MY COMMENTS:
This has amazing possibilities and does what it promises,
but I wish the blurb was not a bit misleading. First off,
the first statement that "you can predict a scratch and win
ticket held in a spectator's hand from across a room" could
imply that you've never touched the lotto ticket and that it
could be borrowed. This is not so. The lotto ticket is one
that the performer supplies. The right kind of lotto ticket
does have to be used, but those kinds of tickets are quite
easy to find at the corner store. Also, the lotto ticket
must be prepared. It's a very simple preparation and takes
minutes to do, although it cannot be done in front of the
participants.

All these notes do not change the fact that this is indeed
100% sure fire, it will enable you to predict a scratch and
win ticket, and the ticket can be held across the room or
even mailed. The package includes four pages of 8.5" x 11"
instructions. Four pages is all it takes to explain this
simple method. I'll also note that there are many more
creative possibilities for its use by the working performer.
The only other note I will point out is that the materials
in the package are consumable. If this effect is one you
will use, you will have to purchase more of the gimmicks and
the refill pack is available. This is definitely a lot of
fun. Recommended.
