This is a very good intermediate level effect. Basically, the spectator chooses a card, you attempt to find it... you choose the wrong card, but then it changes to the selected card... and then you reveal that their selection was the only odd-backed card in the entire deck, even though they've (apparently) been seeing the backs of the full deck during the entire routine.

During the course of the explanation, you'll have quite a few sleights explained in adequate detail... riffle force, slip cuts, acquiring breaks, the shake change, classic pass... there's an impressive amount of material packed into a short amount of time.

If you're already handy with a deck of cards, this is a really nice routine to play around with. If you're a beginner, this is a good introduction to more advanced handlings, since you'll end up with good instruction on a solid bunch of useful moves.

Oz delivers once again like he always does, an awesome effect! It will take some work to get the handling down, but that is just like any other effect you will learn. If you have just an elementary knowledge of card effects this is not a problem. Oz goes in depth on certain moves required for this effect (I already knew them, but they helped me grasp the concepts better and I would have paid the price for just the handling explanations) This will blow peoples minds but like any effect make sure you put the time in to make it a killer!

Colour changing deck routines are really good. The downside to them is that some of them are a bit tricky to perform. This version isn't completely brand new but Oz has added some nice elements to it. The handling of this particular version is actually really easy. Another great thing about this trick is that it instantly resets so you are able to do it again for a new crowd without having to set it up again. My only suggestion for when you perform this is to avoid really trying to sell the colour of the deck because you don't want to give away the finally.

Hi! This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.

Now this is what I'm looking for when it comes to digital downloads! For the most part, a lot of the digital downloads I've gotten have been somewhat disappointing for me. A lot of that has to do with the fact that a lot of the downloads, at one point, were geared more toward a beginner. With Blindsided, that is not the case. This effect is awesome!

Be prepared, like most good magic this effect will take some work and practice, but the trick is well worth it. Highly visual, beautiful, and is guaranteed to get a killer response. This one is a must-buy in my opinion. Add to cart now!

I've been performing for over 40 years and there is nothing better than a closeup illusion that has audience participation, a kicker ending, and automatically resets. Oz has accomplished all three in this one effect and his teaching style assures that you can do it too. This makes for a very nice opening effect.

I found this trick to be too difficult, and impractical. If I had know it was just going to be a video I wouldn't have bought it in the first place.

i love any of oz's tricks< he blows my mind in wat he has accomplished, get this trick i have hade people run out of the room because they were scared that i was that good

I bought this effect before I was really ready to perform it. I am relatively new to magic, and this was one of the first card effects I ever purchased. I wasn't really happy with it right off the bat, because even though it seemed to be a very easy effect to perform, I was still somehow not able to do it in front of a mirror without revealing the secret. I knew the moves, but hadn't practiced them altogether enough. After a few months of performing other effects, practicing more difficult moves, and improving overall, I've gone back to this effect, and it's now a "lights out" effect for me.

Oz Pearlman can be a bit intense, but he's certainly a worker, and knows what works for spectators. This is an excellent effect I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to be able to perform a "gimmick level" effect without a gimmick. It's very simple, very direct, and very powerful. I believe the lag towards the end of the effect (during the "move") provides the perfect psychological 1-2 punch to make this a lasting effect in anyone's repertoire.

I love this trick. It is GOOD and fools the spectator every step of the way. The best part is the multiple reveal at the end of the trick

I haven't done this one in public yet, but my test spectators (AKA immediate family) have been convinced that I perform REAL magic, not card manipulation
