Honestly, this gimmick is ingenious. I would have never thought of the design, and overall execution behind the method for this amazing effect. However, my personal experience with the one I got in the mail was disappointing, and frustrating. Is it suppose to be hard to get the pips to move across the card at first? I asked theory11 support, and some guy told me I was suppose to "break the gimmick in". I just thought mine was defective. Did you guys encounter this problem with yours?
