I love rick's but every once in a while, I buy something I don't like. My last bad review on one of Rick's tricks was "Ghost Clip" and I don't know if you guys have seen that review but I give the trick 2 stars and I say sorry every 2 words. But anyways, this trick does what it says it will do but I had some problems.

First thing is that the demo states that the spectator can put it in any order they want but this is not true. Not even half of the pack they can "mix up" and they are not really shuffling it, but only choosing what stack to go on the top. I was buying the trick expecting the spectator to shuffle the cards with an riffle shuffle or overhand, or even just cutting the cards! But it reality, you are just taking packets and letting the spectator choose which packet goes first-last. This is why I feel "cheated".

Another problem is that this is not really my style, and that is entirely my fault for choosing the trick but I just wanted to add that in as I warn people who like quick, visual, and easy tricks because this is not really that type of trick.

Overall, it does just about do what it says it will do (Besides the shuffling) and I'm alright with the buy, but I don't recommend it.

It's is a really old idea that is presented in a new way. Not something I would use in my personal work, but I could see others using this. Rick Lax is a great teacher and a creative mind.

I am sure it is a good trick, but the DVD is hard to follow with writing things down quick. Still working on it. I really don't have the time to figure out everything. Too complicated.

Rick Lax has put a lot of thought into this product. It is a great trick that requires nearly no sleight of hand, if at all any. He teaches both an impromptu and a set up version, but don't be afraid of that setup, it only takes like 5 seconds. The audience truly believe that you are a master card handler, and are astonished by the multiple surprises through to the end.

As stated previous this can be developed further to make less clunky. Old principal that will take confidence to carry off, but I think would work with total strangers, as long as you did not follow up with a card trick

Riffle stacking is difficult. This allows one to do a very impressive demonstration that is fun and entertaining without doing the difficult Fulves/Marlo/... stacking techniques. Also the climax is quite different than others in this genre. Highly recommended.

This is a very good trick, especially if used following several classic poker demonstration. The method is unique and creative, and fairly simple. It has many points of surprise during the routine, and has two different handlings for different scenarios. The only reason I gave it 4/5 is because, like I said, it works better as a follow-up to other poker tricks, although it can stand alone by itself. All in all, a very good effect for the money/

This is a nice version of the winning poker hand, which is fully explained and has a great ending which is different and unexpected

This effect is awesome, it requires almost no sleight of hand and is fun to perform and practice. Rick Lax is also an expert teacher and goes through everything very well. Plus you get to learn an impromptu version. This is the poker trick to get, so GET IT NOW!!!

Love this trick. Takes some practice but when you have it down you have a winner on your hands. Using this and a 10 card poker deal you can look like a gambling master
