Astrobolism
A very cool, short, and easy parser game which uses a number of fun tricks to manipulate the mood, pacing, and story.

Christopher Huang
Rich, flavourful, with a lot of character, and it goes down smooth as oil. Like a glass of rich Madeira... or possibly Amontillado. For the love of God, Montresor!

Emily Short's Interactive Storytelling
It’s a compact and effective horror story. The player’s actions are highly directed at every point, but there are stakes enough, and a sufficient illusion of freedom, to make it really satisfying.

Narrativium
Cool gimmicks abound in Three-Card Trick: directional commands are played with, there are misdirections to make Derren Brown proud, and there is one hell of a surprise later on. Actually, make that two.

Old Games Italia
Il titolo è autenticamente capace di tenere sulle spine il giocatore, riuscendo a stupirlo con alcuni veri colpi di scena, ma -soprattutto- tratteggiando in modo magistrale un mondo di gioco affascinante e misterioso, di cui però ci viene volutamente rivelato solo una parte piccolissima. Esempio perfetto di un autore che sa dire molto con poco.

I love this. Three-Card Trick is a devious piece of interactive fiction... Dark, inventive, and wonderfully written.

Wade's Important Astrolab
Three-Card Trick manages to develop multiple dimensions of surprise and suspense over its duration, and thus, like a good magic trick, is itself surprising in a delighting way.
