This is a great Colour Changing Knives Routine. The theme is not only original but very interesting. So interesting, in fact, that it would entertain the most difficult of all magic audiences, adolescents. It is made all the more entertaining due to the topical humour and the well thought out sequence of effects. If all of this wasn't reason enough to buy this routine then we are also given two new Colour Changing Knife moves. These moves alone are worth the price of admission. So if you have any interest in the Colour Changing Knives buying this should be a no brainer!

I love Bunco effects and I am familiar with many different ones but I had never come across this effect. Like three card monte and shells and pea you have to find one of three objects and it is never where you think it is. Brick explains the moves well and the accompanying videos clearly explain how to do all the moves. Also because this effect has, inexplicably, received so little attention from magicians I believe it has a lot of potential for further development. If you are into Bunco effects you should absolutely get this.

This is such a good trick. It's almost totally hands off, with a huge level of audience participation possible. While I have enjoyed performing it for a single spectator and received great reactions this is even better when you have three or more spectators assisting. The way it is described it requires quite a bit of table surface but I have drawn the race course on a page of a notebook for close-up performances and you could use material and velcro and perform it on stage. This could also fit in very nicely in a bunco routine or any gambling routine. I don't normally write reviews but I felt I had to review this versatile gem of a trick. I am not familiar with Toni Koynini or whether they have produced any other ticks but I can't wait to see what else they can come up with!
