IMPOSSIBLE

(Based on 1 review)
In fact, as early as two years ago, this product started to be played at magic conventions in all countries, restaurant extension tables, friends gathering, buying sports coupons, and was played by the boss cue. The performance must have been broken a thousand times.

The prototype was even in Malaysia in 2018. There were professors at the conference lectures. Although it was enough at that time and could fool many people, it still caught some minor problems and imperfections... After these intermediate trials, TMA officially launched this final version of the impossible color card this year. Two years ... I spent two years delving into this process... All the possible situations you will encounter, I have all encountered And all can be resolved, you will never encounter a situation I have never encountered product features:

1. Can be shown to the audience repeatedly immediately, and the audience will feel more magical

2. Easy to carry

3. Friends of all sizes can intuitively understand the color correspondence

4. Excellent interaction

5. Absolute combat

Overview

You receive 10 cards, two sets of 5 matching colored cards - one for you and one for your Spectator. Each of you will shuffle your packets and through a series of different choices by your Spectator, your colored card will exactly match theirs. The Spectator can change their mind at any point and you will still match with their choice. This is a nice effect as shown in the trailer (with one exception), please read the rest of the review for more explanation. Also please note that this review is based upon the regular size cards not the jumbo.

Effect

This is a card matching Mentalism routine where you and your Spectator will each have 5 matching colored cards. The Magician will miraculously predict and match each of the Spectators choices after each of you has shuffled when the cards are turned over they all match.

Method

This effect works on a couple of simple and basic principles that you are already aware of. Once you know the two secrets involved, you could use playing cards in substitution for the cards you are provided with. However as we use mostly playing cards all the time, these colorful cards are a nice change.

Product Quality

The cards you receive are not high quality like Bicycle cards that you are used to. It is a very low quality stock and very thin. It has a matte finish, no protective coating and they are difficult to handle as they tend to stick together in a block so be careful with them. Will you Spectator have a problem shuffling them - probably. Would some fanning power help - probably. Due to this low quality and much handling by your Spectators they may be easily bent and not have longevity you want.

Ad Copy Integrity

The YouTube instructional video you get is not great, it is an overhead single shot tutorial. The quality of the video is good but as English is not Hank’s first language it sometimes very hard to follow. I had to replay it a number of times before ‘I got it’. You will learn four different routines but not all the one shown in the trailer where the Magician puts his card down first before the Spectator and it matches. This was kind of disappointing as I really thought that was amazing.

Depending on which website you find to purchase this effect, it will not be very clear. A few that I found were very confusing as the one found in the description above. Yes, it is easy to carry (it’s a packet effect), it can be repeated immediately with no reset and it is interactive.

Final Thoughts

The routines will not always be perfect as seen in the tutorial so you will have to think on your feet to keep up with what your Spectator does. As mentioned you will learn 4 routines but be they will be different every time. The cards can be inspected by your Spectator without worry of having the ‘secret’ revealed. However, depending on your eyesight, you may find this very difficult to so. You will want to do this quickly and flawlessly which may even with practice be challenging to do. The effect can be immediately repeated with no set up and with a different outcome each time. Please know that this is not great for strolling unless you have access to a table or any other flat surface. The concept and routining is very good if you can accept all the comments above but as a purchase and the deficiencies noted I would pass on this one and have deducted my star rating accordingly.
