This is top notch magic - I mean, you can't get any better than this! If performed well, you'll be fooling everyone. The trailer video speaks for itself! I would highly recommend this to anyone. Please be aware that a miniature deck does NOT come with the DVD, and you'll also be required to ruin several cards and card boxes to effectively use this item. The instructional DVD is also sub-par in my opinion (as far as the instruction goes), but there are several ideas and thoughts that are shared at the end that make it useful.

I got this first on the second hand market and rigged it up to turn into a mini Tally-Ho blue circle back with a revealed card. I liked it so much I bought a second. With a gimmick this versatile and eye-popping, it's good to have an extra. My 2nd will be set for the inverted box. Absolutely a gimmick I will use often, and I don't use many card gimmicks. Buy 1, or 2 - you will not go wrong with this one.

WHAT YOU GET:

DVD: 5/5
The DVD is really good. It goes over many useful ideas and in depth and is very good quality too. It only has one demonstration of using quadrant in public but that doesn't really matter to me.

Gimmick: 4/5
Good quality gimmick and it will last just make sure you watch the video before trying anything or you might break the gimmick and have to get a new one. The gimmick is versatile and you can pretty much change a deck into anything small! The gimmick isn't "up-to-date" so some people might see the gimmick but if they aren't a bicycle card expert probably not. Keep in mind you will need to buy a lot of different bicycle decks so it's not that good if you live over seas like I do when a normal bicycle deck is $10! YET AGAIN, I could make my own quadrant with a local cheap deck. I gave it 4/5 mostly because it's a good idea and I guess I can put it in this category.

Performance: 5/5
Quadrant is very easy to use and looks really visual, just like in the video. This is what I love about quadrant, the idea is awesome. Just look at how he changes the deck into a mini deck with one hand! It's very easy to do!

CONCLUSION:

Price:
I would tell anyone to add it to there choose 5 list but truth is you could make one for about $6 but it wouldn't last long. You will be using this gimmick a lot but the actual material isn't much, I still think it's worth the money, it's a really good magic trick. Remember, without buying quadrant you can't make your quadrant.

If you get quadrant you won't regret it and you will use it. It also is a good magic trick.

Ok i guess, i have been using Rapture and find the handling
and disposal of the secret items are much easier without
setting up magnets.Most of the items on Quadrant can be
performed using the Rapture system and the cost is more
reasonable. the basics of both effects is tha vanishing
of a card box.

While the trick and gimmick are very clever, the DVD is one of the worst I have experienced. First, there is only a live demonstration of one of the illusions done with real people.
The deck color change doesn't explain what happens to the red card allowing you to show the backs of all the cards. There is no explanation of why the spectator would turn over his hands after placing the card on his hand. It was obvious that the "non-spectator" knew what to do ahead of time. It seems to me that you would need several gimmicks to perform the variations since you use double stick tape to attach the partial cards to the gimmick. This would mean you have to pull off the old one and replace it with another one each time. Finally I see no explanation at all as to how to use the Inversion Deck.

I PERSONALLY THOUGHT THE EXPLANATIONS WERE A LITTLE ON THE LEAN SIDE. FOR INSTANCE THERE IS NO EXPLANATION ON HOW TO SET UP THE GIMMICK FOR THE SHRINKING DECK EFFECT, FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER YOU WILL NEED TWO MINIATURE DECKS, ONE OF WHICH WILL NEED TO BE BUTCHERED. IT IS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH A LOT OF THESE GIMMICK TRICKS THAT OTHER THINGS ARE NEEDED, I WISH THEY WOULD TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE HAND TO PERFORM ALL THE EFFECTS. ON THE PLUS SIDE I DO LIKE THIS TRICK AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT AND IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT GET TWO!

I really love this trick it is so universal .This is not just a one trick pony.Much better than Rapture.If you wanty a great deck color change or box vanish.Do yourself a favor buy this!

this effect have good and bad things.
the good things: the gimmick is nice, and the dvd too.
the bad things: overpriced, can be break easily, you will need to do some work before you show it to peoples, you might need more then one, the bicycle brand change the look of the boxes but it is not realy bad.
so as you seen, there is more bad things then good things, so if you want to buy it just know thst you need to keep it very well.
but again the gimmick and the idea is pretty nice.

I just got my Quadrant DVD and Gimmick today and have been messing with it for hours. When I first started watching the DVD I noticed they only included the gimmick and DVD. You will have to by the mini-deck separately. I would also recommend buying extra magnets to be able to make multiple gimmicked cards. But all-in-all I LOVE THIS EFFECT!!! It is going to fit right in with the rest of my card routines.

There are definitely a lot of possibilities with this gimmick and the ideas presented on the DVD. The effects are pure eye candy and hyper visual! I like the shrinking deck effect the best, as of now (you'll have to buy the miniature deck). Will I perform this all the time? Probably not, but it's definitely a "go to" effect!
