The twist on this version of Triumph is the final reveal, in which the deck is shown to be in new
deck order. In my opinion, this is not a well thought-out addition to the effect, because as soon
as you show the deck in perfect order, you've basically just announced to the spectator that every
shuffle they saw was a false shuffle. Why would you want to do this?
Now, it's possible
that a spectator may assume "false shuffle" anyway, but the illusion of the changing orientation of
the cards is an extra layer of confusion. The final reveal weakens the entire effect by confirming
to the spectator that the handling they'd been watching clearly wasn't "real".
You could
just do this effect without this reveal, but there are so many versions and variations of Triumph
out there, you can find plenty that are less technically demanding than this one. This isn't a
knuckle-buster, but clearly not at all suitable for beginners.

This is a great routine. I didn't buy the download I bought oz's Triumph DVD. I recomend getting the
DVD if you really like the Triumph routines.

It's a strong effect, but it requires a false shuffle. I'd suggest learning it though. Having such a
move under your belt is priceless. This effect does take quite a bit of practice, but it's
definitely worth it. Do yourself a favor and add this one to your cart right now.

better already know some hard sleight of hand card moves (not explained), to work this trick, to
much going on for a "IS THIS YOUR CARD TRICK," alot better ones out there. wasted time and money
for me.
The move used this this trick is absolutely genius. Unlike other triumph routines, this one is
amazing because you clearly riffle shuffle the cards face up into face down. You can even spread
them out and show them if you want, but it's probably better you didn't. You don't want to sell it
that much. The move you need to learn will take a fair amount of practice before you get it right,
but once you do, it will look so natural that no one will ever catch it. Especially if your
presentation is great too. Pick this up and you'll be glad you did.
This trick will floor people. It is truly a miracle. With that said, one of the sleights is
extremely difficult. I worked on it for months and still couldn't do it perfectly 100% of the time.
The few times I have done this, it has absolutely killed. It is definitely one of the best triumph
tricks out there. Do not get this unless you are willing to put in the time that it deserves. As
always, Oz does a great job teaching. If you want a great triumph routine that's a lot easier, then
get Triumph by Oz instead.
I love this effect for the reason that it is a very awesome effect and uses many sleights. This
effect is not easy but if you take the time to practice it, you have a gem on your hands. There are
many useful sleights that you learn. The riffle shuffle you learn is awesome, this itself is worth
the price of the download.
I am very happy I made this purchase spectators love this effect and
if you go to conventions showing this effect to magicians you will stand out.
He goes over every
little detail on the effect, and does not leave anything out.
I would reccommend this to any
serious card worker.
This is one of the first tricks I bought from penguin years ago and I still use the mechanics all
the time. This packs a great punch to anyone you perform to and works for all types of magicians.
Takes a little while to get the mechanics down but once you get them down you will use it
forever!Great buy!
In a world of apparent chaos, we as magicians can create order, along with, and through magic. This
is the version of triumph I perform when I'm setup. It's seemingly impossible plot of magician in
trouble makes it now only super amazing, but also an instant classic. With purchase you get two
downloads. Throughout each one you learn amazing sleights that you will use throughout your magic
career. Either video is worth the price of admission so you really get your money's worth. What are
you waiting for? Add to card, and checkout!
I love triumph effects and for a long time I was looking for one with a kicker finish, Emerge
Triumphant has the kicker!
It's not an easy trick but it is a great trick so I think the
amount of practise required was worth it!
As always Oz teaches the handling clearly and
thoroughly.
