The idea is brilliant, unfortunately the manufacturing is lacking a bit.
The deck really allows
you to show any chosen card on the jokers (except je joker...). Can hand out the Jokers to the
audience and they won't find anything suspicious. Though that is not true about the deck. The deck
is treated in very specific way so you can show only the selected card. This treatment has however
some setbacks and unskilled hands may have certain problems. So the deck was treated again so this
makes the handling easier. It is a wonderful Idea however the second treatment uselessly symmetrical
(the asymmetrical treatment would work even better because due to the symmetry the treatment is
visible to the spectator).
The second issue I have is the deck coming preprinted, as I am from
not English speaking country and remaking the trick (from this very deck) to any other language is
quite pricey, if you don't have abundance of Maidens at hand. And still you have the "problem" with
the symmetric treatment.
However I did the deck, from the scratch so once you find out how is
it done, you can quite easily make it on your own.
First review I wrote for this trick was
really bad so I would like to redeem a bit and make it better
Great job R Paul Wilson
Btw I
really appreciate the aid from The Penguin customer support as they sent me another deck, still with
the symmetric treatment. But I appreciate their willingness to do so
