Shin Splint

You know it’ll be a amazing effect if Shin created. His practice tricks are better than most peoples best tricks.

Shin split is incredibly visual and great fun to practise. And even better to perform. When I perform this the reactions are worth more than the price of this trick. Important note this must be practiced a lot to ensure you get the best reactions. With all visual tricks sleights are a little on the difficult side but with time easily achievable.

Another pun on his name like a lot of his effects, this one being a take on the Twisting The Aces trick. The mechanics are a bit challenging but it certainly is visually appealing. It’s $5 - why not buy it? Whether or not you use it, you could quite possibly learn a new mechanic that could inspire your own effects. Worth the purchase I’d say!

I probably won't use it, maybe, but very cool to see the amount of effort and his though process when creating the effect.

Shin Lim has created something so magical that it is indeed a sight to behold. This effect will take lots of practice to nail down flawlessly in my honest opinion but I would say that it is definitely worth its price tag. Thank you Shin and Ellusionist!

Lots of little moves, definitely not for the beginner! This one will take many days or weeks of extensive practice, but the skills you will learn are doable, useful and will serve you well with other tricks and routines. This is a great one to have in your wheelhouse.

This is definitely not a trick for beginners or people used to self-working magic! Shin does a great job of explaining and demonstrating the handling for this effect, and it is one that will take some practicing to master. It is visually stunning, so it is worth the practice that it will take to wow people.

Amazing intuitive tutorial and genius method. When I bought Shin Splint I expected to have to juggle around as much as four extra cards along with the four queens, but this is not the case, making it much easier than some may think. Shin's solution to this trick is definitely a technique all magicians should have under their belt.

GENIOUS method on an awesome plot! I like how this is mostly one handed, which adds to the awe and fits my style!

Awesome. A great trick to get into another level.

Very good but not for beginners

This was good. The sleights are hard to master but if u are a magician u can master it in hours or days.

This trick is hard to perfect but fun to keep trying. Beginners know that you will spend hours getting this right. This is my first real card trick and it has taken some time to perfect it.

This is a fantastic trick and is worth every cent. For those of you who might not buy this trick because it is hard to master, buy it. It is fun t practice and easy to learn but hard to do it well. If you are just starting magic, maybe by this another time. If you are a good magician, get this trick immedietley.

I love the actual effect, however the method is extremely difficult even for a seasoned card magician. It took me about 6 hours all in all before I had it perfectly.

I can't criticize the effect itself, however there should be two changes on the description here. Firstly the difficulty should be set to the highest and also ellusionist should remove "Use a borrowed deck" because in most cases I've found a borrowed deck wont do for the handling to be precise.

Very very difficult to learn, but will make you look like a pro if you can master it. Such a sneaky trick.

Great trick but needs a lot of practice to get the handling down. Be prepared to send a few hours on this one.

WARNING: This is high impact magic. This is a very sneaky and brilliant trick, and Shin Lim does a decent job explaining it. It is a little frustrating at first, but you will gradually get the hang of it. There are some sneaky sleight of hand tricks that can even be used in other tricks, and best of all it really is completely impromptu. If you do not already own this trick, I would highly recommend buying it. It is very cool and clean and can be used to impress virtually anyone. Good job, Shin Lim.

After practicing the moves shown in this video, I've found some difficulty as a newcomer to these moves that somebody who's practiced these moves for a while would obviously overcome. The instructor has overcome these difficulties and in my opinion has neglected to point on these problem areas that new omers to these moves will have.

For instance, the main move, fanning the cards, holding the cards in left hand mechanics and fanning them to the right with the thumb, the bottom left corners always stay together but when starting out its hard to keep those corners together because they want to push off as if your dealing, not fanning. The instructor doesn't explain specifically HOW to grip to allow the fan, he just says do it.

I'm sure with more Practice I'll get it, but it could have been explained better. Overall I love this trick, but for a tutorial, it could have been taught a bit better in a couple of areas.

[Ellusionist's Reply: Dan - absolutely understand what you're saying, however this is an advanced trick. The sleights presented - like the spread fan, is assumed knowledge.]

Basically as has been said, this can look amazing but will take extensive practice to pull off convincingly. Nice effect to put in-between bigger tricks as a lead in/out. Impressive, but probably not for beginners.

Good trick, requires larger hands, but the effect is worth the price, 100%.

A bit tricky at first, then the rest just flows. Spectators love it!

Been practicing the move for several weeks to smooth out the handling and some of the moves, like the very first fanning is extremely difficult maybe due to the size of hand/finger that I have. So far I need to make the faning with the subtle help of the right thumb so that it come out clean. I also got some hand cream to have a better grip on the cards. THis is helping a bit more.
Routine is very good however, Good job to Shin.
I would encourage other Pros' selling their work to actually invest in good video production, using good sound and real cameraman.

This is amazing, it's hard to learn in the start but its worth every penny.
- when it started working out smooth for me, i gabbed over myself, i was astunned of what just happend in my hand.
- Get it right, and you will win more money on bets than you gave for this trick, easy.

it is an awesome and easy trick and with some practice
you wil get it like a pro BUT there's just 1 very difficult move

The trick is awesome and visually appealing, but the instruction is very lacking in detail and finesse

I found the effect seeing the video, it's very good, I recommend

The video quality is very good as well as the teaching. There's a couple of cool shots where there were multiple angles. The trick is beautiful as well.

this effect is simply brilliant. i tried this on my mom and dad and they completely flipped! thanks for such a great trick E!

The moves are incredible but it does take alot of practice. The quality of the tutorial is terrible, you will have to go over the video many times just to get the first part. Otherwise, pretty good.

This trick is pure magic done by pure sleight of hand. And the great thing is, the spectator doesn't see any funny movements. Unlike other "twisting the aces" affects, this doesn't require misdirection, which allows the spectators to burn your hand and still get amazed. This is an amazing addition to the plot which is why I give this 5/5.

This is a great effect and with practice you can get the same clean effect. the teaching at some parts are rushed only because they assume you already know the move(since it''s so basic) and it does state that this effect is INTERMEDIATE.
All in all it's a great effect and will astonish magician and laymen alike.
