Hi! This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.

DON'T DO IT! LOL!

I don't like this effect too much, but let me explain to you why. First of all, it's a much too gimmicky effect. What I mean is that the trick, making a card rise out of a deck with only the use of your mind, your magic powers, whatever, is a STRONG effect on your audiences. If this were truly possible, it would freak people out. What's bad about STRONG illusions like this is that the gimmick is the first thing people look out for. The very first thing anyone who sees this effect is going to think is, "Well it must be in the cards." And as soon as that deck of cards isn't able to be inspected, GAME OVER. Without the use of a good deck switch, this trick is completely NON-EXAMINABLE. For a strong illusion such as this, that is disastrous.

The other reason why I don't like it is that with use of Kundalini Rising or similar effects sold, the same effect is accomplished in a much better way. The deck can be borrowed, for example, and you can end completely clean and the deck completely examinable. And with Kundalini Rising, the effect is pretty simple to do. If you get all these benefits from that, why would you ever invest a gimmicky, not-clean Rising Card deck?

I personally recommend against this. You will be a much better, and more popular magician using Kundalini Rising or the other variations of Rising Card.

I got my first rising card trick when I was about 11 or 12 years old and over the years it wore out.
I never replaced it until now.... I have to say that this is the exact same method that I am used to and I absolutely LOVE this effect.
This is a new improved version and I hightly recommend even if you are just a hobbyist.
It is truely one of the easiet card tricks on the market and it always gets a great reaction.

The way this deck works allows you to perform a close up magic trick in almost any enviroment without the help of any gimmick. THe deck is self does the job. Add to cart now!

I was publicly using this trick within one day of receiving it.I used it with 2 weeks as a work gathering of around 50 folks and used 2 of our company execs to choose the cards.
Everyone was totally astounded and my reputation as a truly legit magician was instantly increased.

THIs deck will allow you to amaze people in close up performances with minimum setup. If you like to do simple things as a hobby or you are a pro you should buy this one! Buy Now!

If you are looking for a good trick get this one. I'm 11 and I performed it perfectly the first time. It is so easy. I've done it over 20 times and it hasn't failed yet. Nobody has figured out the secret... yet, and knock on wood they won't :). I recommend it to anyone who likes card magic.

Awesome trick.

The quality of this particular item is fairly low. I have had other rising decks over the years,and this one is the lowest in quality that I have had. More times than not with this deck the card rises out of the deck less than half an inch, if at all. Also the adhesive pad is so slack, that it flips over befor it comes into contact with the chosen card therefor not adhearig to the card.

It simply was not moving the card up when I flipped the deck up-side down. To get it to work, I had to shake it until it made noises and gave the gimmick away. If you want a strong effect and are willing to use a trick deck, go for the invisible deck.

This is just too gimmicky for me. The gimmick is big, and mine doesn't really seem to work all that well. I've had this for several years, and never peformed it. It's gotten some good reviews by others, but it's just not for me.

after ordering several Amy Rising decks in the past and now getting this one, the gimmic hangs up real badly. Upon expection of it the track in the gimmic is to wide causing the hang and the sliding cards in the gimmic causes it to hang as well. Like the idea of the interchangeable tape set up though.
