This is an economical version of the six card repeat effect. It is entirely mechanical. No sleight of hand is required. The instructions are easy to understand and straight forward. The cards are plastic coated and decently made. They should last a long time. Mine came in green backs with a non-standard design (i.e. not in Bicycle, Aviator, Hoyle, etc.). This makes it difficult to construct an entire deck with matching backs for these cards. Due to the construction of the gimmicks, they will not stand up to inspection. The price is great for an economical version of the effect. While the handling is simple using the mechanical gimmicks, I prefer an alternate handling where the gimmicks are ditched as part of the three thrown away cards. This leaves you clean at the end with six of the standard cards from the set. It also get rid of the thicker gimmicks so your six card packet gets thinner and thinner as you progress and looks more like you would expect. At the beginning of the effect you must be careful of angles as viewing from the side would expose a thick packet of cards.
