I purchased two Brainwave decks very recently from Penguin and was most impressed with the their delivery to Australia.
However both decks work well with the rough & smooth but will
not spread at the correct named card. I have performed the
Brainwave deck for very many years successfully but in recent months when purchasing new Brainwave decks, they all fail to spread at the appropriate place. The decks I have been buying are all from Murphy's Magic, so I think the fault lies with them and not Penguin Magic. The Brainwave routine has long been my favourite effect, so feeling disappointed that the
Murphy's Decks ( that most dealers now supply) are poorly prepared by the manufacturer. David J. (down under)

Almost no roughness straight out of the package. Usually these things take months to lose their magic.
Guess I'll try "recharging" it myself. :(

On the reverse... Got an invisible deck in the same order that was very rough. Which I like.

What a great way to perform the invisible deck in a new way. The handling will take some time to practice. Oz does a great job teaching the handling. You will not be able to hand the deck out for examination. This is a top-quality deck.

Coming back into magic and had to have this classic in my collection! It didn't disappoint. Must have for all who do or like magic.

What a great deck, + a good presentation this effect will give you a reputation wherever you go.
