Its a cool concept. But its pretty flimsy. Its not good for street/close up magic. And the flip is pretty visible. You can also tell its multiple cards put together. The video teaches you to make your own too but it requires a lot of other tools to recreate it. You arent able to had out the card for examination either. Like i said, cool concept but not really made as good as it looks in the video. I wouldn’t recommend it.
