Yes, simply put, awesome. I was quite hesitant in ordering WINDOW, because of the price tag, but now that I've done it I'm quite happy.
Gimmick:
The gimmick is a heavily modified version of a classic gimmick, which if it isn't exposure I'll post the name of. It isn't fragile at all, but you still shouldn't go tossing it around and stepping on it. The gimmick could, theoretically be re-made, but it would be incredibly time-consuming and tedious. If someone were to look at the gimmick, they could probably figure out the effect. That's probably why they don't sell refills. The gimmick is not clunky at all, and is incredibly convenient to set up. In fact, most of the set up is done in front of spectators. There are two parts to the gimmick one on your side of the glass, and one on the other side of the glass. The gimmick can be noisy though and it could be seen without the right angles.
8/10
Effect:
This isn't so much a card through window as it is a card change or card transpo through window. None-the-less it's incredibly visual and looks like a camera trick, even when done live. I don't use any of the presentations in the DVD, I came up with my own, which is sort of a failed prediction effect.
9/10
DVD/Teaching:
The quality and editing in the DVD is great, no complaints. One thing to know is that the teaching is silent, which can be somewhat annoying. You'll have to re-watch to figure out what to do.
7/10
Difficulty:
Took me a very short time to get down. I was really excited to get this, so I practice for about five or six hours straight. It can be somewhat difficult if you have small hands, but that problem is solved if you use a silk handkerchief or bandanna.
4/10---1 being Do-As-I-Do-self-working, 10 being Raise-Rise-knuckle-busting.
Overall:
Get it, you will not regret it. Most card through window mechanisms are $300 dollars, WINDOW is more than your average effect, but it's still well worth it. I do want to talk a little bit about the price though. The gimmick doesn't seem like it would cost more than a few dollars to make. I figured that because it's hand-made, that's the reason it costs so much. Then I remembered that Michael Ammar's "Moving Pips Cards" are also hand-made, but are very cheap. Just a little rant there. Get this right now, you won't regret it.
8.5/10 Get it.
