It is cool, BUT it's not that practical...you just showed that there were multiple values of
cards....then they are all blank....guess what? The SPECTATORS now want to see the deck AND you
can't hand it out!! It's a cool effect, but this trick has sat in the drawer for more than 10 years
ago;when it was first put out!!! I'd highly recommend BLIZZARD or learn a deck a switch....sorry,
can't recommend it that much.

I have been using this in table hopping and walk around for 15 years. White Bikes really packs a
punch. I consistently get a GREAT reaction EVERY time.
Unfortunately another reviewer says
it has been in his drawer for 10 years because he was concerned that you can't have them examine the
deck. While this is true, at the end you can show/handle the deck quite freely, even if you cannot
hand it out. However, after having performed this trick hundreds of times, I do not ever recall a
single time when anyone asked me to examine the deck! Perhaps it is because they are stunned and are
trying to process what they just saw. Or perhaps they obviously see it is not a regular deck because
the faces are all blank. While I'm not sure why, it turns out that reviewers fear is unwarranted.
BUY IT, USE IT, and YOU'LL LOVE IT!

It's a jaw dropper for sure. And easy to perform. Someone complained that you can't hand the cards
out at the end for examination. Ever see Copperfield let the audience come up on stage and poke
around his illusions after the effect? Just snatch the cards up and put em back in the case or your
pocket and walk away. Can't let the audience goof around with a bite out coin either. A little
audience control and you got it.
In a word "Awesome!"

If you already have Fadeout or Colossal Blizzard, then you don't need to buy this. It alot similar
to Fadeout but you only get to throw in mentalism kick in which I'm not a big fan of mentalism but
my opinion, I think it pretty cool but Colossal Blizzard is whole lot better than this one and more
fun to do. I got this for 50 percent off because I want some new gimmick deck but it not special or
unique as I hope it will be. However, this is good for beginner and doesn't take much work. Deck
require little sleight of hand and good crowd control skill.

White Bikes is a great effect. Just when your audience thinks they have seen the "Tricks" you
casually knock their socks off with a killer finish. The reset is super easy and even a beginner
like me can look like a competent magician. It is denintly worth the price. Buy it!!!!

White Bikes Rocks!
Matthew presents a fabulous routine built around the concept and he
does a superb job in explaining every detail
Get everything Matthew has out on the market all
his stuff is Amazing !
However
My preferred rendition is
Paul Richard's routine
which is stunningly impactful !
White Bikes is not the same effect as
Colossal Blizzard 2.0 by Anthony Miller and Magick Balay
https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/7418
Magick has devised one of the most perfect routines
ever
he has streamlined the effect straight to the point without any complexities !
I
can't recommend it enough !
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Magick is an outstanding entertainer !
For
those interested just to clarify these are two totally different effects from each other in concept-
presentation -
and method
I Repeat !
Colossal Blizzard
Is a totally
different effect
Then White Bikes
Both Magick Balay & Paul Richards
Have
conceived two ingenious routines
That are an absolute must have
If you want
some knock out material !

White Bikes is easy to perform (the deck does virtually all the work) and, while I do most card
effects ungimmicked, this is a great addition to my magic library. A real crowd pleaser.

i received the white bikes deck about a week ago and have loved performing it so far! i actually
perform it the way it was originally made, i have not tried Matthew Johnson's version yet. i like
the original way because there are first, 2 magical moments, and finally the whole deck goes blank!!
one time, they actually thought the trick was over after their chosen card matched the prediction,
then itself changed colors! that's pretty powerful in and of itself, let alone afterwards making the
entire deck go blank. at the end i actually tell them i'm going to make the deck vanish right in
front of their eyes, i wait a second then tell them it's gone. they look at me funny until i turn
over the deck revealing everything is gone! i know i have not had it for super long but i have
performed it a lot and not one person has asked me to see the deck. if you present it correctly they
won't want to inspect the deck, they're satisfied with the piece of magic you just shared with them.
i'm also excited to try Matt Johnson's version. this is great for walk around and i highly recommend
it
