On Board
El Duco
(Based on 1 review)
After the spectator makes their best attempt, the performer hands the closed bag to the spectator, who opens it up and takes the board out himself. On the board is written exactly the same message as on the note pad.

This is a well made prop. The board and all the essentials are of high quality. The advertisement is truthful to the word. But;
And this is the but, there is one small problem.
The board is based on a somewhat currently popular child's toy. If handled by the wrong spectator (namely, a mother of a small child) she will quickly deduce the method.
A possible way around this is to use it more as a stage piece where no one will actually handle the prop. (Of course, that would not sound as good in the advertisement write up) I don't really think it hurts the presentation but that depends on what you expect to do with this piece.
In summation, it is a tough call; it really depends on what you think you can get away with. I would not let any spectator actually handle this prop, but from a distance I think it can work out. I think you can decide if it will work for you based on this explanation.
Only because it is too closely related to a current child's toy will I give it only 3 stars.
