Alex Boer from Murphy's Magic delivers an enthusiastic review of Richard Sanders' innovative effect, '30 Seconds to Stun.' This effect promises a powerful card-to-mouth revelation achievable in just 30 seconds, even for beginners, thanks to a cleverly designed gimmick. Boer highlights the effect's suitability for real-world magic, emphasizing its ability to create a genuine 'knockout punch' for audiences. The package includes two gimmicks – one made of Bicycle card stock and a more durable plastic version – and the tutorial is praised for its clarity and multiple camera angles, covering three phases and a 'Master Class' section.
