ShinSplint 2.0

I was looking for a visual, table-free trick that plays big, and this delivers. It's done at the finger tips and feels very "hands-off" in that sense. However, I was very disappointed by the quality of the video explanation, especially compared to other Vanishing Inc. products. The download is 15 minutes long, but does not feature a single spoken explanation. Instead, the explanation is delivered by text appearing on the top of the screen, and the silence is filled with obnoxious music. In a few shots, Shin appears to be wearing headphones, which, combined with the fact he does not address the viewer, makes for a very impersonal explanation. It feels like it is only about a product being sold, rather than Shin wanting to connect with those who purchase and want to learn the trick. Though the explanation is thorough, it is by far not the most appealing.

Trick: 7/10
Video: 3/10

It is very hard to perform, and the video is very hard to follow. There is distracting music and no speech, only subtitles. You have to go back a lot to understand what’s happening with the cards, And some bits are repeated, making it even more confusing. A better video would be muchly appreciated for 1 trick I payed £7.50 for.

This is a really nice little visual impromptu packet trick. The only complaints I have for this is how poorly the video quality is. Apart from the weird distracting music I don't recall him addressing the audience even once, which makes for a real lousy video. But Apart form the negatives it is 15-minute very thorough explanation depending on which way you look at it and overall isn’t as bad as other people are making it seem. This is definitely worth it for only 7 dollars if you’re looking for something impromptu and visual and gets a 7/10 for me.
