Sadly I have to give this a negative review as I do not think many people will actually use this effect.

With that said.. It is only $6.00 so not going to kill your bank. However, I debated buying this download for over a week. The idea of a solid ACAAN with a shuffled and borrowed deck is to enticing to pass up. So I decided to buy it, it's only $6.00 at the end of the day. There aren't many reviews of this online so I decided to take the gamble..

There are multiple routines taught on this video, however, only one involves a regular or borrowed deck. The slights are tough in my opinion and you don't have much solid misdirection to justify them which is a big problem. It feels like a lot to do to get this effect to happen, very clunky. There are gimmiked decks that are much stronger/easier to perform, I'd strongly recommend Position Impossible. I will never perform this because I feel it's way to easy to get caught. To many slights and to obvious. I'm a intermediate card guy but wouldn't feel confident trying this in the real world. Maybe if you are really slick with cards this could be powerful.

The method is very interesting but it just feels like a reach and not very realistic to pull off in real world performance. It did make me think though, which I enjoyed.

The young gentlemen that out this together have a ways to go in there production quality as there was a lot to be desired there. However, they got the information across in a professional manner. Excited to see these two evolve and put out more material as they are talented. Really appreciated their thoughts on practice and not just going out there in prepared with this trick.

It gets a 3 star because I'll probably never use it as my opinion is that it's clunky and because out of all of the routines only one uses a normal deck as promoted in the ad copy which I felt was a bit misleading. The promo video is also not the routine that uses the borrowed deck.

Hope this helps those considering buying.. at the end of the day if you are interested, it is only $6.00 so support these guys and check it out.

I've been stronly debating between this effect or position impossible, given the 34 dollar difference would you say the fact that the gimmicked, un-examined-able pack is still superior to Numero?
