The simplicity and visual aspects of this trick totally exceed the fact that a gimmick is involved. I am only a hobby magician but at all my close up gigs this trick really creates a whole new level of visual magic.

Ingenious gimmick.

I was a little dissapointed when I found out a gimmick was involved. Also there is no live performance. I have a funny feeling there is a good reason for that. Personally I don't think that I could get away with performing it live and it seems a little impractical. (I must admit I'm only a novis, but I learn very quickly and I'm not sure if I will use it.) Here in Australia, the spectators are extremely determined to catch you and are ALWAYS burning your hands and therefore it would require a lot of good audience management.

An awesome visual card rise! The gimmick is simple yet very effective. I highly recommend this.

I recommend this trick because it is simple, original, and creative. New magicians will be able to pick it up quickly and experienced magicians can perfect and tweak it to their own style.

Pros:
The gimmick is simple, easy to make, and inexpensive.
The trick is simple and clever.
Full handling of the trick is explained.

Cons:
Modifications to the gimmick could improve the trick.

I have purchased most of Dan Hauss's effects and I must say this is my favorite. Takes a little bit of setup, but it shouldn't take about 5 minutes max. By far the best Ambitious Card Routine ever. If you like Dan Hauss you will love this.

This is a very cool trick, with a simple method. It does need some touch ups, but it's awesome. Take my advice, and invest in this trick.

I think it's a great little effect. Simple to execute, direct in effect and it's a very workable gimmick.

If you liked PANIC! you'll love RIOT.

I watched the preview several times late last night, and I had absolutely no clue what was going on. The credits to Paul Harris implied the method, but it still fooled me. Incredibly visual. Simple in execution. While I am practicing (and you do need to work at it), I keep looking at it in the mirror thinking it can't really look that cool, but oh, it does indeed!

Amazing illusion. The method is brilliant and easy to execute well after some practice. I just got back from a party and tried it and got killer reactions. Only 4 stars because its a bit angly but that can be managed easily.

This trick is amazing! With no cover the card rises to the top, with only one hand. I am glad I bought this. I suggest you buy this, but there is a gimmick you need to make but for such a low price, definitely worth it!
