminates polystyrene,Lexan that all look some what the same but do not all work for this principle. If there is an actual link to the product on Ali Express that MATCHED the one that the creator gives you when you buy the trick please provide it. I had no luck in finding it???
Thanks

Go to the vendor site provided in the pdf, Under shipping methods choose the option where they will compute the shipping and send you an invoice first. Total cost with shipping for me was $16. That is for a LOT of material-enough for dozens of applications(card deck, etc)

Scott,
I just searched for the words used in the pdf to describe the product. I am not sure if it's the same. It does say it is but who knows. I don't really want to post a link because of exposure. I only know as much as you, so I'm sure you will be able to work it out. Just look at thickness, and the same name as the product in the pdf. James

I mean, at this point, there's already been some exposure from the link above, so another one for an equivalent product doesn't seem like it reveals much more.

I also don't personally think that showing linking to it gives away particularly much about the method - it's all about how you use it. It's kind of like knowing a new kind of flap card has some thread, yet without knowing where or how to connect it, you can't recreate the gimmick.

I bought the DL and though I have yet to incorporate it into my deck, I think it looks very good and workable. I am looking to pick up the materials next. Worth the price IMO. Good Job, Guys.

Hi all,

I bought the requisite material on Amazon (the thinner of the two sizes mentioned). There were a bunch but now Amazon says only 2 left, so it seems like some of you may have figured it out.

For those that haven't: there is an alternate name given in the pdf (page 5). Just search the size and the name (I used "Size-Clear-Name from page 5") and you should be gold.

Two quick notes:
1. I received my material on Saturday and it's working well. I can confirm this from first hand experience. The card case is awesome, my phone is iffy (due to the type of case I use).
2. I have NOT tested with the material with the expensive shipping so it's possible my material is not as good. However it works just like in the videos so I have no problem whatsoever.

Best of luck,
Lem

PS- If you own this, I pasted the actual link to the product I purchased on Amazon on the Penguin forum.

As I have been informed, posting a link to materials is not exposure. As such, here is the exact material that I ordered. It’s working well for me.

I ordered the material from the link in the download. It works very well! However, you need to “adjust” it before you perform it. Go to the tips section and do what he suggests to do when the product “wears out.” When I made up the gimmick and tried it, it didn’t work at all. After the adjustment, it works beautifully!

I’m very excited about playing with this and performing it for people.

Also, this worked on MANY surfaces throughout my house. So that isn’t too big of an issue.

Yes I have been making that adjustment (under cover) prior to performing just to make sure its fool proof.

I have read that forum and it gives a few more places to buy. My suggestion Inaki is to include these additions in your pdfs. Great effect now that I found the material needed!

I just ordered and it cost me $12. Just order to send USPS

Can’t this be put out as a complete trick with the best gimmick the inventor suggests?

It could, but it's a tricky balancing act. Downloads are more or less instantly accessible, and satisfy those who are just wanting the method, which is a lot of people. Including the gimmick makes it easier to do the trick sooner, but it means those who balk at the increased price won't buy it. It also means having to keep inventory on hand. The truth of the magic industry is that the bulk of the market is casual performers and secret collectors. Nothing wrong with that in my mind, but it does have to be considered.

TL;DR version - They could, but they wouldn't sell as much and it would cost more to handle the business side of it.

Watched the video: Great idea. In germany (i think europe shouldn´t be a problem then) I had no problem to order the material, cheap and fast. I hadn´t the time to build and test it, but may be this weekend.
