I'm honestly so disappointed by The Fall. What are your thoughts? As always, there's more information in the video description.

Respect your brutal honesty! Subscribed!

What i love about your videos is you always show us the item inside the box. I know there are many magic reviewers want to keep the secret for the trick so they can not show everything in the box, the just only "tell", but you always show us exactly what we gonna receive and i really appriciate that. Keep doing that, please.

I was soooo awaiting a review on this. Thank you for the straight up facts they hid and did not disclose in the trailer. I'm so frustrated dealers continue to support these type of effects and trailers that are not honest. And this trick is 40.00 US! Wow

Thank you for your honest opinion. We need something like this more often. Then many creators wouldn't throw so much crap on the market. Thank you

Reminds me of those three other marketed releases by Noel Qualter: “Shit-faced!” - a picture of a public toilet vanishes and re-appears stuck to your forehead. No magnets! “Fumbled!” - a folded square of tissue paper disintegrates into little pieces behind the performer’s back, before being discovered scattered across the floor. No rough and smooth! “The Burp” - a utility item enabling a multitude of effects, including the impression of being an utter prick. Instantly repeatable!

Many thanks for your honesty!

Great review, thanks for pointing out the shortcomings

Warning to the magic 'mafia', we won't tolerate your rubbish 'products' any longer. You'll be outed for your misleading products. Thank you for your honesty many stand with you!

Thank you for a wonderful review. I think l will pass on this. 👍👍👍👍

Thanks for republishing the video. There was nothing wrong with it in the first place. Keep going with these good reviews. I'm enjoying them and find them very helpful 👌

Great review, thank you.

Thank you for review unfortunately I have it on order from Alakazam last week before I have seen this and I just saw Harry's video first challenging this and then I watched yours after and you seem very straight forward in the way you justify your opinions about it. If I had seen this before I ordered it I might have been hesitant placing the order. I will feedback once I have mine in my hand. I agree about knowing where to get replacements of things you need like putty. What annoys me the most is some effects come without the extra things you need to do the effect and it isn't mentioned and in this case the putty is supplied but not explained where to get more. I started magic in 70s and 80s and 90s when you had to go to a magic shop usuallt before internet so you could ask all these questions face to face and see the effect demoed. I have got lots of magic I bought like this that are still in box upstairs because I find they are not workable as perceived. I am autistic so I need clear unambiguous information and I was convinced by trailer this is a real worker.

Thank you for an honest review, saved me some money

I just re-discovered you. Unfortunately, I already purchased "THE FALL" but next time I will consult you before I spend my limited "miracle money" Thank you for such honest and well presented reviews. 🙁ED

Great review👏🏼👏🏼

I actually really liked this video when it originally came out and i came back to it after watching Pigcake's video. There's such a shortage of honest reviewers of magic on youtube. I really don't understand why everyone got so worked up around it. Keep doing what you're doing bro. Much love.

Thank you for the review. I also watched Craig Petty's rant. Between the two I learned more about this product than I would have if you hadn't done the review. Craig has a minor point that perhaps you could have ignored some criticisms like the confusion over why Matthew is on it... who cares. However, I could make the same point that Craig should have just ignored these points as most viewers are going to ignore relatively insignificant points, such as why Matthew is on the video. All in all, thanks for the review.

You saved me 40 bucks, very appreciative, thank you!!

Thank you so much Scott. This was so helpful. And I agree with you on the putty refill point. Why are creators withholding information on things like this when we have already bought your product and paid for the information full price?!

Interesting review and thanks for posting. Have watched Steve Faulkner's review, which is worth watching too and Alakazam's. Irrespective of my thoughts I got the feeling the Alakazam review came across as a bit of a personal attack on you re: your review. Your review along with Steve's has certainly got a conversation going around the product as to it's merits and limitations. Got yourself a new subscriber.

I have just discovered your channel because I bought a SpiderPenX. I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree that there is exposure in this review. Something you seem to be very good at not doing in your other videos. Instead of describing how your hand goes under the plastic with the deck you should have just said there is a point during the trick where two magnets come together and there's a loud click. Let's said this was an excellent and useful review it might save many people lots of money. Excellent.

You just gained yourself a subscriber. THIS IS WHAT WE NEED MORE OF IN THE MAGIC COMMUNITY!!!

Brilliant review. Can't stand tricks that are so limited in where you can perform them. Dealers know they are not workers. Love your videos.

Very honest review. I saw Craig Petty do a review of this and he had Noel on and was very chummy with him. He then gave it a rave review saying you can perform it anywhere. On stage, walk around, close up at etc. I knew this to be wrong as just by looking it, I knew the method, and could see there were all kinds of issues with it. One thing I hate is chummy reviews where they hype the trick. The problem is, magicians are used to being less than honest in their patter and this kind of thing seems to come naturally to some and over spill into other areas. Also Harry Nardi was totally unprofessional in his comments on your honest review. Thanks for giving the real view of this. I wouldn't have bought it anyway as the load looks terrible and the removal of the top card is obvious. I shall certainly follow more of your reviews and not buy anything from Alakazam after this, as well of being very wary of anything Craig Petty has to say in future!

Thanks as always for your honesty

Thanks for the honest review. Appreciated 👍

Thank you ! Thank you! Your honesty is refreshing. .

Wow thank you! Subscribed!

Thanks for your honesty. This trick is a fall! Save your money.

Thank you very much!!

Your reviews are awesome. Finally someone who tells the truth! Really helpfull for proffesionals! All this other guys seem to be working for vanishing inc and selling more than reviewing 😂 Thanks!

Really love these totally honest reviews. Keep them coming please. 😊

Is this done with two identical cards, magnetized together, which you put on either side of the plastic? And when you do the move, you use another magnet to lift the top card? Wouldn't that cause an issue with the plastic if done wrong, or if done too often? How strong is the plastic? It would explain why they don't clearly show them putting the card on the plastic, because that must be the toughest part to do without revealing anything. Or is my idea wrong? I realize there must be other details in the routine, but based on my guess and what this reviewer is saying, this does not seem like a quality trick.

KZfaq brought you my way. Thanks for the review. I had been considering this .... Not anymore. And a new Subber for you. Cheers buddy.

The trailer infers that you can drop the card on the plastic then almost immediately slap it and it goes through. That therefore is in my opinion an unfair trailer because you CAN NOT DO THAT. There is something that the trailer misses out that you need to do…and therefore the trailer is in my opinion unfair. How do I know what you need to do…I’ve seen Noel himself perform it. If the trailer was fair it would show the entire performance without anything edited out so that potential customers can make a fair informed choice about whether they want the trick or not. The sad part is that the ‘thing’ you need to do isn’t even that bad/hard. I’d have much more respect if that part was kept in the trailer. Out of principle I will not be buying this. Trailers need to reflect what you will get after your have spent your hard earned money on the trick. There are too many trailers made in this fashion nowadays. In short…Noel himself doing the trick is not the same as Noel doing the trick in the trailer. That ain’t right.

Such an evidently powerful effect must have _some_ contexts where it works very well. A small group of adults standing around you, for example; do it and create a major buzz. When begged, do it again later. (It can be repeated later, but not in a typical high-rotation walk-around context; you may be right.) Too many reviewers accentuate the positive, but there's a risk _here_ that you have accentuated the negative. Sure, the marketing claims can be contested. However, I've seen worse offenders than The Fall... Your review, and Steve Faulkener's, provide _very_ useful information though. Some people who watch your review can sensibly decide to buy it anyway. I wonder why so many viewers, reviewers, and sellers are so _sensitive_ about one person merely saying something that they disagree with. They seem to think that what one person says online will totally persuade anyone who views it. So, in umbrage, they strive to condemn and nullify those they disagree with. Why can't people let differences of opinion simply pass by with little or no comment? Sigh.

Watch Steve’s review on real magic review. He’s having a splendid time with it

I don't own the effect, but I have watched the dealer video so I understand how it works. There are some points in the review I disagree with, and some other points I think probably are justified. It is as stated just an opinion on it, not sure the reviewer deserves the backlash he seems to be getting.

Do you think that you could use the silent assassin with this instead of putty/magnet combo

Thanks for the honest review. Could you do the trick with a business card to minimize the restrictions?

Great job 🫶🏼

Your honesty just saved me money. Thank you. So many KZfaqrs seem to blow smoke regardless of product quality, whether to keep friends happy or get free stuff from magic suppliers. Respect for not playing the game.

by 3 mins in i figured out the workings...then you went on to say small hands no good well that blows me out the window and without pinkies it would be impossible i can not palm because of it...thanks saved me a few £££...

Okay. So I have bought this effect. Having watched this review. I would like to give some feedback. Firstly I would agree that if you are wanting something that comes straight out of the box with no skill needed of any kind, then maybe this effect isn’t for you. Yes, there are some things in the trailer that had people known about you may not have purchased this product. However, I have very small hands for a man and I find it difficult to palm cards, but practice practice and more practice has meant that I can palm a card without anybody seeing and therefore can palm this because it’s all about the presentation. You don’t need to be able to Palm a card to do this effect, if you think when you “push” the card through the plastic bag they are going to be burning your hand as you palm the card, then you need to look at your performance skills more than the method itself. Next. The gimmicks. They both fit in standard deck so what’s the problem. Could you have made these yourself? Yes of course, so why didn’t you? You pay for the secret. How many of us are still the same deck of cards we were at Christmas? I’m not. Reset. Yes Noel talks about going to a corner. How many do bill in lime or something then don’t reset? Angles. No issues at all. The effect means a person either side of you and someone in front. I’ve done this in a packed bar. “Raised stage”. Who’d thing of performing this on a raised stage? Not because of the angles but the audience would be too far away. But I could see that they are so far away that you could perform this. It’s all about the right effect for the right show and this isn’t The Falls fault. Having said that, whilst it doesnt

I bought The Fall and I think it's very good you cannot do it out of the box you have to put some practice time in but it is well worth it.

Interesting review, and good advice, but you did pretty much tell us how the trick works, which perhaps isn't a good idea. Good tip on where to get the super putty cheaply, though. PS I've found with similar gimmicks that sticking a bit of felt on the magnet gets rid of the click.

I don't own The Fall yet so I can't say I agree or disagree with any of your points here but I do appreciate your review. Seeing some of these top magicians acting like total cry babies in some of the comments on your videos is pretty hilarious. I'm just a hobbyist but enjoy their videos and companies but it really does come off as they are sticking up for their buddy. I've seen some of these people completely tear into certain magic products and nobody attacks them for their opinions. I can see where you are coming from and where they are coming from on certain points from just watching the trailer but you seem to be the only one in control of your emotions! For all I know ya'll are all Freemasons and planned this out to hype The Fall, which I doubt but the world is a crazy place!...LOL

Just my opinion but I absolutely love this trick Think I might buy a second for a back up

Hi Scott, what are you 10 best walkaround effects? :)

Ok, card in plastic bag comes to mind….similar premise but way easier and more practical if you wanted to do this sort of effect. Now regarding the magnet, a clear plastic ring with a magnet attached to the top of it would be a little bit more suitable and realistic for real world and a much better idea than putty. These are just some ideas that would of ‘improved’ the effect/idea. Unfortunately I’m making the best out of a bad situation. 10/10 Scott for information and honesty.

💯

This video and the controversy surrounding it has made this channel my favorite magic review channel. Easily the most useful tool in deciding if i should buy a trick!

I am tempted to buy this any chance you can review cheers Tempo Elf by Mental Tom & Wings Magic

After thinking about your review, I think it would be beneficial for you to try to put magic products into one of several categories: This is amazing, likely to be a classic / This is great / This is really good / This is good / This has a few limitations / this is not workable or breaks easily / this thing doesn't even work. After watching a few reviews I would say this product falls in the "this has a few limitations" category. You could have dispensed with many points such as the hand made "issue" and the matthew "issue".

I mean it’s a item through glass table without a glass table. The “thru window “ sell is just to hide the bleeding obvious.

Thank you so much for this video. I was considering purchasing this because I was sucked in by the trailer. I would have been furious if I had purchased it and found out all of these things that they conveniently left out. Thank you for the heads up, we need more honesty in magic...

Soooo much good information here. I'm sorry you appear to have copped so much flak for the review. I understand it's a fine line between unboxing and explaining an effect's drawbacks AND revealing the method. Personally, I think you've navigated that line.... just.

Thanks for your Honest Review

Thank 🙏 I waited for this review 👌

You can use the deck and slam it on the card to force it through. If you get what I mean,so you don’t have to palm anything 😉

Great review, thx for the blacktack tip was needin some for DX.

Damn! Wish I saw this before ordering.

How are Magic props/ tricks covered by Trading Standards? How much of the cost is packaging and intellectual property? How much responsibility is there to provide replenishment information on consumables, laying out the physical requirements and environmental conditions that are prerequisites to performance? “Hello I’m a Magician. I deceive people for a living. Would you like to buy one of my products?”

Whoa! How did I miss this review? It's been making more noise in the magic community than Neil Quarters BLISS in a room full of KZfaq magicians with marketing degrees discussing how to make your big bills disappear! Liars and cheats are the first to villify the truth. Keep pushing. Smilesotheylikeyou

Truth to Power. Thanks Man. Subbimg immediately.

Seems a card version of the sucker punch chip through table effect.

are you the guy who was in the paper this week only doing what the unmasked magician did in a way respect to u as magic n needs to keep evolving

Brilliant review, brutally honest…..

Interesting review. A little harsh imo. Craig Petty certainly thinks so! 😮 Also watched Steve Faulkner’s review which was a little more considered. I do appreciate a live performance from a reviewer.

I feel like the fact that you have to go underneath it brakes the illusion of it. The problem is this product should not exist in my opinion is a waste of money and time

I am all about honest opinions when it comes to magic product reviews, but with all due respect, this review reads like someone that maybe just started in magic. A lot of the points that you made in this review are either flat out false or grossly exaggerated.

It's a shit trick. I had to come here to see what all the fuss was about. I all honesty, I thing the method for vanishing the card was revealed, and even though that's only a part of the trick, I don't think you can claim you didn't reveal anything. Not that you care and I get that, so no sweat. Love your reviews, keep it up old chap.

Hi, why have you removed my comment?

Shit trailer for it too! You can clearly see him palm the card back on to the top of the packet after the "mystery move" lol !

way to completely reveal the method of a new magic trick on a public forum like KZfaq. I thought magic reviewers gave their honest opinion while respecting the secret to the magic.

This is a joke of a product review. Your complaints are largely ridiculous. I love that Alakhazams called this review and mocked your "review". If anyone wants to see a response to this largely a garbage take on the trick, check out the following link or check Alakhazam's response on their YT. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e8qEe5OCs7abo3k.html Btw this isnt a trick I cared for, but the complaints here are hilarious.

New Sub, I am so glad you are keeping things real 100% there are way too many people who will give their friends stellar reviews AKA. Quantum Deck, Lux and Chop (not a new concept). I think you and Unbiased reviews are the best because you have nothing to gain or lose by lying. Thanks for keeping it real in such a biased community.

You know it will be crap as soon as you see it has a pretentious name. As do most marketed magic products.

They kicked you out of the magic circle for that?!...WTF!!!?....What a childish and rubbish move!

The trailer is totally dishonest and at the critical part of the routine which has been edited out for good reason the spectators will know straight away how the tricks done when you do the critical move every time 👎👎👎👎👎👎

Sir, in my opinion, when you are criticising the creator for explaining the same thing multi times,you are doing the exact same thing yourself. And you should at least try to be more objective and analytical at the very beginning instead of playing your trump card right away.

Weird review.

Yet another example of utterly useless tat released then, just to keep the 'Magic community' amateurs happy. There are two positives I can see - (1) It comes in a nice box (2) it isn't yet another Rubik Cube puzzle 😴.....errrr sorry - 'trick'.

Jesus mate can you not just accept it's magic and it is a great trick if I'm honest your just jealous cos you say it all but there's nothing of yours out there and your just bitter I think alakazams review is great and puts you in your place tbh

Wow thank you I mean, technically you can buy refills of super putty such as on Saturn but for £8 a pop! but now! Im not going to anymore, now thanks to you it’s blacktack all the way (for about the same price) that will last years!. Must say, this is a contrasting review compare to what @realmagicreviews (Steve Faulkner) but was still honest on some points but overall cmore positive I was very interested, I have a friend who has bought it, so will see what he says

I am not associated with anyone, or any company involved in this project. But since you seem to think 10 years as a pro means anything, I have over 50 years in magic, and over 40 performing. Either semi-pro or full time. My credentials go far further than that. You also have some very big time names commenting, and seem to think too highly of yourself. None of our credentials should matter here. Any of our credentials. I was an active inventor, creator, and handmade manufacturer who quit after having so many products ripped off in the 70's and 80's. Many creators have quit for the same reasons. I only heard of you because of all the controversy you are creating. All tricks have limitations. All. Show me a trick with limitations, and I will show you myself, and many tons of performers pulling off a lot of tricks that take hudzpah to pull off. Certainly there are bad tricks, and poorly made gimmicks that regularly come out. This is not a bad trick. Or a bad method. Do what Malini did. Practice palming cards in public. You can easily call someone forward, shake their hand while holding a palmed, signed card, and then load it in their pocket. And my hand is smaller than poker cards. Use deep gambler's cop. This effect is not entirely new. Nothing in magic ever really is. About 20 years ago this more or less same trick was sold as a coin through glass table effect. I have a version from the 1940's that used the same method for a one by one coins through table effect. All have limitations, and all fry people if done with confidence in your performing skill, and people management/likeability. You sincerely seem like a decent person, but it is not cool to show people what you get, and how tricks work as soon as they come out. It is entirely possible to film both positive and negative reviews of new effects without blatantly revealing methods. In fact, that is how most reviewers have done it for decades. Ethics are most important here. Whether you know it or not, you are deeply crossing into unethical exposures in your reviews. Especially when they are brand new effects. (Put plainly: the magic selling industry is about selling secrets. Sure there are some clunker tricks out there, but what some like, others don't. If people stood outside movie theaters and told everyone going in the storylines and plots of the movies, and how they end, how many people going in will still pay good money to see the movies, they now know everything about?)
