If I had reviewed this trick when it first came out like I should have...
It would have done very poorly, I don't think I would have given it more than a 1 star review.
It felt more like a cash grab on the infamous rising card trick than anything.
To be honest I was a little let down by Theory11, until now I was always impressed with the caliber of their products.
The springboard interface used for the app although clever (later copied by Ellusionist) was all but impossible to make it look right, and the trick nowhere near as amazing as I thought it should be.
However, they released an update and fixed the issues I had with this trick.
Despite this it still is not a miraculous trick in my mind, but it can be pretty shocking if performed the right way to the right audience. That said I still don't find myself compelled to perform this trick. It more or less just sits on my phone taking up memory space.
As I said I feel it is more of a novel or cool effect than an amazing unexplicable feat of magic.
Not really sure it is worth the $2.99 they are selling it for on the app store.
That said here is a stellar perfomance of this trick by Eric Leclerc. Check it out
As for the stars...I'm only going to give this trick 3
