"You're gonna fry your audiences" -Jason Dean

WARNING: This trick isn't fair. That's the only way I can describe the feeling of performing Dropsy Diddle. It's so powerful, so easy to do, and spectators don't stand a chance.

Am I ok with this unfairness? Yes, absolutely. It's a blast, and you'll want it all to yourself.

1. Spectator freely drops a bottle cap anywhere on a spread deck.
2. ..then FREELY chooses one of the 3 closest cards (no equivoque)
3. That card PERFECTLY MATCHES the card printed under the bottle cap.

PROFESSIONALS: Jason Dean is a worker. He only creates magic for one reason: to perform himself. We were lucky enough to get him into the studio, and this trick is a gem.

I've seen Jason Dean turn every head at a backstage after-party full of genuine rockstars. The band, their fans, everyone had their eyes on Dean.

PS: Every bottle of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer has a random card printed under the cap. This makes it an awesome prop for card magic. But don't worry, you can perform this trick with any object, even just a slip of paper that you wrote on.

In an obvious move, edited out of the demo, the performer draws the selected card back to the pack. I am not revealing the slight involved, only what any spectator can see. I guess the reason it wias edited out is that just about every prospective customer would immediately understand how the trick was done.

Okay, Not worth Report this review

I like the idea of the beer cap but that is all you really get from this video. If you are not a beginner then you know all that this video teaches. I think that if this is the way of penguinmagic is headed with instant downloads then I will head elsewhere. It is not about the money it is the principle. Give your customers a good deal that is fair for the price. This one to me was a scam for the price.

Misleading Report this review

Yet another misleading trailer. The trick isn't bad and the price is right but its misrepresented. If your audience management isn't spot on, you'll be found out immediately. Disappointing.

Don't want to give anything away, but you cannot use a borrowed deck. I'm a fan of organic tricks. Even if you have to add a duplicate card to a regular deck, that's cool, although I prefer tricks that rely on purely on slight of hand, misdirection, etc.

What others have said about the PBR is true - it's critical to making this trick work right. I may try that portion of it, leaving out the method using the deck.

Also - the explanation leaves out a critical piece of instruction regarding the deck itself. That really ought to be part of the cost.

dissapointed Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 16th, 2014
As the demo claims "the sneakiest secret you may ever learn", I expected something at least interesting. Instead, I founded out a move hundred of years old and not so easy to execute in real world. Ok, it,s just five bucks, but I think it,s not worth this little money

Blah Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 13th, 2014
There are some problems here:

1. You need to do this in a setting where a bottle of Pabst Blue Ribbon is being served/drunk.

2. I have drunk a lot of of Blue Ribbon in my time (including 2 cans last night). I have never seen a bottle at a bar let alone a party. They do exist but they are not common at all -- at least where I have lived and visited.

3. The description claims you can do this with any object, slip of paper, etc. This was discussed in the video for a whole 5 seconds. The randomness of the card choice and the misdirection is all within the Blue Ribbon bottle cap.

4. You will have to rework the trick (patter, presentation, misdirection etc) if you want to use slips of paper, bottle caps or coins . This means creating a random card choice you will have to carry many slips of paper, caps or coins with different cards written on them. It's not organic as the Blue Ribbon bottle and overall not as good.

5. Bottom line don't let the description fool you. The trick completely revolves around a bottle of Pabst Blue Ribbon. Anything else is not practical and "too cute" as Jason says a couple of times in the video.

decent trick Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 14th, 2014
It is a nice way of using one slight involved in this trick.

It is not bad at all. I figured the method out the first time I watched the trailer. But I still bought the effect, because:

1. I wanted to be sure
2. I wanted to learn the nuances and tips from him directly

Personally I have to adjust the whole concept a bit - since here we don't have the brand of the beer. But I came up with a great idea on how to use any cap and justify the whole thing....

I am glad I got it in the cool box....

I dont regret it is nice idea, nice teaching. just a pity he doesn't go over the other options instead of a cap, but nice effect indeed.

Anyone Remember Artful Dodges of Eddie Fields? Report this review

I loved this trick from that book-it was presented as a "sucker" trick and had a silver-dollar with mini-card instead of bottle cap. I really like like what he has done here. This effect is totally different and is stream-lined into a very powerful (actually impossible) succinct prediction effect. If you don't have the Fields book you should buy the new updated one by Racherbaumer as there is a plethora of usable stuff. This is a great deal for ten bucks! and will give you a chance to work on your new easy sleight!

Good trick but... Report this review

It's a good effect but wish he would have discussed more about the short card shuffle/placement

New presentation on an old effect, if you have card college 1 or another beginner book than you might know this already, o.k new idea with the beer cap, but why not selling something new. The teaching and presentation is good.
