This is strictly a card manipulation effect, which I really don't care for. There's absolutely no
involvement on the part of the spectator, and I tend not to like those kinds of effects either.
Technically, this is not for a beginner. There are displays which are not common, you have
to hold multiple breaks, lots of handling of doubles, etc. Also, about 1/3 of the whole video is
devoted to a flip flourish, which is totally unnecessary, and not especially easy, given how fumbly
Oz was with it.
The worst part about this effect is that after showing the spectator an
"amazing" transformation, the cards aren't examinable. Like I said, this isn't "card magic", it's
"card manipulation". But if that's your thing, you might enjoy this.

This is a classic transposition but Oz's take on it is great. It involves a few different moves that
you'll likely use for a whole lot of other tricks too. This trick is very easy to do so it is great
for beginners. The only problem is that it is not impromptu so it can't be done with a borrowed
deck. But who cares? You're the magician so you have a deck. Just set it up and you can use this
trick whenever. You can even use the deck as a regular deck and no one is going to notice.

I found this effect to be really beneficial. It's not super sleight heavy and I learned some really
cool ideas from it. I usually don't like the instant downloads from here (no offense). But this was
cool. Not only was it original, but also really interesting. I liked the fairness. It completely
fooled everybody I have ever performed it for. I suggest buying it if you have a few bucks to spare.

Another well crafted plot by Oz Pearlman with multiple punchlines. The pacing is great and the
punches come at a good pace to leave the audience speechless. The teaching is flawless and the
method is very approachable. Definitely not one to show to those that have drunk too much - I was
called a "cheater" and a "trick-er" by a drunk man at one gig. The great thing about this is that it
will fool the sober people too :) buy now.

When I first watched the performance of delirium, I just had to have it.[It was visual, and not that
long of a trick which I like].When I watched the instruction video I was amazed by how easy this was
to perform. I did it to my parents and they flipped.

Another decent/mediocre card trick! Easy sleight of hand. For beginning magicians, this will be in
your repertoire....until you become better. This'll get a few wows and puzzled faces, though nothing
that you were really hoping for.

I bought this effect ages ago, and after watching the instructional video thought it was too
complex. Like a total wuss, I gave up and left it. I then started to learn card magic more via BTP
and various others, and went back to this the other day. It is so awesome!! It isn't really for
beginners as you need to feel comfortable with cards already. The fact that the deck is slightly
set up, if you can already do amazing tricks without setup then the spectators won't want to see the
deck as they may think it was just some sleight of hand.
There are ways of making this
trick simpler and also look more effective, which you will find in the forums. Do not be put off by
the little flip over flourish that Oz does at the beginning of the demo. You don't have to do that.
There is also a way to do this where the spectator "chooses" the card rather than the magician.
This is also in the forum.
There are 2 main moves needed in this which need to be
accomplished in order to make this effect work perfect. The first is a basic one, but if you are a
beginner, you may not know how to do it.
Anyway, this gets thumbs up. I love it!
Displaying the face down queen in amongst the deuces at the end is hard but well worth the practice.

Not worth the complicated effort even for an established card magician. More moves than a belly
dancer.
