I think the real appeal of this trick is the simplicity. With just blocks of color you can perform this for kids, seniors, and international audiences alike. Love it 👍🏽.

[@magicorthodoxy]

ah-greed

[@jaimeobarreto]

Thanks David,your reviews always help me when considering a purchase,save me time and money,Im trying to figure it out the marks on the back of the cards since it comes without instructions.

[@magicorthodoxy]

you own the cards?

[@booman77377]

Been waiting for this one. Great review. I'm on the fence on it- I was really impressed with Xavior's vid when it came out, i figured what it could be but the presentation is really what I'm interested in. Hopefully the card quality has improved for the production run they're doing now. Thanks for the great reviews!

[@magicorthodoxy]

Heard the new cards were better. Hope so

[@marcussmagicreviews2436]

You’re on fire with these reviews bro. Liked!

[@magicorthodoxy]

Glad you like them!

[@robjacks2748]

Hey David, great review. It is almost an exposure of the trick. This reminds me very much of Michael Murray's The Door which uses blank NOC style ESP cards. The theme is matching the 5 senses. As a matter of fact I think the sequence of events is identical. I love this type of matching tricks. Stay healthy

[@magicorthodoxy]

very much an ESP deck done with NOC style cards

[@drrogerwoods]

I treated my set with fanning powder so they handle easier. Similar routines can be done with ESP cards. My wife liked the idea of coloured faces as I suppose it takes it away from the usual card tricks! Thanks for the fine review.

[@magicorthodoxy]

Great tip!

[@nevergiveup8526]

Great review as always David!

[@magicorthodoxy]

Thanks again!

[@TheRjohnson6697]

Mine should be here this week. Like you said, it's only $15. Hope I enjoy it...thanks for the great reviews

[@magicorthodoxy]

Heard the new cards were made better, you'll have to let me know

[@richardjohnson6168]

@@magicorthodoxy just got it in the mail today. Cards are still cheap feeling and won't fan. Not sure how much I am gonna use it, but hey ITS MAGIC!!!

[@robbfischer1041]

Thanks for the review. I was really hoping that the instructional video would show how to deal with more scenarios. In the performance videos that come with the product the performance shows some really ideal situations where other spectators are actually picking which card the magician puts down, and it always matches! I feel they didn't fully show to handle all of the different possibilities and combinations you will encounter. I just got mine last week from Big Guy's Magic in Wisconsin (via Murphy's) and the cards are like you described them.

[@magicorthodoxy]

weird, some people are getting plastic cards

[@kenshinamagi4464]

Hey David! I always enjoy watching your videos! This is just a request but at some point do you think you can you make a video about the “best trick you’ve ever bought”? I know you are trying not to be biased and you’re trying to give your honest thoughts but it will help me a lot! Thank you!

[@magicorthodoxy]

maybe one day, right now I have way too many reviews to do - they keep me busy

[@kenshinamagi4464]

magicorthodoxy magicorthodoxy Oh yeah I can imagine. Great!! Love your reviews!

[@joshuarodriguez4434]

So just to be clear, there are now instructions to go along with the cards?

[@magicorthodoxy]

yes

[@CrossroadsMystic]

In the trailer portion of the video (at 2:23) the text “Delicate waterproof gimmick & online instructions” is shown. I’d figured this meant the cards were waterproof/plastic... but then you say the card stock quality was meh. So what does that line mean/refer to?

[@magicorthodoxy]

maybe the cards have improved over the ones I have? What does "delicate" mean?

[@minkexmachina1627]

Maybe it's a translation error and it was referring to a "delicate watermark"?

[@photobro]

@@magicorthodoxy I think they're trying to say that the gaff is very delicate and not obvious. You even admit that you and a friend took quite some find to figure it out.

[@CrossroadsMystic]

magicorthodoxy not according to the only review (so far) at Penguin, they say the card stock thin.

[@jodybirchfield7247]

Would these be OK to laminate to last longer and maybe be easier to handle?

[@aaronwallis5545]

I have to ask, will i work it out for myself or does he actually teach how you can put the card down first, because this would be the reason I would buy the trick.

[@magicorthodoxy]

you put it down first, but you might be wrong - there are better matching effects out there

[@simonhart2186]

Pulled the trigger on this last week but it’s on back order so might be a couple of weeks before I actually have it. Kinda thought Xavior’s might be a perfect scenario but it still looked awesome - the frustration on his face 😂 Great review again David

[@magicorthodoxy]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@somethingafal]

The colours seem like a nice alternative to ESP cards but I'm not sure how well this would go for people who are colour blind. Thanks for the review!

[@magicorthodoxy]

that's only about 4.5% of the entire population ....

[@felixbotingyap4808]

Noice, keep going David, I really you keep creating content for us at home, thank you.

[@magicorthodoxy]

More to come!

[@liangslee6360]

I read below someone got plastic version of the cards? Mine was paper. And the paper cards had kinda rough quality to it.. David any idea if there was a version upgrade to the product? Maybe after they official launched it? I got mine before the official launch directly from Hank

[@magicorthodoxy]

I did hear the new cards were plastic

[@liangslee6360]

magicorthodoxy oh man.. i wish mine were plastic too. Dang lol. I already bought 2 sets previously though 🤨

[@photobro]

Just rec'd my 2nd set directly from Hank - I can say that the only thing that's changed is the quality of the printing. It's much crisper, and easier to read the gaff. Deeper color saturation on the back for sure. The stock feels the same, and they weren't stuck together. Just realized they're cut to bike size, not noc like the 1st batch. fyi.

[@pacozaaskr14]

How is the teaching on this? Does he teach how to handling different out come?

[@RobHollander]

Thanks as always David. I did get this. My only complaint is that the marks are a bit hard to read and distinguish from one to the other.

[@magicorthodoxy]

were your cards paper or plastic?

[@RobHollander]

@@magicorthodoxy You know it's hard to tell. Like you said they are far from being bicycle stock. You can't spread them like bicycle. They could be paper with a semi-gloss coating and matte finish. I just got them in the mail last week from Penguin.

[@ckelley32873]

Enjoy the trick . I was actually with him during the presentation on xavior and bought it right after lol

[@magicorthodoxy]

Nice !!!

[@LK-uw9yb]

Baisically this is replacing 5 m....d ESP symbol cards with 5 m....d color cards ?

[@magicorthodoxy]

you're right, it's basically an ESP trick

[@TheTNRangerOfficial]

Easily trick of the year for me. I LOVE it!

[@magicorthodoxy]

wow - high praise

[@TheTNRangerOfficial]

magicorthodoxy absolutely. I’ve spent the last 3 days going over every scenario and how to play it successfully. It takes some work, but the reactions it gets is fantastic. Also, on the quality of the cards, as you work them in, they handle quite nicely. I like the way they’re made. You can use a damp cloth and clean the oils and stuff off them to keep them looking new

[@zerohourtv256]

Great review as always

[@magicorthodoxy]

Thanks again!

[@dblebovic3917]

Would I be correct in saying that this is actually a one-behind routine?

[@magicorthodoxy]

.. it could also be one ahead. The routine could really be anything you want it to

[@dblebovic3917]

@@magicorthodoxy got it, thanks. keep it up!

[@MexieMex]

I think this is so close to being a great effect but somehow just falls short, that's not to say it couldn't be made into one, it just isn't one as shipped (and I've not given it enough thought to make it into something else).

[@magicorthodoxy]

:D

[@redsabr]

This sounds a lot like Card-Shark’s ESPionage, only changing the ESP symbol cards to color cards.

[@magicorthodoxy]

YEP

[@Coachratanak]

Love ur content

[@magicorthodoxy]

THANKS !!!!

[@JustAnOldDude]

Thanks for the review David. I just picked this up. Kind of disappointed. Not with the cards so much as with the online instructions. Hank doesn't really cover the effect as presented in the trailer - specifically where the magi puts his card down first (before the spectator) and they still match. In the trailer that goes on repeatedly and that was my primary reason for purchasing it. The markings on the cards are so minuscule that you really need super vision to see them (IMO). I do not see how you could perform this in a low-light situation (again - as presented in the trailer). Nice review - I gave you a thumbs up, but would probably give the trick a thumbs down.

[@magicorthodoxy]

Thanks for stopping by! Like I said in the review "the trailer is the best possible scenario" when he puts it down in advance - he waits to see what THEY put down and then ASKS if they want to change their mind, or they can change HIS card.

[@MayurMagicMan]

How can this be one ahead. He places his card first and also reveals after spec deals his card.

[@magicorthodoxy]

he got lucky those times - the trailer is a "perfect scenario" if the cards hadn't matched, he would ask the spectator "now maybe you'd like me to swap a card?"

[@kimfromnewyork]

100% accurate review!!!
