This trick is a huge waste. For 4-5 times the price of Brainwave or Invisible decks, you get about
10% the reaction. The misdirection required really diminishes the effect. Not only that the cards
themselves seem to be of poor quality. This trick is really just an expensive Invisible deck that's
harder to pull off and a poorer trick in everyw ay. Save money and go buy the Invisible deck.

The idea of the trick is really good but the ending is pretty weak. You also don't want the
spectators handling the cards otherwise you could be in big trouble. Another downside is that they
aren't printed on bicycle stock so for me it would be very unnatural for me to use it now. I would
just stick to the card in pocket and ignore what Oz did in the video all together.
Having
said all this, I still believe this still deliver a strong performance. Just make sure you practice
your patter because if you just deal the cards out then your audience might realize that something
fishy is going on. If you are big into gaffed decks then think about this one. I like it but I think
it has too many flaws.
the idea for the trick is nice, but 25 dollars is expensive especially when im sure you clever
people can figure out a way to accomplish the trick with a normal deck. neat plot tho
If you put a little bit of your own touch on this, you might make a decent trick out of it. However,
if you're going to go strictly by the directions you're heading into dangerous territory. For one
thing, handing these to the spectator to count out will make you sick to your stomach the whole time
they have them. One wrong move on their part (such as turning the deck to the side to see the backs)
and you're busted.
Second, the kicker isn't a kicker at all. You're supposed to have done
this amazing effect and you end with a very weak laugh at best. There's no way this makes sense.
If you want to salvage this effect, then YOU handle the cards and skip the countdown.
Instead, do an instant ribbon spread and have them search for their card quickly. They won't find
it, you scoop up the deck and slip it into your pocket or the case (and switch it out at the end for
a normal deck if you want it examinable). The trick can end there (it's just a full-deck Princess
Trick at that point). As an alternative, pull out the envelope and do that horrible "52 on 1"
ending, but finish by pulling the card out of your wallet, shoe, pocket, or whatever. The unique
build of the PD allows you to only have to carry a few cards on your person at a time. When they
tell you the card they thought of, you just have to remember where you're holding that particular
card.
Just come up with something on your own. Don't let the limitations of this deck keep
you from performing some small miracle or another.
i love this deck i show it to my friend and he was totally amazed
Just three word add to
carts!!!
i really didnt enjoy this trick. Takes ALOT!!! of misdirection and the patter doesn't make complete
sense, i recommend the invisible deck instead
