I agree with the previous reviewers that this is a quick and stunning trick. I have only two things to add. To give you an idea of the simplicity of the gimmick, I've made four of the gimmicks in 20 minutes.
Also I have found that making the gimmick a little larger than suggested makes the trick easier to set up and handle. Experiment a little in varying the size from Mr. Wilson's instructions to get the gimmick that works best for you. There is so little expense involved in making the gimmick that you can feel free to experiment.

The effect is simple: A fan of "indifferent" cards are shown. You pass your hand over them and they visually change into a royal flush which can instantly be handed out for examination. If you've seen the movie Shade, you've seen this effect. It's in the credits and title sequence. It's so visual, you'd swear that he's really rubbing the ink off the cards and changing them . . . heat sensitive ink or something.
But it's not true. In fact, you could do this with a borrowed deck. There are not extra cards involved. There is a gimmick, but you can make it in a few minutes, and it will work with just about any deck. Just get it. This month is the month of the gems, and Fan2C is far from being an exception. TOTAL GEM!

This effect is highly visual and the method is very clever. As Paul explains on the DVD, he fooled me completely the first time I saw it. What we have here is a visually stunning change of five cards into a Royal Flush - and the cards are immediately handed out. The required gaff is not supplied but is simply made by following the instructions. Paul not only explains the effect and method very clearly, he tell us how to get into it in performance. Several variations are also presented. Very good. Recommended.
