I was very impressed by the VIDEO performance of this trick. I could not really figure out how it was done so decided to invest. I am sorry I did. First, I like to do close-up magic and the impression I got watching this routine was that it was for close-up work. Well, it is NOT. I would expect your audience would have to be at least 3 meters away from you, otherwise they WILL see how it is done. Once again I got fooled by the video camera. If the light/dark setting had been normal anyone watching the video would have figured this out. It has to be performed on a black mat, or a perfect black topped table and it does take some time to set up, maybe a minute or so. There is also construction involved to assemble the components you use. Everything is provided. The concept behind this illusion is original, but I can see one having all sorts of problems pulling this off if your audience is too close, or the lighting wrong. This is a trick that plays very well in front of a properly set camera, not so well in front of improperly set people. I doubt I will ever use this again.
