Blindsided by Oz Pearlman (Instant Download) - The perfect trick for spectators who think they know what's coming! Hit them with this insanely visual FULL-DECK color change.
From the mind of Oz Pearlman comes one of the most shocking FULL-DECK color changes ever invented. This is not a camera trick. This is not an impractical once-in-your-lifetime effect.
Blindsided was born for restaurant and party gigs. It's a highly-practical, visually stunning effect that's well motivated and fun to perform.
Great opener
Instantly repeatable
Perfect for restaurant and party gigs

This is a very good intermediate level effect. Basically, the spectator chooses a card, you attempt to find it... you choose the wrong card, but then it changes to the selected card... and then you reveal that their selection was the only odd-backed card in the entire deck, even though they've (apparently) been seeing the backs of the full deck during the entire routine.
During the course of the explanation, you'll have quite a few sleights explained in adequate detail... riffle force, slip cuts, acquiring breaks, the shake change, classic pass... there's an impressive amount of material packed into a short amount of time.
If you're already handy with a deck of cards, this is a really nice routine to play around with. If you're a beginner, this is a good introduction to more advanced handlings, since you'll end up with good instruction on a solid bunch of useful moves.

Colour changing deck routines are really good. The downside to them is that some of them are a bit tricky to perform. This version isn't completely brand new but Oz has added some nice elements to it. The handling of this particular version is actually really easy. Another great thing about this trick is that it instantly resets so you are able to do it again for a new crowd without having to set it up again. My only suggestion for when you perform this is to avoid really trying to sell the colour of the deck because you don't want to give away the finally.

Official B_Magic Review!

Hi! This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.
Now this is what I'm looking for when it comes to digital downloads! For the most part, a lot of the digital downloads I've gotten have been somewhat disappointing for me. A lot of that has to do with the fact that a lot of the downloads, at one point, were geared more toward a beginner. With Blindsided, that is not the case. This effect is awesome!
Be prepared, like most good magic this effect will take some work and practice, but the trick is well worth it. Highly visual, beautiful, and is guaranteed to get a killer response. This one is a must-buy in my opinion. Add to cart now!

Oz has shown us great tricks around penguin magic. This one is no exception! The visual effect of changing the color of the cards is amazing and it leaves people wondering. With practice you can do this trick anywhere anytime. BUY THIS NOW!
This is incredible. I love this trick, I would do it all the time were it not for the fact I love Sankey's remix so much. It ends completely clean, which is a real neccessity for color changing deck tricks so thats great, its really visual and happens right in their face. I did this in camp for over 100 people thats how big the audience it plays for is.
