Anyone have any experience with this? I would appreciate some insight, it looks very neat but is it as practical as it seems?

 

[Chr!s]

Uuuuh that looks sweeeeeet.

 

[Jacob L]

I know right? I'm just wondering if you can do more than what it just gives you though, like a production somehow.

 

[Haunter]

It kind of looks so clean that it's dirty.

I get you. It looks too good. I hope it is as awesome as it looks...

 

[Jacob L]

How can it be that dirty though? The preview looks pretty clean when it vanishes and everything.

 

[SchNiTzELs]

You are pretty much just as clean as you are with tool.

 

[Jacob L]

But the box seems too fishy with Tool. I'm sure you can come up with the same applications as tool as with Redemption, they just probably are not advertised.

By the way, how clean are you with Tool?

I guess at the same time I'm looking at it as a magician. That might be why it looks too impossible. Kind of like the impact of having something levitate for a moment, just long enough to raise the question "Wait, is that FLOATING?", versus something like a hovercard spinning around for 90 seconds.


Bah, I'd get it if I wasn't broke. He should take that on Fool Us.

Yeah I see you're point. But this seems to happen so fast that it creates an immediate emotional reaction, where the mind won't think logically for the time being. By the time they come to their senses or sit down to think about it, you'll be long gone. And it doesn't matter if they figure it (or any trick) out after you've done it, because you had them when it mattered.

 

[Haunter]

Yeah that's true. It's so in your in your face and looks so clean. I wonder what clean up and reset is like and such.

 

[Jacob L]

It almost looks like there's none, although it looked like he cut the deck at some point after the vanish. I could just be over analyzing though haha, I'm really debating if I should pick it up or not.
