Sounds like their recent Any Card To Pocket in reverse. Interesting.

I have not commented on the Cafe in awhile!
But $30 for a trick that no one has a
performance of !!

Sorry to say sounds like a Cash Grab to me.

Prove me wrong and give a Live performance to show what magicians are paying for!

Have to agree with Don.

Why no video performance?

I was under the assumption there would be a video performance shortly. Would be incredibly weird and suspicious if there isn't.

I’m assuming they are holding the trailer over fears of tipping the method which would result in less profit than they anticipated. Which, if that’s the case, it’s never good if they are fearful of releasing a performance. Haha

Interesting how Geraint was quick to post on the James Brown release through E but not here when he is one of the creators of this effect. Given E's track record I would definitely not pre-order especially since they are at the moment not addressing why they have not released a demo video.

Sorry to say if this is any good they Should Not have a problem Showing a Live Demo ??
That would be the Real ice Breaker!!

Why should anyone Spend Hard earned Money $$$ on something that the creator is scared to post a Live Performance?

I don't think I'm asking too much to see a Live Performance!

Oh ok. No problem, I read your post in a different way.

Yep. If you liked that one, you'll like this too. Different vanish method - and it happens in their pocket.

Have to agree with Don.

Why no video performance?


To give some more context. Not a cash grab. We didn't start this thread, so I had no idea it was even here.

I Just stumbled upon it today when checking our other thread for a different effect.

We put pocket roulette on the site as a pre-order... so we could link it to a relevant blog post, but we haven't promoted it here/on social media or in our emails - as the video assets aren't ready.

Thank you to whoever started this thread though.

My absence on this thread can be explained with the fact that

1. I didn't know it was here.
2.I was in Ireland all last week (and St Paddy's weekend) filming (this) Pocket Roulette, Deadline and Single Handed.

When we got back, the Pocket Roulette packaging and gimmicks weren't quite ready, so we decided to prioritise the edit & release of Single Handed instead, which is in another thread.

However, this effect will be coming out in early April - and we've got PLENTY of live performances from Ireland to share with future buyers. So hopefully that clears it all up for people and adds some much needed context.

Many thanks,

- G

Just jumped on to this one. Reading the description I'm liking the effect.. but as others mention, without a demo things may not be as described. I'm guessing the switch happens when the cards are handed to the spectator, and guessing again, only 4 given to them as it seemed odd why they have to mix up behind back. The last line of the description is vague, "guess where their card appears... right where the money is".... What money?
I'm sure once we see a video demo all will be clear. For me I'll not pre-order (been stung too many times in the past) I'll wait, but it does sound like a good trick!
