Magic Tricks

This is an excellent effect, but, I agree with the other review, it's not needed. The gimmicks included are optional, depending on you. The only two uses for the gimmicks:

1. Have the selected card be in it's exact location (right position).
2. Make it easier to load the selected card into the sealed deck.

1. I personally don't mind if the selected card isn't in the right position, because the fact that there's ONE red card inside of a SEALED deck AND it's the signed card would be enough for the spectator. Showing that it's in the right position is just an extra. When you reveal their sign card to be in the sealed deck, no one is going to ask or care what its position in the deck is UNLESS you point it out to them. So, I don't think it's completely necessary.

2. The second function of the gimmicks is to make the loading of the card easier. You can do the exact same effect, signed card to sealed deck, without the gimmicks, it's going to be a little bit harder. And by harder I mean by like 1%. Just practice the loading without gimmicks a few times and you should be fine.

In conclusion, the gimmicks aren't necessary to do the trick. Just put the gimmicks aside (don't throw them away, you paid for them), and do this with a normal deck, and end completely clean and examinable. The gimmicks are only there in case you want to use them. So yeah, gimmicks not needed.

Also, the easiest way to perform this is by wearing a jacket. I did't feel like doing this so I tried putting the deck in my backpack. It didn't work. I would have to have the audience face the complete opposite direction for them to not know what I was doing. In other words, you NEED to wear a jacket. The jacket provides the cover necessary to do the trick. If you don't have pockets, it comes with a holder that has an adhesive to stick inside a jacket of your choice. But keep in mind, the adhesive is INCREDIBLY, EXTREMELY STICKY. So, the jacket you decide to put it in, choose wisely, because you won't be able to take it out without ruining the stickiness. I don't really to this trick very much because of the jacket restriction.

Also, if you're going to buy this, buy wonder sealer first. If you don't have a wonder sealer, you will need to buy a brand new deck EVERY time you do the trick. (also get some deck seals).

So, that's pretty much it. It's a great effect, but, you don't need the gimmicks. But overall it's a nice effect.
