A grand slam home run for Craig and Lloyd. What is keeping it from a 5 star is that there is
website that must be used as part of the trick that is not mentioned in the trailer. One other
thing is the deck cannot be examined.
So without giving anything away, upon opening the
box, I was disappointed these were not Bicycle cards but after watching the 6 minute tutorial it
became obvious why and the disappointment evaporated!
The cards are marked in a clumsy
manner, but I can deal with it as the purpose is a double check. The marked decks from Penguin are
far superior but then again, you cannot use this deck for anything else other than this trick. You
can swap/substitute the deck out as the end of the trick with a Phoenix deck as it has a similar
design if you are savvy enough!
So all in all, it seems pricy but it is a very special deck
that really cannot be easily replicated so it is worth the cost. You also get 3+ hours of
instructions over 7 separate videos of added materials. Great trick by these two guys!
You do NOT have to use the website. Please make sure to understand the effect before writing a review. There are MULTIPLE ways to get the information you need. One way is the website. Another is the notes app on your phone. And another way involves having someone film your performance.
Also, the deck CAN be examined. Laypeople aren't magicians. They won't know what they're looking at.
Also you didn't watch any of the trailers before you bought it.....wait..you did. Then you know they were not bicycle cards.
So you are saying that the trick relies on either a web page, or a smart phone. This is definitely NOT the holy grail of ACAAN. And the video for this trick appears hugely misleading, with zero use of a smart phone to be seen.

Reply to EDDIEGR7: you must use a website. The Notes app is just a guise for a website. As for the deck to be examined, yeah, you might get away with it, but these cards are not printed on standard card stock and have a thinner, plastic feel. Regardless, still a great trick and the cost is in line with what you receive.
UPDATE!!!! Ok, I will bump this up to 5 stars as Team Craig Petty came up with an alternative that uses NO WEBSITE and NO PHONE!!! And they released it at no additional cost. Absolutely brilliant!!!
I see on one of the trailers that the spectator does not have to give you the card or number? if that is true then what are you doing?
