Gazzo's Tossed Out Deck BLUE (DVD + Deck) One of the greatest card tricks in the history of magic. Road tested, refined and CROWD ready. Most highly recommended!
In stock: usually ships within 24 hours!
You wrap the deck in rubber bands and throw it out to a punter in the audience.
Manufacturer SaysGazzo's Tossed Out Deck is the product of years of performance in city centers and busy streets around the world. What separates this deck from the others is its versatility (it can be performed for a small to HUGE crowd, anywhere from the street corner to an evening theatre show) and its powerful knock-out finish (It convinces the audience beyond a shadow of a doubt that you knew *exactly* which card everyone merely *thought* of). Less experienced magicians may see them as insignificant, but the subtleties that Gazzo has put into the Tossed Out Deck takes it from a neat mentalism piece to a working professional's reputation maker.

Good trick, unfortunate DVD

Where to begin?
I'll be 100% honest. This trick has left me with a slightly split personality. If you work larger crowds of disconnected people (i.e. less family groups and more "strangers") this is a wonderful trick for your arsenal. It's not going to work if people talk to each other afterwards. If they do, they will discover the secret by process of elimination. Now to the painful separation of my personalities - The presentation by Gazzo on this DVD is dreadful. Gazzo is a great street performer and I love all his routines. His material is often a bit on the blue side for me personally but each to their own. If I could sum up my experience of this DVD? Like pulling teeth. Gazzo, I've bought your DVD and I want to learn your trick - stop performing and start teaching. He rambles and goes off on unfunny tangents. At times I found myself rewinding or restarting segments because I honestly had forgotten what I was doing. Gazzo is a great performer but his teaching, on this DVD anyway, lacks a bit of professionalism. What I really wanted was "this is how you do the trick, a, b, c, and now here are some performance tips and patter". What I got was a jumbled mess. As I said - Good trick, unfortunate DVD..

[This review refers to the stand-alone trick]
I have to admit, I had not idea how this worked before I bought it. I was a little disappointed when I read the explanation. This would require rather large audience, and doesn't really fit into my routines. I bought this a while ago, before it came with a DVD, and I'm kind of curious what's on the DVD. Even though I've had this for years, I have never used it, and probably never well. Just one of many tricks I've bought only to collect dust in the closet. If you're more of a close-up magician, then do not get this. Did this review help you?
I'll concede this is a good effect for some people, but it's not for me. It's been noted this
effect requires "strong audience management", but once you toss a deck to someone who's 50 feet away
from you, there's not a whole lot you can do if they decide to be a trouble-maker. I'm not
interested in exposing myself to that kind of risk.
I also think the description is a bit misleading, where it says, "You name each person's card"... well, sort of. You can NOT say, "Joe, you peeked at the 6 of clubs, Mary, you peeked at the 9 of diamonds", etc. That's not how the trick works, but this description might lead you to believe it does. I can understand someone being disappointed if that was their expectation. Bottom line, this effect is similar enough to a Radar Deck, except with that effect, you're far more in control. No need to worry about troublemakers. Since there are better alternatives to accomplish a similar effect, I can't recommend this. Did this review help you?
Nice addition to TOD

Most TODs that I have seen work on the same principle.
The addition where you name the last spectator's card makes this more convincing. Also this needs to be done for a big group of people. [edited for exposure] The deck can be used for a couple of other tricks as well. The DVD and the deck is good value here. Did this review help you?
Admittedly to anyone around magic for any period of time the tossed out deck is simple and you don't
need a dvd to tell you how to do it, but Gazzo's take, his proceedures and insight is worth three
times the price. He added some nuances that I've never thought about (I've used it from stage for
years in my mental magic speach). I'm incorporating some of it immediately. Thanks Gazzo & Penguin

I was a bit nervous buying this product as some of the reviews were bad. They could not have been
more wrong. In fact I have never written a review for a product but I love this one sooooo much I
am. I absolutely love his new edition to the trick! Many people have said that the preview is
mis-leading. The thing is that to us magicians it might but to laymen It looks better than the video
shows it. I have been working on this trick every day to make it as close to perfect as I can and
I have to say Gazzo did a great Job!

If you already know the method behind the classic Tossed out Deck effect, you're not getting much
value in this DVD. The video was a little misleading, in giving the impression that the last
spectator -- the one whose card you didn't initially name -- was also part of the "tossed out deck"
phase of the plot. In fact, he's not. His card is selected in a different manner than the
others.
I've been doing amateur magic for 20 some odd years now, and I know that promotors of magic products tend of over-sell the effect a little. I guess I was just a sucker for thinking this trick was something that it's not. On the other hand, if you don't know the original tossed out deck method, then this is as good as any other place to learn it, I guess. As others have noted, the DVD is actually a little painful to watch. Gazzo repeats himself far too often and his disclosure is rambling and unfocused. It's a little surprising, because he doesn't come across that way in performance. Ah, one of life's many mysteries. Did this review help you?
easy and amazing!

I wasn't too sure whether i would like this when i bought it, but boy was i wrong! this was worth
the money, plus more. The only problem is, the only way you can truly practice this, is infront of
an audience. But, that being said, the first time i performed this, the results were HUGE! i suggest
this to nyone and everyone.

This is a great effect since it involves so many different people in the audience. Any effect that
includes multiple members in the audience will get huge reactions. Gazzo gives up some wonderful
presentation ideas.

This is a sure fire crowd pleaser. The effect is simple and yet so much fun to do. I performed this
soon after recieving it with little to no practice. ADD TO CART!
