This is an awesome effect Mathieu! I use this a lot. It gets reactions like "Whoa, I wasn't expecting that!" The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because one of the methods ruined my gimmick. I tried to fix it but failed. That method didn't work. I still perform it but it is hard to hide the mishap.
Alexander Gr8 • Sydney • 05/13/13
The method is not that easy to execute. It's not that visual and harder to do than I thought.
Mercy • Wisconson • 05/09/13
It got here really quick. This effect is simply amazing and it gets the best reactions from spectators. I never leave the house without it. Great job Mathieu!
Mijrin • United Kingdom • 04/29/13
A very easy trick. Very impressive will always get a good reaction. Took roughly an hour to get the basic reveal down. You CAN buy extra decks once you have bought the DVD, all you need to do is contact support!
David • California • 04/28/13
Mathieu Bich has done it again! An amazing trick that is simple to do. You will get great reactions from spectators.
Tim • Germany • 04/19/13
Amazing trick! It's so easy to do and amazes everyone who sees it.
Kyle • Canada • 04/18/13
I have one thing to say.... BUY IT!
Noah • Oregon • 03/25/13
This trick is good and impressive, but I have just two problems with it:
1. The cutting of the cards should have been more exaggerated in my opinion. Maybe it was just my deck, but this is effect is EXTREMELY difficult, if not impossible, to perform in the classic routine.
2. You can't perform the change from one writing to another without not performing the original. I think you should be able to buy another deck without purchasing the DVD; that way it would be cheaper.
Magictouch • Greece • 03/18/13
WOW! Now that was awesome. Mind blowing trick. Great for walk around.
Gian • Switzerland • 03/11/13
It was awesome. I just love the trick!
Gegli • United Kingdom • 03/11/13
Awesome! Almost scary.
Patto • Portugal • 03/10/13
This is a great trick. Do not try to make the gimmick at home, it is impossible. I've already ruined two decks trying to make the gimmick myself.
Just buy the trick and you won't have that problem.
Jared Loi • Malaysia • 03/06/13
Unbelievably insane!!!
GJ • USA • 03/03/13
What a mind blowing trick. You reveal the wrong card on the side, which is still mind blowing because of the way it is revealed. Then you change that to the correct card, and people will scream out of awe! Props to Mathieu Bich and theory11!
Jacob • USA • 02/24/13
This is amazing! The gimmick is made perfectly for great performances.
Michael Kerins • Ireland • 02/17/13
This is a very good trick.
Jack • United Kingdom • 02/12/13
Great trick. Very visual and very versatile. I use it as a "get out of jail" revelation when pretending to have lost a card.
Lucas • Austria • 02/03/13
This trick is awesome, the reaction of the spectators are great. I recommend you buy it.
Ry'N • Australia • 02/02/13
Awesome effect, ideal if you know how to switch in an already examined deck for an awesome visual finale but even if you don't, most people will not suspect a thing. Slight criticism in that the initial preparation is harder than you may think - but well worth it.
Josh • UK • 01/26/13
This is very good trick, but it takes time to get used to the deck. The gimmick is great and you get very good reactions with this trick.
Zack Siddiqui • Del City, O.K. • 01/18/13
This is a simply brilliant method!
Great teaching!
Great price!
Great trick!
Thanks again Mathieu! You are a great inspiration and GREAT magician!
Jack • UK • 01/15/13
This is a amazing trick that I highly recommend buying since it always leaves peoples mind blown!
Austin Webber • United States • 01/13/13
This is an awesome trick and I feel proud just to review it!
Effect:
The effect is just awesome! Although the idea isn't Mathieu's this is some extremely powerful magic. Even the idea of ink appearing along the side of the deck is amazing, much less seeing it in person!
10/10
Method:
The method is simply ingenious. This is an excellent trick coming from an excellent magician. I wish I would have thought of it!
9/10
Difficulty:
While this trick isn't quite as easy as some say, this is still one of my favorites. It will take a little bit of practice, but it is time gladly spent for such an amazing trick. If you're a beginner magician and looking for some powerful magic, then this is the trick for you!
9/10
Gimmick:
This is a very clever gimmick that can only be factory made. If you try to make it yourself, all you'll end up doing is wasting a deck. You can't choose which card to force, but I'm happy nonetheless.
8/10
DVD quality:
The DVD is from T11 so it is just about top of the line. It is not the best they have ever made though. The camera is just a little out of focus for most of it. That and the added fact that it is filmed at night make it slightly hard to see. Overall though, this is a great DVD.
7/10
Price:
The price is just perfect for what you're getting. It's not too expensive and not too cheep. It all balances out to $25.
10/10
Overall:
Like I said this is a great trick from the mind of a great magician. The best thing I've bought from T11 in a long time!
9/10
Jonathan Orr • Oklahoma • 01/10/13
I love the trick I just wish it was a little more practical. Still looks epic to perform.
Anthony • Canada • 01/10/13
I LOVE this effect! It is really what magic is all about! A must buy!
Vladimir • Montreal • 12/31/12
Man! Mathieu Bich is a genius! EDGE is so awesome! You should have it! If you build a nice suspense for the final revelation, people are just gonna drop their jaws!
Pieter • Michigan • 12/31/12
Ok so I got this trick for Christmas from my girlfriend and when I watched the DVD I fell in love! It is an amazing trick.
Do • Vienna • 12/30/12
Awesome effect that will blow everyone away!
Josh Clarke • Prescott, AZ • 12/30/12
There is really nothing bad to say about this trick. It is nearly perfect. If I had one criticism, it would be that you have to be careful with the angle you slant the cards at towards the spectator or they may see something. Mathieu Bich is a genius and it shows with EDGE. This is definitely going into my routine.
Bryce Huckabay • California • 12/25/12
Being a fan of Mathieu, I wanted to buy this so bad. I got this for Christmas, and I watched it right away. This is my review of this super-visual effect called "EDGE."
EDGE: EDGE is truly something that you should perform at the right time, right place, and for the right people. I've performed this already, and my family is still confused, I caught my brother trying to steal it! This trick definitely is a keeper and if you buy it, never, ever, EVER lose it! EDGE is amazing, so I give it a 10/10.
Method: The method is pretty darn clever, although I will say you only have to use one deck, so if you wanted another one, you'd have to make it or buy another one (without the DVD of course.). So because of this, you'd have to protect it, but I like it either way, so I'll give it an 8/10.
Difficulty: This trick is so easy, you can pretty much perform this in a breeze and, as Mathieu says, it's almost ENTIRELY self-working, so I like it. 9/10.
Angles: The angles for this trick are pretty good, you can be completely surrounded performing this trick. They're not to shabby. 9/10.
Easy Presentation: In my opinion, this is a little bit too easy. 7/10.
Price: The price is the perfect price for what you're getting, and you're getting an awesome effect, awesome deck, awesome DVD, awesome teaching, awesome (clever) method, awesome presentations, awesome bonuses, and MORE! 10/10.
Overall: EDGE is pretty much a trick that you'd HAVE to keep and even though you only use one deck, it's still an amazing, super-visual effect anyway. You're just getting an awesome DVD and I can't stress this enough, it's the perfect holiday gift, and I highly recommend you buy it. With that said, I extremely love EDGE and I'm giving it a 9/10.
Gabe Goertzen • Aliso Viejo • 12/24/12
Great trick! Awesome job!
John • France • 12/23/12
Very great trick and visual. I just love it! Thank you!
Quinn • Launceston • 12/23/12
WOW! Take my money!
Carlos • USA • 12/17/12
The secret to this trick is really nice. It is completely ingenious.
Content: I was a little bit disappointed on the way that I can only force one card. I decided to use an erasable pen instead of a marker, and that sure solved the problem. Now I can force names, words, etc.
Price: The price is reasonable for what you are getting.
Difficulty: Easy as pie! No sleights needed.
Angles: Like most of the tricks, people can not stand behind you for about 5 seconds.
Rating overall 9.5/10
I do highly recommend this trick. You will have fun performing this trick.
Jahid • London • 12/13/12
Completely blew my mind. Always gets great reactions.
Cheryl • Singapore • 12/12/12
Mathieu Bich is a genius. Very visual, amazing magic. This is no camera trick and is simply mind-blowing. Here's a trick to add into many routines.
Jordan Amystika • Indiana • 12/10/12
This is brilliant! Great job, Mathieu!
Jamie • USA • 12/09/12
I have watched the content and have to say that I absolutely love this trick. The method is genius! I recommend it!
Jeff • Philippines • 12/04/12
I think Mathieu Bich can only do this, because the effect is more than incredible. There, wiping the EDGE of the deck of card, then the selected card is permanently shown written on the EDGE of the deck of cards. Great, fantastic, incredible, insane - that is MATHIEU BICH.
Will • England • 12/03/12
As soon as I saw this my brain exploded! This is so useful! Everyone should go and buy this! NOW!
laurent Mikelfield • France, Marseille • 12/02/12
Here's a visual effect that I love. I now use in my repertoire magic every time!

Absolutely brilliant. This effect is the best I've seen from Mathieu.

I never pooped my pants like this before...
Ian • Singapore • 11/26/12
This trailer is utterly convincing. I nearly fainted after the video.
Sam Morgan • England • 11/25/12
My jaw just hit my keyboard. This simply is awesome, a hard-hitting, ingenious effect by Mathieu, as usual!
Tim • United States • 11/25/12
Edge is another fabulous trick from Mathieu Bich. It's absolutely stunning and is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Ben Rafferty • Australia, Perth • 11/24/12
I was wondering why it was so expensive and now I know, so good and beautiful piece of work.
Craig • Melbourne • 11/24/12
The French have some really awesome magicians, don't they? David Stone and Mathieu Bich.
Bich is a brilliant creator, loved his trick on Fool Us, and this is 10 times better than that.
I thought the T11 crew was hyping the trailer on a FB post, but it truly is the best T11 trick released this year.
Fred Ericksen • Paris • 11/24/12
An amazing effect with a great impact!
Cameron • Petitte • 11/24/12
If you want to fool a spectator or magician, this is it. It will surprise the most skeptical of people.
Marcus Eddie • Austin, TX • 11/23/12
HOLY S***! Sorry... this looks AMAZING! Great job Mathieu!
Derek • Canada • 11/23/12
My jaw hit the floor when I saw this trick. Still trying to pick it back up, be sure to pick this one up!
