What Magicians Say

Mark Travis from SaturnMagicShop expressed skepticism about the originality of the effect, noting that similar necklace productions have been performed for years. He mentioned, "I’ve seen people like F Presto and others flush-producing necklaces like this for donkey years." However, he acknowledged that the trick is easy to perform and could be a worthwhile addition for those who like the effect.

While the trick may not be groundbreaking, its simplicity and visual appeal make it a solid choice for performers who want a reliable, eye-catching production. If you enjoy quick, flashy magic with minimal setup, Forget Me Not could be a good fit for your repertoire.
