Alright. Now I want to know, if you had to chose between Distortion and Panic, which one would you have chosen?
I dont want to hear that it "depends" or something, I just want to know which one would YOU chose and why?

Thanks

Well, you might not like this, but it depends. What am I basing my decision off of? Is it overall effect presentation, the performer who teaches the effect, etc.

If we were going based off of just the trick itself, I would say Distortion, it is a beautiful effect and amazingly simple. Panic is a crowd pleaser, and extremely visual, but it all depends on your personal preference. I would check out some reviews on the effects, check out this thread for some reviews on both products.

Take care,

It really depends lol j.k ha well I have both and if I had to pick one I would choose Distortion because its visual and it happens on the spectators hands
 
I would say panic.

Distortion is a good trick, but even if its easy i think its more for the more experienced performer.

The reason im saying that? I think its a little "to perfect" and "to clean" so alot of people will probably tell you it was a fake card or something like that.

I know its not my presentation thats the problem, iv been working almost full time as a magician for a couple of years now but that just happends with some tricks, other exampels is tricks like coin bite, cig trough coin etc.
 
I was in that same position, What to choose? Panic or Distortion. I ended up choosing Panic. Panic is extremely easy, you'll love it, but it's your decision. It's extremely easy.
 
distortion

its clean, extremely visual, and the cards can be examined afterwards

but what i'm going to do is wait for change to come out and just use that instead of the distortion gimmick
 
I am having lots of problems wit hthe distortion gimmick. It is ver hard for me to ****
Does anyone have a pointers or suggestions?
