After watching the trailer for this, I was hooked!
Perform a deck switch without touching
the deck! In front of your spectators!
How could I not want this?!
What I got was
a baffling collection of gimmicks and a criminally short tutorial video. I'm not sure what they were
smoking over at Murphy's but it definitely messed with their heads, because nobody in their right
mind would release this.
In the trailer, he asks the spectator who signed their card if
they chose the Joker. I thought that this was a throwaway part of the act, but there is a reason why
he does that. In the trailer, it also says that you can perform this surrounded. This is technically
correct, if you want to get caught. You obviously have to cover up what you're doing and there's no
way that you could do this surrounded.
The setup required is absolutely mind boggling. The
gimmick itself looks terrible compared to any card case and anyone with eyes will be able to tell
that something's up.
I could go on and on about this, but I'd give too much away regarding
the actual method. What I will say is this: The effect of performing a deck switch without touching
the deck is a truly great idea, but this is so poorly conceived that you may as well just tell the
spectator what you're doing. You're much better off saving your money.

I bought this from another site simple because I didn’t see it listed on Penguin. I don’t write
reviews, but I feel obligated to write this one because I got the product pretty quickly after
release and it might save someone else the money. This is comically bad and bizarrely complicated.
If you want it to work like in the trailer, you have to mount things to the performing surface. This
cannot be done on a closeup mat, at least not as it is now.
Personally, I don’t care at
all about the discrepancies with the cards, as that was visible in the video. Those type of things
can be made to work with choreography, and I bought this knowing that fact. I collect deck switches,
and this is the first one I am wholly unsatisfied with.

I bought this on another site, and I must say I wholeheartedly regret it. The one gimmick is
literally just out in the open for everyone to see! I do my best to justify small things, but with
this?? There is no way. Don't buy this.

So misleading. First of all the ad says perform surrounded...NOT. You will get cought. This is so
not practical in so many ways and for the price I say don't buy this you will be disappointed.

Another gimmick straight into the junk draw never to be seen again..
looks really cheaply made,
the tutorial for assemble isn’t explained properly on how to put it together. Really disappointed
with this as it’s quite expensive

I have tested many decks switch on the market ( i mean most of them are very difficult to perform
and lot of manipulation just to perform a deck switch) but this one is by far one of the best deck
switch ever made it is very easy to perform the switch of course on top the table or a close up mat
and without touching the deck? it is insane!

On the video is obvious when the box is slides on top of the other deck. Just look 2 seconds after
he aligns the deck by the box, please the video needed to be edited.
