This is a great, great effect and one that spectators will remember. Plus, all things considered, it
is pretty practical. Get all the motions and the moves down and all you have to do is carry one of
these in your pocket and you are READY to go with ANY Deck, ANYWHERE at ANYTIME.
This is
also one of the best prices you will find anywhere; really cheap all things considered being almost
12 dollars. These things however ARE quality; the edges REALLY look similar to a pack of cards and
this thing really sells the effect for you.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this effect, and it
will last you a lifetime. As far as difficulty goes, it takes confidence, not skill. You work on
this for a while; the mechanics aren't hard. But really having the confidence to do this in front of
a live audience is what matters.
Highly recommended!

So, I use this as a closer to my "blue deck vanishes" set. I don't really use ambitious card
routine, but you may be able to use it for that, it would make a fantastic closer. You can see how I
use it in my review of SOLO by Mark Mason. Also I highly recommend the Shawn Farquhar Penguin
Lecture, the whole lecture is great, and he teaches a fantastic deck switch, which he shows with
the omni deck, especially if you wear a sport coat or jacket. Before I had The Cooler (and I plan on
getting Cold Case, hope that will be amazing), I used his deck switch with pants and it worked okay.
I just use The Cooler because it fits my style a little better.
Thank you Mr.Farquhar for
the deck and everything else!

For those of you wondering, it is the new omni deck produced by Shawn Farquhar (who bought the
rights from Bill Palmer)
quality is really good. Definitely something that will last you a
long time.
This single prop will compliment your ambitious card routine, should you not
already have a finale.
However, there are other epic routines out there also utilising the
omni deck, e.g. OMNI PRESENTITHWICH by James Brown(Professional Opportunist Vol 1) and
CTRL+ALT+DELETE by Bill Abbott (Coctail Card Magic) just to name a few.

This is a nice block and the trick plays well. Luckily, I have a friend that performs this and he
was able to "fill in the blank" for me. Somehow the instructions I received start with an
explanation of one of the steps, then suddenly before ending the explanation, and when I go to the
top of the next page, it just moves on to the next step. I'm not sure if it just missed the last
line when it got printed or what. But I contacted live chat, told them, and to ask what the end of
that step said to do, and was asked to "take a picture" and email it to them, which I did, and was
told they would get back to me and for sure they would take care of the small problem for me.
Evidently they decided it wasn't worth any further response because that was the last I heard from
them. That was a couple of weeks ago. So, if you buy this trick, and you happen to get a set of
instructions that appear to have a small spot of an explanation to one of the steps
missing....you're on your own.

It's a nice little deck. I do quite like it! Gotta learn a deck switch though.

Beautifully crafted. Always receive great reactions.

Quality is really nice. The only problem is that it is slightly thinner than the 52-card deck but I
did not meet a spectator who noticed this until now ...

This effect, when done properly, will serve as a brilliant finisher to an ambitious card routine.
This will get fantastic reactions from those you perform to. Worth getting.

Wow! at first I was kind of unsure about this one, but it is now among my favorites! It is amazing
enough to have an ambitious card jump to the top of the deck, but to have the entire deck turn into
a hunk of glass!? that is an INSANE feat! Very impressed. Just make sure you use a handkerchief
to reveal the glass =). Buy it! for 10 bucks it is SOOOO worth it!

This is an excellent effect. I use it at to end my ACR. Huge reactions everytime. Like the title
said, this is the trick I saw that made me want to learn magic. It's excellent!
