Panic Questions

[ac.nyc3]

For the people that have purchase "PANIC" i have some questions that need to be asked before i'm sure that i want to purchase it.
#1 Can this trick be done when you're surrounded be a crowed(like all angles it can't be seen)?

#2 Can it be done with a magician with small hands, beause if afraid that my hands won't be able to cover the gimmick or so?

#3 Can The Set-Up Be Done Blindfolded? i plan on doing some simple magic in the begining to get the audience hyped up and then end it off with PANIC. If the gimmick is in your pocket, can you simply get the gimmick ready when you pull it back out of your pocket?

#4 Lastly, is this trick worth it? Your welcome to give some feedback

Yes, you can do it sorrounded.
It doesnt matter you have small hands.
And yes! it Definetly Worth IT!

yes Panic can be done sorounded
works well with small hands
easy to do and definetly worth it

agreed with the above posts. I think having small hands may be an advantage as you can very openly display that, after the deck vanishes, you are not hiding anything

Yes, it can be done surrounded, hand size shouldn't be an issue, and YES this trick is more than worth it.

#3 Can this trick be set-up in front of the audience, like quickly?! i plan on doing some simple magic in the begining to get the audience hyped up and then end it off with PANIC. Then i would put the original cards that i started with, and then pull out the gimmick while at the same time saying that "i'll do something more amazing".

Panic can be used a closer. However, it requires some set-up, which is quick, but may be difficult to set-up, in front of an audience.

Small hands should not be a problem, and Panic can be done surrounded, though, like most tricks, it is not angle proof, but they should not be a problem. In my opinion, Panic is definitely worth the cost -- the gimmick is brilliant and the DVD is crisp and clear.

If your still unsure about Panic, feel free to check out some reviews in addition to The Dark Angel's, though his review is expansive and should suffice:

1. not completely surrounded, but you can probably hold the gimmick closer and hide it from the audience

2. I don't see why not.

3. It's a tossup really. It's a neat trick, great effect, but the simplicity of the gimmick makes you smack yourself in the head about how simple it is. sorta the "OMG, why didn't i think of that..."
