Ladanye has created a very beautiful piece of card magic with this effect.

It is a bit procedural and that there is quite a lot of dealing and instruction going on. But, provided you can keep that interesting, you'll have a small miracle on your hands when you reveal the locations of both cards.

He teaches two variations to the original that allow card magicians of any skill level to perform it.

Of particular interest to me, he also spends a few minutes at the end of the explanation (ala Darwin Ortiz & Roberto Giobbi) talking about Theory and Placement of the illusion in your show which is an aspect of instruction that is overlooked way too often by many creators.

Easily a 5 star illusion.

While I don't think this is such a bad trick, I don't see myself performing this very much. It is a rather long trick. Heaven knows I have nothing against long tricks.(I perform Roberto Giobbi's/Stewart James, Further Than Ever all the time!)I feel like if an effect has to be long then it should also have entertainment value every step of the way. This effect spends over its first five minutes "Shufflin', cuttin' and 'splainin'!" Aye Yi Yi!!! Lucy get to the MAGIC!!! I can't see my spectator's being anything but politely bored with five minutes of "Shufflin', cuttin' and 'splainin'! As I mentioned Stewart/Giobbi's gem (Further Than Ever) is long but it has humor and hard hitting entertainment value EVERY step of the way. With five count 'em, moments of WOW!!! Please don't misconstrue this review. This is NOT a pitch for Further Than Ever. Nor is it my intent to dissuade you from purchasing 1000,000 Location. This may well be YOUR kind of magic! Based on how long it took me to LOCATE the magic in this one, unfortunately it is not my kind of magic. I need something that will take my audiences Further Than That.

I'm not big on skill - I seek out effects that are mostly self-working so I can concentrate on the presentation. The $100,000 Location satisfies that need. The tiniest bit of memorization is required, but this is also incredibly easy. This is a GREAT effect that I will use.

Skill level on this to really work is a notch or two above beginner, but certainly nothing that isn't do-able without a bit of practice.

And the practice will be reap great rewards, because this is a trip. The randomness is seemingly genuine,and the reveals are staggeringly impressive.

This may take some time, but you will thank Jason Ladanye later. Guaranteed.

I did it to ten different sets of folks. Mostly, it seemed they got tired of the repetition. I'd made the point of the cards being clearly mixed early on and they got it. They didn't have a dynamite final reaction. Too long a routine, and especially in the middle of a five routine set (#3). Hide a card, find a card. I expected it to have a greater impact, and it was just average. The premise is good, the impossibility is fine. So, it's worth trying. Hope you have better results than I.

This effect took me longer than usual to learn and perform, not because it was particularly difficult, but because I had to adjust the flow and patter to fit my style. At first I was a bit put off by Jason Ladanye's performance style, but setting that aside you discover a few things: (1) he has come up with a brilliant and beautiful effect, and (2) he genuinely loves magic and is a knowledgeable and skilled teacher. His instruction was excellent and covered multiple scenarios and situations. I hope that more trick creators take a cue from Jason and offer more detailed instruction and cover the nuances of performance. In the end, I would say that the trick isn't quite a beginner trick, but it's still not particularly difficult if you're moderately comfortable with cards. I highly recommend this effect.

A very solid, hard hitting piece of magic. Not difficult to do and returns an amazingly strong effect on your audience. The procedural requirements are competently disguised, though it could have been framed or scripted with just a bit more camouflage.

One caveat which any purchaser should know. This does not bear repeating, so it’s not for strolling or table hopping due to certain similarities which will become a question to your audience.

That said this truly is a solid piece for a showcase item. Something special to share with a deserving audience. 😉

Hi all
Let me start off with this....
This trick is a killer for the lay audience!
As Jason would say “this is not an opener” but used in the middle or your set will entertain for sure.
The patter can be changed very easily to your own style
This is not a hard effect to learn but you will need good patter while doing the procedural moves
But it’s the killer ending that makes this worth its weight in gold
Jason’s video is well shot and explained with a very good live showing at the beginning of the video
There is no hard slights to learn. But some basic math and some memory work ( all not hard. Especially if you have a mem deck in your arsenal)
This trick with a slightly different ending can be done with a borrowed shuffled deck too
All in all I love this effect and I’m using now to fool my spectators and getting that killer ending that we all love
If blowing your audience away is you thing. Then buy this!

I think this is a great impromptu trick with or without the kicker ending. I don’t want to give too much away but is possible to take a new deck and get set for this with a couple shuffles if you are a better cardician than me. But forget the setup and go for the impromptu version and you have a great card trick. The process, as shown in the trailer, can be a little tedious (dealing into 2 piles twice) but can be explained as better than a shuffle since every card is displaced and they can see there is no tricky moves.

This impact to effort ration on this is very high, go for it.

Too much explication and pointless repetitions obscure what might be a good trick.
