I'm glad you guys liked it. I use the gimmick in performance a lot, because you can have the spectator hold the unbent coin and sign it. Especially if you do it with sleeves so you can end clean. Great effect.

Most of it is copying and pasting, but I have to go back through and bold everything, and make it different sizes, and all that fun stuff. May I ask why you never use Ultimate Transpo? Sure, it's not impromptu, but if you carry the certain something in your deck all the time, you're ready to...

Sorry, I should have put them in the same topic. Mods, if you feel it's necessary, please move it. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Just so everybody knows, there are 3 parts to this essay.

Yeah, they do warp pretty easily. I don't get them out much, though. Thanks for pointing out my mistake... I fixed it.

Lee Asher's Diving Board Double The Official Spam- Preface- Guys, this is not going to be like my normal reviews, it will not be as long, or as in-depth, because I can only go so far with a review on a DL... so please, bear with me here. First off, I will not go to in-depth on each...

Bicycle Pro Peek Deck The Official Spam- The Looks: 7/10 I like the backs of these cards a lot. However, the fronts are not the greatest looking I've ever seen. They're basically jumbo index's with the card and their suit in the corners. This is, of course, great for poker players, but it...

Color Deception Brass The Official Spam- Setup: 5/10 The setup for this effect is fairly simple... meaning it's not hard, and it won't take long to do. However, the downside is that it cannot be done in front of your spectators, and you need an extra "something" to do it. Of course...

Shape of Things to Come- In this effect, you show a completely blank deck with symbols drawn on the faces, a notepad, and a Sharpie. You have them cut the deck as many times as they would like, then put the deck under the table. There, they choose one card to put under their leg, and another...

Front Row Sankey The Official Spam- The DVD- The Layout- I loved the layout of this DVD. Basically, it showed Jay performing each effect to a table (there are a couple different tables he performs at), and then it show him in the studio explaining the effect. However, the "Bonus...

Superman Coin Bend The Official Spam- Setup: 5/10 Obviously, this is not an impromptu effect, you have to have the "materials". But, as long as you have the "materials" on your person, setup literally takes about 3 seconds. It can be done in front of the spectators, and you don't have...

Scotch and Soda Euro (Traditional) The Official Spam- Setup: 6/10 Setup for this effect is a breeze, although it can't be done near your spectators. It only takes about 15 seconds (at the absolute most), but can be a tad noisy (owners will know what I mean). Difficulty: 4/10 This...

The Black Tiger Deck The Official Spam- The Looks- I like the looks of these cards, but they're not the best. I personally got the white pip only deck, just because I think the fans would look nice if they were all one color. My cousin has the white/red pip deck, and I'm honestly not sure...

I actually agree with you... I like these a lot better than the Masters. My opinion has obviously changed since I wrote this.

Empire Sponge Balls The Official Spam- The Instructions- Quality- The "instructions" come with one short routine that isn't that great. It is, of course, printed on paper. Teaching- The teaching for the routine was average... I have definitely seen better. It didn't go into...

For some reason, I don't really use Two Card Monte much, either. I used to, but it just doesn't have as big of a WOW factor as I expected.

The Effect- 10/10 To me, stabbing a hole in somebody's dollar, then immediately restoring it is pretty dang cool. The Gimmick- 8/10 Although the gimmick is very clever, some spectators, on a very rare occasion, may figure it out. Odds are, though, they're just thinking out loud...

B-2 Bomber The Official Spam- The Effect- 10/10 The effect itself is very impressive. People's jaws will drop when you tear a whole through their dollar bill, then instantly restore it. The Gimmick- 9/10 The gimmick is very powerful, more so than the Stealth Pen. This gives...

Ghost Deck The Official Spam- The Looks- I think the looks of this deck are fantastic. The black cards (Clubs and Spades) are normal. The red cards (Diamonds and Hearts) however, are far from normal. The pips in the middle of the card are completely black, while the small pips in the...

Hofzinser Force- This, is one of my favorite forces. You spread the cards between your hands, and ask the spectator to touch any card. You square up the packet above the card they selected, have them look at the card they touched, and it is your force card. Very good force. Hofzinser Force...
