This is impromptu magic at its best! Definitely worth the money  http://www.theory11.com/tricks/record-by-rick-lax
Just wanted to let you guys know.

I was planning on picking this up, but what stops me from picking up this trick or any other trick are the little tid bit of details that wasn't accounted for. Either the routine is too complex, too knacky, or impractical. As you've bought the trick, what's your review on the trick? How difficult is it? Thanks.

The video looks pretty impressive, but the page for buying it indicates you need to control viewing angles.  It's true of a lot of tricks, really, but that's the beauty of close-up/street magic - you're usually performing in an intimate setting, just you and a small number of people or even just a single person.

I believe I know how to do this based on what I've seen and based on being told it is very angle sensitive. Will fiddle around with my headphones and the mirror and see what I can produce

No details were left out in the performance/promo video. The method for this trick is surprisingly really simple. . All you have to do is practice in front of a mirror I would say a beginner magician could do it.

Some of the most impressive magic ever performed is beginner-level simple.  The Invisible Deck trick is arguably one of the best tricks in all of card magic and a newbie can do it with just a little practice and zero sleight of hand.  Biggest thing he or she would need to worry about is not dropping the deck!  As simple and corny as we may think it is, one of the most requested tricks in card magic is the Rising Card trick - again, totally bush-league stuff, but audiences eat it up and ask for seconds.  It's one of the reasons why I never worried about performing tricks that could fool magicians and spent more time working on tricks that can fool just about anyone else...especially when you remember magicians are barely a fraction of a percent of the general population, making the "anyone else" group insanely large...
