Key points
The trick is beginner-friendly with no difficult moves required.
Includes durable gimmicks: one gimmicked envelope, one non-gimmicked envelope, and a gimmicked Bicycle card.
The tutorial is comprehensive but lacks some nuanced handling tips.
The trick is angle sensitive and requires sound misdirection during the 'load'.
Priced at $40, it's considered well-valued for the quality and creativity.
Suitable for card magicians, close-up, and walk-around performances.
