This is a great effect, but make sure you choose your audience wisely, i tried it on two persons today and they wanted to take the deck and go thru it themselves, not good..
technique is good and it plays big, im not sure if ill add it to my act simply because i dont see it being a good opener, and you can only do that one trick with the deck.
other than that i think ill keep trying it on ramdom people and see how it goes..
overall i cant complain, Oz is a great teacher and it wasnt expensive..

I just bought the download 15mins ago,and now i can already do it like a pro.

its so easy to master,doesnt required deck switch(which is the important part).

doesnt even look like a force,and the blank display is super cool!!

ADD TO CART

This is a great effect! Your audience will never suspect a thing, and the ending is just ludicrous! Add To Cart NOW! You will NOT regret having such a powerful trick in your line-up.

This a 20 dollar trick. If you have 20 dollars, and are looking for an effect like this than you should definitely get it.

PROS
-great effect
-great teaching
-easy to do
-deck can be shuffled (YES, I always do tricks with normal cards, take out my sponges, then come out with my blizzard deck, shuffle it, and then start).
- Advanced handling thats not that advanced, just a bit different

Cons
-Although the cards are real they cannot be examined (most can, but you cant hand the deck out)
-Have to carry it around only for one trick

GET IT IF YOU HAVE MONEY ITS GREAT

Its a great concept, one of the greatest concepts in card magic - a spectator names a card and it is the only card in the deck that appears different from all the others.

Sound familiar?

If you want the most direct, hard hitting version of this concept just stick with the invisible deck.

This is a great trick, but I would never use this AND the invisible deck in the same routine. And I would never replace this trick with the invisible deck because this effect isn't near as direct and straight forward as the invisible deck.

It's not that this is a bad effect, its just that there is another effect out there that uses the same concept, but plays much stronger.

Very nice idea but I loved the original blizzard more. You can`t pass out for examination.
I don't love the handling.

this is a great impovement of the orginal blizzard. it's very practical and i love it! you will love it too! buy, great investment.

I liked the trick, I was particularly looking at psychological tricks to force cards. It's not exactly its but a crossbreed of classic tricks with them.

It's not sleight of hand intensive but needs a good presentation and audience management (like all good tricks).

4 stars bec its very much dependent on performer level although you dont need sleights. It maybe good for starters too bec. it can introduce them into a higher lvl of perception as a performer.

Out of all the instant downloads I've bought from Penguin, this has to be the hardest hitting effect by far! It's not a disappointment. The concept is GENIUS and the presentation is DEVASTATING.
I immediately added this trick into my regular routine, and it has become my closer for walkaround. If you're into card magic, BUY THIS... IT'S WELL WORTH IT!

As always Oz is a great teacher, and the performance of the effect is extremely well done. After seeing the full performance with Oz's handling I was impressed with this effect. It was nicely executed and in the spectators mind I could see how they would be completely fooled.

The handling is very easy and very simple. Obviously you cannot do this with a borrowed deck, and a small amount of setup is required. But even for walk around, keeping a spare deck for this effect in your pocket and giving it a hearty shuffle whilst introducing the effect is enough to make the setup unnoticable.

I should also note that personally, I would not perform this completely surrounded. You have to be really careful of angles, but I expected as much.

All in all not a bad effect with only a few minor limitations. I won't use it often, and won't add it into my immediate repertoire but I will use and have a lot of fun with it. Definitely worth the purchase for a look!
