The star of the show is the deck switch. This includes a very practical standing switch that
requires a jacket with an open front pocket (with a horizontal opening *greatly* preferred).
I don't wear this, so I'm slightly disappointed. It's advertised as being able to be performed
surrounded. This is technically true, but doing so carries a little extra risk. Still, this switch
is excellent. If you wear a jacket, use this.
I was greatly anticipating seeing how to
load a card into a plastic wrapped 'sealed' deck like in Shawn's Fool Us act. Sadly, this isn't
covered. I watched the act a few times, so I know the principle that he uses, but I wanted the
details on gimmick crafting and handling. None of that is in here.
The Oil and Water
routine is pretty good. It does use counts in the final phase that make it (and most packet tricks)
look slightly suspicious.
The Slop Shuffle routine does work on laymen. It's not my cup of
tea though. You have to speed through it to keep the participants disoriented. I'd rather not.
