We all LOVE the type of magic tricks where the hardest thing about performing them is keeping that SMUG look off our faces. In other words, the exact OPPOSITE of nervousness ;)

Colossal Blizzard is the reason I've been feeling smug lately. The setup is done before my spectators even realize a trick has started, then the rest of the performance feels like a 100mph sled-ride down Mount Everest.

Created by professional card magician Anthony Miller, Colossal Blizzard combines two of the most devious principals in magic to produce a walk-around masterpiece. Instant reset and NO need for tables means you can DEPEND on Colossal Blizzard for your paid gigs.

One card is NAMED, removed from the pack and given to your spectator. Seems pretty mundane so far, until you dump about 51 TON AVALANCHE on their brain by showing the entire deck is BLANK. The best part? There are no deck switches, and only 52 cards are ever used. Didn't I remind you to keep that smug look off your face??

We're proud to offer you professional caliber, PRACTICAL magic tricks like Colossal Blizzard but we also know it's not perfect for everyone. If you have any questions about whether CB is right for your next show or gig, email magician@penguinmagic.com and you'll get a fast reply from a professional magician on our team.

And seriously - while you're waiting for your package to arrive, work on keeping a straight face!

From the brilliant CREATOR of Hip Pocket Mullica comes an effect you're gonna love...

A spectator selects a color, a suit, and a number... The selected card is the only card with a FACE in a blank-faced deck of cards!

Self-contained. Only 52 cards are used.
  • No deck switches!
  • No gimmicked cards!
  • No difficult sleights!
  • Just great magic!

Manufacturer Says

There is just no explanation for spectators Report this review
Anonymous from Sf on May 11th, 2010
This is a really strong trick. Its not so good walk around but if you are doing a show it really hits them between the eyes. A tip is to do a trick with a normal pack of cards first. Have the cards be shuffled by the spectator. Then do something else like spongeballs. Come out with this trick and nail em. Its really easy to learn and theres not that much practice. I got this as a bonus from penguin and was really surprised about how amazing it is. I would definitely buy this.

Decent. Report this review
Magic Rich from London, UK on April 4th, 2010
This is pretty amazing, and from a spectator's point of view it's mindboggling. So long as you don't mind carrying around a gimmicked deck in your pocket then there's no reason you shouldn't go for this!

The tuition is clear and very detailed, although ultimately the effect is pretty easy to do which is great because it lets you focus on performance!

Another amazing one from Oz Report this review
Akela from PA USA on April 6th, 2010
Oz does a great job teaching the method and performance. Most of Oz's performances hit very hard. It takes a great deal of practice to do this right.

This is a version of Dean Dill's Blizzard on Steroids. This effect leaves you in the cleanest final position ever. The audience can clearly see that there is only ONE CARD PRINTED in the deck and it IS THE ONE THEY ONLY THOUGHT OF. no forces or equivocates and will always work! Pure Magic Gold!

Raymond Zhang from New York on April 2nd, 2010
Effect- A card is selected through a process and taken out of the deck. All of the other cards are shown to be blank except for their thought of card.
I will have to admit that I was a slight bit disappointed with the method. With that said, it still fooled me. This uses a very old principle that you already know (some may be scared to use it), but applied and dressed up in a way that not many people would pick up on, even a few magicians. It isn't as clean as the ad makes it sound, but it still appears super fair to the spectator and looks legit to them. It's extremely easy to perform, but you can't have anyone behind you which may be a problem in some cases, but easily managed.
The DVD is very well produced and attractive. No complaints. Oz Pearlman is a great teacher and lets you in on the subtleties that make this more convincing to the spectators. There are 2 variations taught which are the basic handling and the advanced handling by Luke Jermay. I saw flaws in both so I combined them both so that they made more sense (you had to remove cards which was a drag) and eliminated a lot of procedure. There are also a ton of performances throughout the DVD and while I applaud the effort, Oz is a very bad performer. A problem with DVDs and younger magicians is that they'll copy the performers directly. Oz is very technically skilled, but his acting and presentation is weak in my opinion.
Overall, this is a solid product and I recommend it.

nice Report this review

this is a final effect for me, you can play with a regular deck, make some other effect and switch the deck for this one and you get an amazing miracle. This deck (or principle) use "gimmick card", you can't give the deck to examination, but who cares when the eyes is on the only card printed.

Anonymous from Washington DC on January 24th, 2010
I can see what Oz Pearlman was going for but he ruined the effect itself. There is a small force used (which puts it one step behind the original) and the card may be freely chosen within the parameters of the force, but the fact that the card isn't completely chosen is a major upset. It also uses a move I don't particularly like. I was majorly disappointed by this trick. Just buy the original. It's easier and hits a heck of a harder.
