What Magicians Say
Wayne Goodman, who purchased multiple sets, praised the trick for its built-in comedy and audience engagement: "When the first person turns it over, it says 'Win a Drink,' and they go 'Oh!' By the second and third person, the whole group is cheering... When that last one gets turned over, the guy says, 'Oh, I win a drink as well,' and you go, 'No, you buy the drinks!' It's comedy gold."
