TOUCH,,,,,well, This gets a 3/5 out of the gimmicked decks I have recently received in the recent months and in the past. I am a loyal, frequent PM customer and a friend of Nick, however I will always be honest with my constructive criticism.

Everything is very well taught - the very best from Nick as usual, many routines / different ways to perform the Touch deck although - the reason I give it a 3 is because of how limited you are with this deck in your hands. It is really a "One Trick" kind of deck & I was aware of that before purchasing, similar to ALPHA Deck but Alpha you can actually do completely different tricks with the deck you receive of 7 different bonus ideas, and anything you may come up with. Sure the TOUCH deck may give you ideas to create your own tricks with this deck but I am stumped ! To me, *writing out a prediction* and then basically having someone name a card and then you reveal it on the back of the joker - the trick is one of those kinda things that even Nick says, "dont do this more than once / again" as people will catch on.

This is something that unfortunately will be going on the shelves. I think it is a fine, brilliantly limited form of creativity in this deck - regardless, I don't like being so limited to only ONE trick so fast with one deck having to deck switch. I wish they would have waited and thought of ways to enhance Paul's original idea to make this have more to do with the deck. If i come up with more ideas of how to make this play out longer or something that isn't so short and then the deck needs to be cleaned up then I will be using this all the time. Until then, Thank you Penguin and Nick for this special release, one of a kind deck for sure but just make sure before you buy this that you are willing to deck switch or be okay with using this for one trick. One trick gimmicked decks typically don't last long in the trend/ making of the production of the decks, pick up yours today before they are gone if you support PM and like Nick's teaching he covers all bases does an excellent job with it all.

It was a well thought out and "honest" review. Too bad children need to make snarky immature remarks. Right omz40? I will give this trick a shot and the review was helpful...thanks.

You have to do a deck switch....boo hoo hoo hoo.

You end up with a "signed" card...Perfect transition point

Embed a few packet tricks...torn and restored...whatever...

NO ONE is keen on watching you shuffle and pick one more card anyways...

sign some cards...tear some cards...and discard the RUINED DECK. DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Try some mental agility.

I vote for the casual pocket deck switch with the usual patter.
