Very late to this party, but I just purchased this effect from my local magic shop yesterday (yes, a real walk-in magic shop, that I only discovered a few months ago, and I think they might carry Theory 11 decks? Not 100% positive though.) after seeing and reading much about this online. I watched the entire DVD last night and, as with other Sanders' effects I have purchased, the explanations on the DVD are very, very, VERY well done.
I went to a Walgreens today to pick up some gum packs (not a big gum buyer the last few years), and was very surprised to not find any of the types of packs in the video. I did find a similar type of gum pack, but it appears to be a "NEW" version of gum packs lacking the foil seal, so I'm very curious to see if it will work.
I do know another source for the foil sealed type packs, as it was the reason I purchased the effect, but I'm not 100% positive how they will work out in the end due to a slight difference in their case design from the ones I saw in the demo.
Anyway, sorry for bumping a way older thread, I'm just excited to be finding new effects (to me), and glad to be in a community that seems to be pretty active all around and thought this effect be of interest to some that missed it.
