Random I-Tunes Song of the Moment: Stick to Your Guns by Bon Jovi

For $20.00 you get one-sided piece of paper worth of instructions, and a little something extra needed to make the trick work. That's it. However, the effect is very visual and the concept has a lot of potential for other routines. Jesse mentions a couple extra ideas in the instructions.

The stuff that you need to make the effect work can be purchased at any stationary store. The problem is that you have to buy it in bulk at the stationary store. For $35.00 you can buy a box of this 'special something' which will literally last you forever. It's enough to create 800 gimmicks . . . yes I actually did the math.

Jesse supplies you enough to make four gimmicks.

A few considerations:

Each card box that is gimmicked can only be used to reveal the same prediction. Thus if you want a different prediction, you need to make another gimmicked box. As I mentioned, you can make up to 4 with the materials supplied. The instructions are a little too general. I think with a little more thought and time, this could have been a much more solid product. The effect is top notch and solid, etc. But the actually product (i.e. the instructions) is not very polished.

It's almost like Jesse had a great idea - and it is a great idea - and he just quickly typed it up and printed a bunch of copies and sort of threw it together. In all fairness, it does also come with a color-printed half sheet with a few photos to help clarify, and the concept isn't hard to grasp, so you shouldn't have a problem.

If you watch the demo on Jesse's site and you like it, then get it. It's a simple gimmick to make, and it's very easy to perform.

Final Verdict:
3.5 stars - and a Stone rating of Gem.
