Sebastian reviews The Hancock Effect by Kyle Purnell, a modern card transformation trick where a signed card visually changes into another signed card in an impossible manner. He praises its clever method, instant reset for practicality in performances like table-hopping, and thorough teaching with multiple options, though notes it requires a specific card type from the spectator's deck. Overall, he highly recommends it as a strong, commercial effect for magicians seeking visual miracles.
