First of all i agree with the previous review from tad in edmonton. I agree 100%. Altho he gave it 4 stars to me personally i feel its a five and ill explain why.

I purchased this effect knowing what most of the method was but even tho i knew 80 % of the method i had 0 idea how to possibly execute the beauty of this trick . its perfect for magic and mentalism combined , you get 3 surprizing moments and they hit hard twice then destroy on the third reveal. And with theset up version there is virtually no moves you have so much freedom on presentation its awesome.

Another note you also learn how to do this with a borrowed shuffled deck. And beleive me when i sayy this . Its almost as killer as the set up version. You still make three killer predictions but i feel the predictions are a little stronger in the set up vesion. Impromptu version however there are two minor sleights you have to execute but these are move that define weather you should quit magic or not they are that easy and they are common knowledge for beginner card magicians. Both methods taught are both workers and im gonna set it up tonight.

I noticed dave forrest seems to actually care about the quality of his teaching and the magic. He seems to really respect the viewer aka "us" and he could have priced this wayyy higher. I never heard of dave forrest before and i am very picky with people and dave is instantly likeable. I will be purchasing from him in the future. Make this purchase you wont regret it. And i repeat the impromptu version altho you can carry predictions with you its not necessary because you can do it all on the spot unprepared.

I happen to be extremely skilled in performance with magic and mentalism and i f**kin love this effect. Much respect dave this is going into my future shows and performances.

Love this trick, easy set up, immediate reset and ready and easy from the get go.
No slight of hand or shuffles... Just great!
I am just getting into cards and this is a great place to start.

I got this trick because the description said it can be done impromptu (I mostly only use borrowed decks). This is true. Of course, it is going to be slightly different looking than the prepared deck. But it still looks very strong.

I actually think the impromptu version is stronger than the prepared one. Here is why. In the prepared version the deck is never shuffled. This makes the spectator think that there is a mathematical system being used. The first two predictions are not that impressive. It is the third prediction that really sells the idea that the magician knew ahead of time what will happen. In the impromptu version there is no mathematical system to rely on, as it is somebody's else deck. Therefore, the first two predictions are significantly stronger, the audience no longer thinks it is part of some mathematical system.

I believe in the principle that the only force is the classic force, or a forcing deck (Svengali). No other forces, they all look weak and suspicious. So I tend to avoid all tricks that involve forces, unless I have some forcing deck with me. There is a force in the impromptu version, but it is so natural (it involves counting down cards, as in the demo) that it smoothly blends in. And so it does not appear to be a suspicious way for a spectator to choose a card. In fact, I did not even realize that a force for used in the impromptu version! So you can use the impromptu version without looking suspicious with a force.

I haven't set this effect up yet. But it's really clever and, I think, almost impossible for them to reverse engineer. And three climaxes - each one more impossible than the last. I love it.

This is a triple bam effect. The spectator gets "wow"ed several times and is easy to perform. There are no complications with this effect since it is very easy to do. I highly recommend this effect!

I love this item. It leaves a lot of room for presentation to be original. It's truly great and the only deck you need to carry with you if you combine it with "Phantom" by Spidey. You can't go wrong with that trick immediately following this one.

I can't say more without giving too much away but it's the first trick that I perform wit a deck of cards and the only one that I have with me at all times.

Just awesome. So glad i started the new year with this. Get it now!

This is an amazing effect! I have the set up version read to go at all times!
There is some very clever thinking here and its very easy to do. It may be one of the two strongest effects I've purchased so far this year.....$12? WELL WORTH IT!

Have fun!

This effect is incredible. It looks so fair, with the showing of the backs. It gets great reactions everytime.
