Position Impossible

Gaffed deck? Can the deck be handled by spectator? Can the deck be used for other effects or does the gaff prevent this? Will the chosen card be different every time?

But, it's a really fun effect that is easy to learn/perform and the audience reactions are strong ;-)

I was going to get this but for just one outcome that won't do it for me unfortunately. If I had all the money to spend I'd get it as I like Brent's tricks and I know this is a hit. From the videos it seems like the way he does it that every card has some system that allows you to reveal the CARD at any number they decide. So it sounds like every card has a setup with the same force card at any number they give you. For the money it's over priced to me as it is such a quick trick and if other people see the card that they landed on well..... there goes your chance to do it to the people around you that may have seen the card you revealed for them. I like to have things with multiple outcomes and scenarios, however I do get things if the concept and price is right. Cameron francis, nothing but the truth has always been one of my favorites, it only has one outcome but you will always have a strong outcome and everything isn't really seen by the spectators or people around you not included as things like that are more dialogue driven with the theme. Position impossible is a straight up card at any number so like I said for the money I'd rather get another little door gimmick as then I could have two outcomes for different people that see it as of late, when I've done it to someone and they want me to show their friend I'll sometimes say I'll do another trick as that person knows the card but sometimes I end up doing it. It's really your call some people don't mind and perform to a crowd or people always on the go. I'm not always around random groups so it tends to be friends that see something of a person I meet that join in. I could be wrong with my perception of how position impossible works but if I knew the secret I would make it myself as I have all the tools to do Card splitting, gaff desk, roughing sticks and fluids but I don't know if that's used with this. I can't remember the bio but when I saw him shuffle the deck it seemd like every card had this attached to random cards. I could make something like an invisible deck but everything face down with two cards, basically a Svengali deck and spread it out making them choose the force card at any number so this theory can really be done with a Svengali if you set it up right, again not sure how Brent sets the deck up. I may get it if I have that money tree someday soon it's a big interest to me just the price and the same card outcome really kills it for me. It would be awesome if you had a whole supply of cards to switch the 52 card that look like random playing cards but somehow have that same card attached to each card if that's how it works, so if they did that and gave you an envelope of 52 of two other card outcomes to switch the deck yourself I would buy that for $50-60
