Pros: Very clever MO and outstanding training videos from Craig.

Cons: Biggest problem: letting spectators handle the deck, and disrupting the order by examining, dropping, mixing, etc. Good luck putting the deck back together which makes it almost impossible to repeat....and my spectators always ask to do it again. You can get away with it, as Craig did, virtually, but not in person.

I also received about 8 cards that were "ordinary" and could not be used unless I "fixed" them. A flaw in the mfg process IMO. Maybe the second supply round end of March will eliminate this.

Problem #1 solution: Don't let the spectators handle the deck. That thought sounds like a typical magician trying to show everything is "fair" when there is no need. The trick will astound them.
Problem #2: Don't drop the deck. However, you can easily visually put it back together. Of course, if you drop it while performing it, let it go till you are in private. Learn not to drop the cards.
Problem #3: You COULD do it again ... but why? That group/person saw it. It isn't necessary to do it 10 times in a row to show how smart you are. You are doing it to entertain. Entertain and, if they are amazed, show them something else.
My deck came in perfect condition ... but I did have to work with the cards.

the way to not have to do it again is to either use it as your closer or have another trick to perform. Don't show up with just one trick. If you are in high school, which is where this scenario usually arises and I remember this problem well, you have to move on to another effect. I know the pressure can be immense to repeat because they are begging or sometimes taunting you, but just don't do it right then. Move on and ignore the taunters. Like I said, this can be tough, but it is great early audience management practice. If you do this, you will get better eventually. But you have to learn how to manage the audience.... Good luck!
