Main problem is you can not do this effect again... At-least not to the same person or crowd.. Also
as a previous comment stated for the price 2 decks couldve been given instead of one a bit
disappointing...
Well if you actually followed the golden rules of magic you would not be doing any tricks twice for the same crowd. There is no reason to and they lose their impact and surprise factor the second time. Once is magic twice is a lesson learn the difference.
Well said. Not to beat up on the reviewer, but sirbrad said it well. If you're standing around doing the same trick over and over, you missed a lesson.
To not repeat trick is merely a guide for beginners. It is well known that a trick may be effectively repeated in certain circumstances and especially by changing up the routine a bit or a lot. This is called phasing.
I think the issue here is the difference between an amateur and a professional. While most amateurs should know the general rule of not repeating a trick, they also are in a situation where they perform for the same audiences on a regular basis. This makes it tough on them as they have to engage in the quest for different effects, which is not the path to mastery. So, with one of these decks, say the force is the Six of Clubs, while the amateur magician may know not to turn right around and repeat it, a couple weeks from now if they are doing a performance for a group of friends/families, the six of clubs will still be the chosen card. The effects that are going to use the same force card everything are best for professionals who are changing their audiences constantly. A deck with a second force card would be helpful, although you still wouldcn't want to repeat the trick in the same performance, it would allow you to switch the next time you perform (and continue switching back and forth. I don't know if that would work but it would give the amateur performance time to hone their presentation. IMHO
