Unfortunately there really isnt a way around that. The lower the light the higher your iso needs to be which in turn brings a lot of noise to your image. If you are recording you can use plugins such as neatvideo. Other than that the best way around it would be to have a good amount of light and add a ND filter to your camera. Although this would require a lot of light to make it work well.
The performance video was done by Sansminds so sadly I do not know which camera they used. Although sony cameras would be great for this because of the low light capabilities.
Wow... I love the fact that you are really honest... I must be one of penguins top customers... Reading reviews on their sight is so hit or miss... I will be looking to you for reviews... Expect a new customer
Thank you so much for watching, I started the magic company with one purpose in mind and that was being honest. I would rather loose sales and be honest than have people not trust us. Thank again :)
James Thank you for your honest review. My impression of you guys jumped up a notch. Wanted to buy it thinking it would be good for close up..lol....riiight....
This is a savage review for this effect. Listen, this product is for professionals only. This is not easy. It’s very conditional. But when controlled, is a reputation maker. Great for online shows.
I shared the unit I received with Michael O Brien and although his review is a good review he agreed that mine looked terrible. After what I received and opened my review is justified. I wish I could show photos of what we got, but it was impossible to perform this effect with what I got. And most of the negative was how they sold this. We have made mistakes in ad copies by not clearly stating something, but we admit our mistakes (even though ours was not intentional) when we were confronted vs holding our ground and acting like we weren’t deceiving people. That is the main issue I have with this.
Yeah, you got a bad one. Mine didn't have any of those problems that you mentioned, thankfully. I was not aware of all the "issues" with Sans Minds before making this purchase. I just got an e-mail from vanishingmagicinc saying that this thing was gonna be available. I was so excited (and had a good chunk of change sitting around) that I just clicked "add to cart" without giving it much thought. I knew what area of magic it fell into, so I was expecting that I would have a lot of work to do in order to be able to perform this piece and I was right. A small note: I ordered the silver frame but received the gold frame even though the box's logo showed that it should have been a silver frame. Not a huge deal for me though. This effect is definitely not for the faint of heart, but it looks absolutely amazing when you get it working. I almost amaze myself, it looks so good (particularly the "snap" return). That being said, no, it is not the same thing that Will did on AGT although it's similar enough that anyone who has seen the AGT video won't notice the difference unless they watched it immediately before you perform this. My biggest problem with this effect was the final transformation and making that look smooth. The first option they give you doesn't look anything like what Will did on AGT and the second option they give you requires an additional $50.00 purchase and is very unreliable unless you modify your product as I did. After all is said and done, I cannot recommend this product mostly due to all the performing requirements. I'll be honest though. I'm kind of glad that this turned out this way because I know there will be a lot fewer magicians doing this effect (this effect specifically, not a matrix routine). Good luck to those others who purchased it. I hope you get everything worked out. One last thing: It angers me to see certain magicians out there who insinuate (or just out-right state) that anyone who buys this is stupid or somehow lacking sense. Very arrogant and unappealing behavior, and the art of magic deserves better.
Well said Jeff, thank you for taking the time to write everything you experienced. Definitely helps other people decide whether or not this is good for them. 😊
You had to have gotten a crap table :/ mine came in and is in pristine condition. You are welcome to watch my review of it if you are interested in a second opinion. I rated it 4.5 out of 5. And the reason I docked it was the same you mention here. The ad is a bit misleading as it isn’t performed the same on AGT unless you make modifications to the table. Good news is they at least teach you how to do that so that’s nice. Haha great review friend. Very honest of you!
Great review man! Yea thats why I mentioned how I wasn’t sure if mine was a bad one or not. But even at the end of it still isn’t possible to do it the same without, maybe a little exaggerated, 6ft table that has a table covering that goes all the way to the floor to hide how many modifications you would need to do make it look identical to his. Just such a bummer that they feel they needed to mislead people to sell more. They could have been honest with the ad and probably would have sold just as many and people wouldn’t be disappointed.
Great question! You accomplish pretty much the same routine, but what I am referring to is the method to accomplishing the way Will Tsai did his version of this. He is extremely hands off with a table that has no coverings at the floor. You cannot do that with the method you will receive in the mail. You can get extremely close though.
Magic Shop San Diego Hello there ☺️ Thank you so much for the kind, detailed answer, and for your time sir! Makes great sense to me. I see the effect is still available on some websites but something tells me I should go at it myself as a try thats all lol.
I appreciate the time and effort you put into the review. It's somewhat ironic (and sad) that magicians allow themselves to keep getting fooled by SansMinds and Will instead of just ignoring them.
No problem thank you for watching! There are some good SansMinds effects, some of my favorite effects are from SansMinds, unfortunately it can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack though. :(
Very happy I found you and your channel. You go to great lengths to give a very honest and open review without giving away the "miracle". No annoying background music and a pleasant background setting. I will NOT be purchasing Visual Matrix - just not for me. I have subscribed and will be looking at your store too. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words. Haven’t been able to do reviews in quite some time, but we will definitely be doing them again very soon. Thank you so much for subscribing!
Kudos. An honest review and definitely the same opinion with mine. Don't expect you'll get the same as Will Tsai's. Sad thing is, they claim that it's a million dollar act of Will. Then ahh
@@MagicShopSanDiego But you were saying that "if the lighting is done right, the effect can look as good as it does in the [instructional] video". Is that statement still true? Is it possible that JUST with the right angle and lightings the effect as seen in the instructional video can be reproduced? Or must it also involve video editing skills like in the instructional video? By the way, great review and thanks for being honest about things you sell.
@@SupremeSkeptic Thanks for the compliment on the review! If the lighting is right then performing this will be fine, no editing skills needed to make the effect look good. Just a controlled environment.
Great review! I'm sure we'll see most of these up for resale from those who were tripping over themselves to pre-order and pay for this "pie in the sky" piece of crap.
Thank you! I wouldn’t not trust vanishing inc/Joshua Jay because of this review. I know where Josh performs and like I said in a different comment this might be great for him. Not exactly sure why his thoughts are the way they are, but I just can’t see them lying like that. Great thing about reviews is we are all aloud to have different thoughts on it as long as we all have reasons to back up our opinions :)
Once I'm performing under low lighting the video quality drops and there's alotttt of noise in the picture quality how to get around that?
Unfortunately there really isnt a way around that. The lower the light the higher your iso needs to be which in turn brings a lot of noise to your image. If you are recording you can use plugins such as neatvideo. Other than that the best way around it would be to have a good amount of light and add a ND filter to your camera. Although this would require a lot of light to make it work well.
@@MagicShopSanDiego what camera did you use for the Performance in this video ?
The performance video was done by Sansminds so sadly I do not know which camera they used. Although sony cameras would be great for this because of the low light capabilities.
@@MagicShopSanDiego so we can not perform like will tsai did in AGT?
Not with this gimmick they are selling.

i love this review. million thanks to you :-)
No problem thank you! 😊
How refreshing to see a truly honest review. Will certainly be following this channel and buying from your store in the future. Thanks.
It was in my cart ready to buy, then I watched this first.

No problem bud, thank you for the kind words! We appreciate you!!! 🙏
Thank you for your honest reviews!
Very nice review, thanks. Well done
Thanks Jose! Appreciate the kind words 😊
Again, man such a great job. The industry needed someone like you. Too many promises and nothing delivered. You call them out! Great job!
Thank you for the kind words we are going to start having more reviews very soon!

I don’t get it what do you mean you cant accomplish on AGT ? You just did at the beginning of the video ....
Great question! You accomplish pretty much the same routine, but what I am referring to is the method to accomplishing the way Will Tsai did his version of this. He is extremely hands off with a table that has no coverings at the floor. You cannot do that with the method you will receive in the mail. You can get extremely close though.

@@JKRowl No problem glad we could help :)
Hlo bro which color is best elegant gold or valorous silver
Once paid, is there anyway i can get my money back and send the product back new without touching it? I dont want it anymore
Hey Andrew if purchased from us, yes we accept returns within 30 days. Not sure about other retailers, but we stand behind that policy.
nice lighting and set up!
I appreciate the time and effort you put into the review. It's somewhat ironic (and sad) that magicians allow themselves to keep getting fooled by SansMinds and Will instead of just ignoring them.

I have yet to find an overall positive review of sansminds products
How ca I buy it? It is no longer available on the link
Is it strings
Some of it yes.
Great review! Thanks!!

Sans Mind. That’s all you have to say.
We're gonna ignore that flash?
That was a performance from the Sansmind instructional video. I was not able to perform this with the gimmick I received.

Nice table
Thank you for saving me $300.
Save for me too :)))
We both know neither of you just have $300 sitting around.
Thank you for truth!
No problem, thanks for watching!
Please tell me bro
Very, very good review! So fake, even the studio performance was edited on multiple frames...
great review, now I do not trust vanishing inc / joshua jay or sans mind SORRY

$500 =C. Not 300 😂
They raised the price, seems about right 😶
Good review, but you should try scripting a bit more, there was a lot of repetition here.
Thank you! Definitely working on it 😉
