This is Andy Nyman at his best. The Code is not a trick, but rather a multi-purpose utility deck
that should be in every mentalist's tool box. With it you can perform perfect cold cutting, a true
any card at any number, direct revelation of any card glimpsed by a participant, and countless other
variations. Your imagination is the only limit. Did I forget to mention it also works fine for
virtually anything you do with a normal deck. Trying to broaden your ideas; The Code pairs well
with Juan Tamariz's Mneumonica (the deck is specifically designed in certain ways to allow
incorporation of Mneumonica principles, although you do not need to know Mneumonica to use the code)
and/or Asi Wind's evolution. The working is very easy to learn. There are no angle issues. This
is made for people who actually perform! Personally, I wish the price were considerably higher to
keep it out of the reach of those who are not serious performers.

This is a really well thought out idea. The materials are well built and nobody will know the secret
until it's pointed out and explained. But if you watched the trailer and initially thought "this
isn't my style" then don't buy it. This is one if those hit or miss on a personal level effects. But
I think most people will enjoy it and like the idea.

This is an absolutely ingenious concept to pull off amazing mentalism. Coming into it I thought it
would take a while to learn, but I literally learnt the code in seconds and performed it to a crazy
reaction after watching not even half an hour of the dvd. Andy is a very warm teacher. His
instructions are clear and the quality of the video makes it very easy to learn as well. The
routines provided are absolutely killer that will fry audiences. I cannot wait to use this more and
play with it.
The routines are so direct you look like a mindreader - it is in the league
of effects performed by top notch TV magicians like Dynamo and Blaine. You will love the code and be
performing it in literally minutes. I'm very happy with my purchase!
If you want to look
like an impossible mentalist/freak of nature with so little practice, don't hesitate in adding it to
card, The Code is almost too easy.

You will confuse many magicians when you perform this (especially if you follow the directions given
to you by Andy for performance), but you won't outright fool them. The method is pretty much what
you think it is, though there are a few add-ons that make this deck unique from others on the
market.
It needs to be noted that shuffling this deck will nullify two of the three unique
things about it. You can put it back in the order you need it in though. This is not a normal "new
deck" stack, so even if you never shuffle it it will look cleanly shuffled. It is very easy to read,
which is another shortcoming because it is not examinable by any means. A casual glance will be
fine, but anyone holding the deck for less than 30 seconds will find the secret. Still, there is a
strong routine added where you use a regular deck in addition to the Code deck--and even allow the
spectator to keep the regular deck after the effect--that will keep most people off the scent. The
fact that you can do so many different things with the deck makes it a must-have in your arsenal of
decks.

This is by far the best deck I've bought! I carry it with me at all times. This is something you
won't want to miss out on, magician's will probably catch on to how you do the trick, but if you
perform it right no one should notice how you do it! This goes great with the invisible deck, and
also "note by matt sconce" in my opinion. Gets very nice reactions.

It's one of the best effects I have ever purchased truly a work of art the "Gimmick" is in my
opinion more of a utility device you are only limited by your imagination there are so many
possibilities add to shopping cart now I promise you that you won't regret it

This is by far the best ****** deck I have seen. Andy is a really good teacher and a very good
performer. Such a good product for such a low price, make yourself a longlasting gift and buy it
you'll use it.

I have found my new go to deck. The Code has so many great built in features that you can use or
just use a few and go about your normal routine. I will be buying refills as soon as they are
available because I want to have back ups and also set them up with Science Friction so these can
be my every day decks.

It fools me completely! When I got the deck, I thought it is a normal deck but it's actually not. I
am so amazed with this deck of playing cards ---- The code. In addition, the DVD is so good.
Everything is well-taught by Andy Nyman. This is a must-have! And for only $25, I highly recommend
this!
