When I first saw the demo for this trick I went mentally insane and I was like, "how on earth was
that possible?".
Yesterday I performed it for the first time for a couple of friends, and they
also went "mentally insane". Well not really. ;) but it got huge reactions!
When I first
recieved the package I knew I had to be careful, based on other reviews on different websites/forums
etc. I watched the 15 minute long DVD that it came with and I got it all perfectly clear on how it
works and so on.
The bad stuff about this trick is that you don't end perfectly clean, and
the trick itself is not very clean, but I find doing the change with a silk works the best.
It might be a little bit noisy, and you can't do this on any window. Only on windows with
1-layer of glass, maybe two, but to be on the safe side I go with one-layered glasses.
It's a
great thing to have in your car on the window, unfortunately I don't own a car.
Another
negative thing about this is that it's not very "convenient", for example if you're doing it on the
street, then you have to find a good window, then run inside and stick the card behind the window,
run back out to your friends etc. and then proceed with the effect.
Phone booths work absolutely
perfect with this.
Also included is two gimmicks, one small and one big, the small one
broke immediately, but I don't feel like I need it anyway. Doubt it would work.
So, is it
worth 60$?
Hard to say. It's a good trick, if you want to be able to perform an absoultely
outstanding card through window-effect, then of course!
Imagine it, being able to change a card
behind a window!

This is the BE ALL END ALL of card tricks. It's so easy, and people just go insane. I don't want to
sound like a broken record, but I just do this stuff for fun behind the bar. Im a bartender. I got
this one today, took about 10 minutes to learn it. Debuted it (yes, regulars look forward to my card
tricks) it made one guy scream at me " YOU HAVE A DEAL WITH SATAN!" and he ran out, and another guy
vomited. It wasnt cause of alchy, this was 3pm. All of my regulars were speechless for about 3
minutes. Literally... ADD THIS TO YOUR CART THIS INSTANT, and hope you are lucky enough to receive
the next shipment.

This was an odd effect when I first heard about it; a double change that happened THROUGH a Window?
NO way. Not without some sort of stooge, or complicated gimmick. Plus, that could NEVER be
practical.
Well, I was wrong. Enter David Stone's Window.
I first received this
and opened the package revealing to me the DVD and gimmick; even after watching the demo video about
14 times, I still didn't know how to use the gimmick. Just a testament to HOW well constructed this
routine really is.
Then after watching, you find many more routines. This is a REALLY well
thought out gimmick and some GREAT routines with it. VERY practical.
Highly recommended.

I received Window two days after I ordered it, free shipping. I have worked on it three days and
just showed it to a friend who usually can figure some way for the magic to work. He was amazed and
just said, "I'll have to think about that one." It is very visually effective and with practice
can be performed with confidence. There is no audio explanation on the DVD, only a few English
words appear on screen, but the presentation is clear to follow. I watch the magic happen and am
intrigued each time I see it. Lends itself to numerous approaches, but the clear hand change seems
the most effective. Can't wait to use it in my next public performance. (I have found that masking
tape works great in the hand.)

a blind man can see in the dark night and during a heavy mist, that there is something wrong with
the card behind the glass.
david stone stands for qualitiy and normaly for practical and under
live conditions tested tricks and probs...............
but this one is the lowest level he ever
was - good idea, but the gimmik is horrible!

Very good DVD instructions and definitely has a
"wow" factor to it.
For any trick that
requires double sided tape (this one, but use regular tape for the card to the window)get UGlu
patches. I found them at a CVS drugstore on the "as seen on TV" shelf. You'll be amazed at how
sticky the tiny square is. It's clear, so it would be perfect for "card on ceiling" and for stealing
something from the side of your pants.
