This does look good, but compared to other Penguin Magic Effects Price does appear to be on the High Side (unless I am missing something )

Looks good but agree with Jack bit pricey

What a great idea. Updating a classic with a modern look and feel. Big congrats.
One question. Nintendo are very protective of their IP. Has this product been cleared with them? I would hate to take these to a pro gig and come across a Nintendo exec, only for them to take issue. |

Do they taste really bad when you lick them or put them in your mouth? The real ones do (no joke).

AWESOME release and brilliant idea, Craig! CONGRATULATIONS! 
Sadly Penguin blew it and priced this way too high in my opinion. I will continue on with my coin gimmicks, Sucker Punch, Platt's Sugar Rush and Gregory Wilson's FreaKey.
How many magicians does it take to change a lightbulb? Regardless, for magicians darkness is a time for d'lite.

I have some of Craig's releases and have generally liked them a lot. But agree this seems priced on the high side...

If you have ever played a game, have even a passing interest in games or have kids with a switch then you’ll 100% know these aren’t real.
I know, I know, audience management, as long as they are entertained and all that rubbish but these are inherently interesting and one look at any of them by any gamer and you may as well get your Tenyo stuff out. Nice idea but too easy to spot as obvious and slightly embarrassing props. |

I wanted to make sure they would look as good as possible so I took them to gaming conventions and performed various routines with them. They look just like the real thing and honestly nobody questions the games but it’s a simple thing to switch the game stickers out for something more legit if you wish. Until you have seen them and held them you won’t realise how legit these cartridges actually are Thanks |

There were so many prototypes made for this effect and its injection molded as well as including the custom case for the props. So o get why it’s more expensive Hope that makes sense Thanks |

This is more like a copper / silver coin set. It means there are more options for routines and in fact there are ten routines on the project and the majority don’t even use transpositions at all. Glad you like Flip Balm though Thanks |

For example Discovery is a one trick pony (amazing trick but only one routine). Level Up has multiple routines and effects taught on a two hour tutorial. There is a lot more than you can do. I think that’s something to take into consideration as well Hope that makes sense |

I don't think this release is for me, but I really have to say I love how open Craig is on here about his releases.
If every creator would answer as many questions about their releases that would prevent many purchases that end up in the bottom drawer. And at the same time I would think this approach also pays off for the creators in the long run. Sure, some won't purchase the item in the first place, but those who do can do so with confidence and avoid disoppointment. Happy customers will most likely be returning customers. I for one have not bought a ton of Craig's releases (about 5, I think), but when I did, I knew beforehand that I was buying stuff I was going to use and I loved all of them. Well done (again), Craig! Keep up the good work! |

This looks brilliant like all stuff Craig releases ????
That said, I have a question: how do you justify bringing with you a set of Nintendo cartridges, since I am pretty sure you don't also bring with you Nintendo switch console as well ???? Thanks! Francesco |
