"The Cooler" will change the way you do card magic.

We're proud to announce the release of the most coveted and praised deck switcher in...well, ever. The testimonials speak for themselves: David Blaine, Paul Wilson, Rene Levand, Dani DaOrtiz, and on and on and on. They use it, love it, and swear by it. Christian Engblom�s "The Cooler" is about to change the way you do card magic.

The perfect deck switcher is the holy grail for card workers. It allows you to get into and out of memorized deck, gaffed work, stack work, or to change the back design. It is the "missing link" between otherwise incompatible card routines.

Deck switches are normally pretty difficult. Many involve lapping or being seated. Others require a jacket with secret pockets sewn in. Some even involve bizarre contraptions that come from your sleeve. Because of this, most magicians just opt not to switch decks. A pity, really.

The Cooler fixes all of this. It happens in plain sight, it is totally self-contained in the card box, and can be done standing, without a jacket or sleeves. You can customize this durable, precision-made plastic gimmick to any box of cards, and you can execute the switch in the hands or on the table. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

This is not a trick or a fleeting trend. �The Cooler� is a tool, destined to become an industry standard for years to come. A dozen top card men have been privy to prototypes of Christian�s remarkable invention for the last five years. Finally, they are available for wide release.

"The most beautiful deck switch I have ever seen." �David Blaine

"Where can I get one?" �Rene Lavand

"If this damn thing were any Cooler, it would be frozen!" �Max Maven

"The best deck switch I have NEVER seen!" �Wayne Dobson

* You also get a Bonus tutorial from Joshua Jay and Andi Gladwin and TWO bonus effect from Pete McCabe.

Cold on the Cooler Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 8th, 2012
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 Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 22nd, 2012
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.

It is not for a worker!!! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 26th, 2012
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...

GET THIS! Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 31st, 2012
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.

The cooler is pretty hot. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 24th, 2012
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.

Great utility Device Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 23rd, 2012
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.

it's actually pretty good Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 26th, 2013
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!
