Random I-Tunes Song of The Moment: Breaking The Law by Judas Priest

When you perform this, people will think that you're Breaking The Law (Thank you Judas Priest) . . . the law of nature . . . (tongue firmly planted in cheek). All cheeky comments aside, this is a serious workhorse. For $55 bucks you get three genuine nesting leather wallets, a small cloth, a DVD and a really, really clever and powerful piece of magic.

Here's why you should definitely buy this (assuming the effect appeals to you):

• First, the props are top quality. They'll last for years.
• Second, the effect is powerful.
• Third, the reset happens right in front of the audience in 5 seconds
• Fourth, the whole package takes up about the same amount of space as a deck of cards
• Fifth, you'll learn some cool ideas and routines on the DVD
• Sixth, you can cause a borrowed ring, coin, dollar bill (anything small) to vanish and reappear in the nest of wallets.

As far as the product, the quality, etc. this thing is solid as a rock. You'll need to work the leather wallets a little bit before they're show-ready, but Einhorn covers that. Also, don't expect to pick this up and be doing it the same day - you should never do that anyway. You'll need to spend some time getting familiar with working the wallets. They are NOT gimmicked, but you'll have to get used to handling them properly.

The advertisement copy is very accurate. I do however, have a couple of minor complaints.

In the trailer, you'll notice some footage of the ring hooked onto a key ring and some other footage with what appears to be a ring and string routine. When watching the trailer I was very excited to learn those routines. When watching the DVD, I watched his full performance of both the ring on key-ring effect and his ring on string routine. They were both beautiful and had some clever and magical moments.

I was totally jazzed to watch the teaching session. But alas . . . much to my grand disappointment, the "teaching" on this portion was this: " . . . if you want to learn the ring on key-ring and/or ring on string routine, you can find that on my Pro-Flite DVD." That DVD just happens to cost $50 - I'll probably buy it because it looks awesome, so mission accomplished. If the footage wasn't shown in the trailer I wouldn't have mentioned it, but since it's in the trailer, one could very easily be mislead into believing that the routines where taught on the DVD - I was.

On the DVD, he shows you a couple of different ways to combine this effect with other routines such as the above. Another similar example is combining the routine with a bill switch. But he doesn't teach, show, expose or even briefly cover the bill switch. He does mention some good resources to learn it, however.

The problem I have with this is that basically he essentially says, "you can do this with other tricks" but doesn't really teach those other tricks. But he performs them. It just felt a little incomplete in that regard.

However, having said all that, even without those things, the basic routine, handling, teaching, props and effect are by far worth the mere $55 price of admission. Einhorn claims that this will be the most essential purchase you make this year . . . he just may be right.

Final Verdict:
4.5 Stars with a Stone Status of GEM!
