Just received mine the other day and I've spent quite a bit of time trying to make it operate
smoothly. So far, despite the effort, I'm not seeing this as a viable tool under actual performance
conditions. The specific are too difficult to explain without tipping the method, which may already
be obvious in the demo, but this one is going into the junk magic drawer. Sorry, wish I had a
better review as I really wanted to like this item.

The Cooler is a great idea that isn't nearly as bullet proof as the ad and glowing testimonials
suggest. The actual handling on the table is fine, EXCEPT that you don't want the gimmick near a
spectator or on display for long. Any spectator who looks at the card box for more than a few
seconds will begin to wonder why it looks so strange. Am I being paranoid? Just a bit, but no amount
of misdirection will compensate for a gimmick that looks less than innocent and a spectator who is
extra inquisitive (we've all had them, right?) That said, I really like the in-the-hands deck
switch. The gimmick is in play for just a few seconds and the switch happens on the offbeat and away
from the table. I wish Christian had spent more time thinking about and explaining in-the-hand
switches, as I believe this is a better use of the gimmick. Just my opinion, but based on performing
professionally for corporate audiences for 30+ years. Cheers.

This is just an overrated, actually unpractical product. There was a big talking about it (wizard
product review) but only for advertisement. This product is not good!! It is so obvious, if the
spectator isn't blind he sees that the box looks soooo unreal! It is so big, makes sounds, you have
to be very careful about moving it, you can't lift it off the table, so many limitations! Don't get
this, get a deck shell, or switch the deck in your pocket in the off-beat, which is the easiest way
to do a switch. Overpriced, overrated, you won't use it, maybe on tv or in a parlour show, where the
people are not close up...

I was able to get one at Magic-Con 2012 and this thing is amazing. I agree when David Blaine says
"The most beautiful deck switch I have ever seen"! This switch is genius! Definitely worth getting
it! You won't regret it.

After watching the trailer for The Cooler, I made whatever sacrifices in my budget to make sure that
I got it that very second. After recieving it, I was slightly disappointed because I thought that it
would have been slightly more "clean", but that doesn't mean that I don't love it, I
do.
Since I primarily use artifice decks, I spray painted "the gimmick", to fit the particular color scheme that went with the artifice decks. It looks much more clean and visually examinable with black decks than with white decks due to shade complications. I do agree with one of the previous reviewers that you cannot display it for too long or it will probably be noticed. I also do not agree with the creator's own applicatioin on numerous fronts in his own presentation. I do agree that the creator wasn't that creative in giving a variety of routines and applications. He could have done one of the most visual color changing deck routines ever, but he didn't even entertain the idea. Did this review help you?

If you watched the trailer then you know what it does and it does it well. If you think you have a
use for it, then get it.

You know, I almost didn't order this based on the reviews. But I really wanted a better way to do
Blizzard so I got it plus a quality deck shell to see what I liked better. I'm going to be using The
Cooler. It takes some practice, but it does work and no one notices anything out of the ordinary
about the box. I did find that you have to hold it by the short edges on the top and bottom, though
(the sides bow in and prevent a smooth operation otherwise). But that's fine once you figure that
out. Once you get it down, it's very smooth and such a great way to switch out a deck!
