It is just that it is presented as a revolution, but is in fact some added finesses (real improvements maybe) to a routine I was already performing.Īnyway, this is no big deal and I am glad I made the purchase anyway. I don't think something completely wrong has been made. I agree with what you say of course (as I said it myself). If Cummins didn't have a problem with its release, I don't see why anyone else should. To the extent that it resembles his effect in plot, I feel it is more deceptive in both method and presentation.'įurther, he got permission from Cummins to release the routine. While it isn't mentioned 'right away' Paul very clearly states that Diplopia is “an extension of Paul Cummins’ brilliant routine Tap A Lack. The only thing is that, even if Tap a lack is mentionned as a source, I think it should be announced right away in the manuscript that this is a 'remake' of it and not talking about Tap a lack as one inspiration amongst many other ones. So if I choose to do a math trick (which none come to mind in my repertoire) I must make sure I am well rehearsed. I just have not had good luck performing math under pressure. The thinking is very clever and I will definitely use several ideas from this manuscript.ĭon't be scared the math is very simple. Even though I am not going to use this I did feel it was worth the $15. If math is no problem for you I would highly recommend this effect. I personally do not do well with math under pressure. So I wouldn't be able to keep practiced with this effect.

So the only time I would be able to perform this would be with a borrowed deck which is very rare. But it does require a complete deck which I never have after my first table. If this were an effect that I could perform on a regular basis then it would be worth learning the math. One thing that people need to know is there is some math involved here. Will I be doing this effect? No I'm afraid not.

The fact that you find their card is not as impressive as them finding yours. I bought this and the thinking is very good.
