The Matrix Pad

Richard Griffin

(Based on 1 review)
A small note pad is shown. Four spots are drawn in each corner of the pad with a sharpie. One by one with the rub of a finger the spots are visibly moved to end up in one corner of the pad. The top sheet with the spots on is now peeled off and given away to examine.

Includes pad, gimmicks and instructional DVD

PROS

This is a very strong effect. It uses a combination of methods to make the effect stronger and more impossible to the viewer. The effect ends with handing out a post-it with the dots re-arranged.

CONS

The effect involves a few gimmicks. Some of the gimmicks are very easy to lose and there is no explanation on the DVD of how to make replacements. It seems like there should be a simple way to replace these gimmicks, but without knowing what exactly they are made from, you might be at a loss for how to do so. I don’t think it would make sense to have to repurchase the entire effect just to replace these tiny gimmicks.

In addition, you should really consider where you might use this effect vs others and what might be stronger. I think this effect is more suited to casual, perhaps amateur magicians.

VERDICT

Nice effect, but the instructions were lacking in how to replace certain tiny gimmicks that could easily get lost.
