I am just wondering for this trick. Is it smooth to perform as i've seen from this link?

I've been planning to post a few new topics in this section guys, but as most of you know I am currently working in the house we bought so apart from a few minutes in the morning I don't have the time. It will get better in january/february.

Anyway, I'm surprised Koornwinder Car gets such low rates! It is such a cute and great trick. Tenyo's version looks less suspicious as the wooden version in my opinion.
Whenever people mention Tenyo being plastic 'toys' I give the example of Tenyo's Koornwinder Car - this trick is so strong because it LOOKS like a normal, childish toy!

Jamie, yes it is smooth to perform and not difficult at all. I must admit in the video the performer does an excellent job, you don't see 'the move' at all

The routine in the video is my personal favourite but I tend to use a marked 'normal' deck of cards - looks less suspicious and gets great reactions. You can use the marked deck for another routine afterwards - like I do with the 'Do-As-I-Do' trick with a marked deck as described in one of Marvin's Magic sets - it is STRONG. It is also explained in Boris Wild's Marked deck bouklet. I use Boris Wild's marked deck because I can also use it previous to Koornwinder Car to do an Out Of This World routine (one of the best self working card tricks ever in my opinion) - it is pretty easy to locate the black and red cards.

Another suggestion I can make is perhaps use it in combination with Ghost Lamp. The gimmick of Ghost Lamp is pretty thick but I think it is possible to make it a lot thinner with today's flat neodium magnets - and you can make it with bicycle decks. But that's perhaps something for another thread

Jamie, buy the trick, seriously, you won't regret it. It suits your performance style in your restaurant It is still in production if I'm right but will become one of the seriously sought after tricks once it gets discontinued. I have my performance version and also one back up, but I think I'll buy one more once it gets discontinued.

Thanks David. I don't want to regret later so i'll get this while it is available and affordable.

Just noticed the cool license plate on the Tenyo version of the car.

"I like big butts and I cannot lie..."
Still no clue how this little fellow works. That number plate is really cool tho. I wonder if they'll change the logo again any time soon?
