Wow, this product is fairly underwhelming all around. First, you only get half a deck to work with so you'll need to cannibalize another deck to perform this. Second, the back design of the blue cards is different from actual Bicycle stock, so your force card will stand out as different when you do the spread (and they are supposed to be regular angels, not the mandolin or maiden backs).

Finally, the instructions. Ouch. There is no voice over, you just work with the words on the screen, and a very large number of them are misspelled. The "magician" keeps flashing the gimmicks while he works, and then the words come up "Make sure not to flash" when you do the moves--all the while letting us see it done wrong. And hey, you need to force a card...using a force I've never heard of...and it's not explained...and you don't have any other forcing options that I'm aware of due to the delicate nature of handling the deck.

I feel safe in saying this is a "video only" trick and hardly capable of performing live without some killer audience management skills with that stupid force. By the way, when he does the force in the teaching video he flashes the gimmick again.

Avoid this one and get either "Cheek to Cheek" by Oz or "A Horse of a Different Color", both of which do almost this same effect but with much better handling.

The potential this trick has is tremendous, in my opinion. However, there is essentially only one move (force) you have to do, and it is never explained in any detail. I have gone through the my repertoire of forces and none seem to work for this trick.

This is largely for video only as the deck is not fully examinable unless you attempt a switch and there is no clear way to force the card. It should have been obvious when this 'magician' doesn't talk in the demo and continues that trend through the tutorial.

Based on what I just said, however, I still plan on working with this deck to try and develop new variations and ideas to make it work for me, so I won't discourage you from buying it, as a good magician can innovate instead of copy.

This is identical to "Cheekr Triumph" by Chris Westfall. Complete ripoff

Its OK. Exactly what I thought it was. I don't care for the tutorial. Its very short and does not explain the preferred method of forcing a face up card or way out if needed. Also tutoriual says you get 52 cards. I only got 25 gimmicks which means you have to supply the other cards. At 34.95 you would think it would be included.

This is a good trick but the instructional video is lacking and seams to have been thrown together too quickly. The trick requires a CF that has to be done face up yet he doesn't explain how to do it and you are only provided with the gaffs so you need to provide your own deck as well.

The color change in the end is a bit of an overkill, I like it but some probably won't. You could do this trick with the color changing deck but not have the spectators card be the only blue one left and then you wouldn't have to use the face up CF. There would be a limited selection for the spectator but it would seam fair. Being able to show the fronts fixed and realigned with the spread in the end and the backs completely and freely is a nice touch.

In my opinion this trick seams like it is trying to appeal to beginners and hobbyist type magicians yet the instructions aren't given as so. That's a definite negative.

In the end it's a good trick that is very magical and straight forward but the overall package for this high price doesn't seam worth it. I imagine most experienced magicians would skip this gaffed version for whatever regular deck version they are doing.

I have purchased 3 or 4 triumphs this past year and this one is my favorite. Dirty? Yes. Knacky? Yes. BUT KILLER? Yeasssssss! Heads up: the blue backed gaffs are "maiden back" cards and so you might want to pick up a blue maiden back deck to "flesh out: your color switch.

Got my cards quickly. Practiced for a couple hours, and was ready to perform! Lots of jaws dropped at the end with the color change! Just be careful not to allow spectators to examine the cards! Have fun!

Being a working magician this card effect in my opinion requires to many moves with the chance of exposing the trick. If you do buy this trick be prepared to practice a lot to get it perfect.oh and the cards backs don't exactly match bicycle backs but.. no one will ever notice.
