There are several advantages of this over a normal tossed out deck.
1) It is not another
card trick
2) Easy kicker ending
3) enables a longer, humorous patter
4)
Easy to do
There is one issue I have with it - you have to write the cities down on the
tickets.

This is a horrible feeling! I am very upset! So, why 5 stars? Because I mean “horrible” and
“upset” in the best possible way. I pride myself on my ability to put my own spin on commercial
magic and really make it my own.
Chris Funk has made this VERY difficult for me, because he
has already done it by creating IMO the best versions of these effects. I'm very angry with him!
With both GPS 2.0 and $1 Mystery, he has packaged complete routines that are very difficult to
make changes to and are way too easy to just put right into my show! I almost never just add 2
routines into my parlor show at a time. Now, a chunk of Chris's act has become my act, gosh darn
it! I was sold on the effects from the promo vids. I was sold by the humor he planted into the
routines, which was right up my alley... obviously... Also, they are so SIMPLE to perform and they
get GREAT reactions!
To make things worse, I just received Executive Clip which will be a
perfect addition to $1 Mystery. I did build a simple stand for the clip to be displayed on my
table, to make myself feel better. At least I contributed something...
Shame on you Chris for
doing all the work on these routines and providing me with several new minutes of quality
entertainment that went directly into my show! Shame on you! To get you back, I'm submitting this
mean review on both GPS 2.0 and $1 Mystery. I may even post it on Executive Clip.

Top notch alternative to the Tossed Out Deck. I have performed the Tossed Out Deck for years, and
the audience loves it, but I use GPS 2.0 when I’m asked to perform for the same audience later on.
I will start performing this version more often, because it is so fun to do.
Please note that it does require more practice than most T.O.D. routines, because the volunteer
interaction is extensive, but it’s not hard to learn with some staging and rehearsal time.
Buy it, practice, and enjoy! You’re audience will thank you.

If you do magic for audiences, then this is worth getting. It's easy to do and plays well. It won't
be right for those who just want strolling magic or close-up with a handful of people. It requires
at least a small audience to really work. If that's your gig, then definitely consider it. There are
no difficult moves and it's definitely a fun piece.

This is a great routine! Tossed out deck without playing cards. It’s also nice because there is no
‘long & short’ either. Very smooth and simple. Ive changed some of the scripting to fit my style of
course, but it works great in the mentalist style show. Chris did a great job creating this project
and it will always be on standby for me, when i have the right crowd.

This is a tossed out deck without using cards. The switch is fine. I don't bring anyone on stage so
I use the invisible switch by Matt Fore. The best part about this routine is that you tell the
audience that you travel and reinforce it with the luggage tags. The routine is an advertisement to
the audience to hire you without stopping the show with an advertisement about hiring you.

Chris Funk is becoming one of my favorite magicians in the world and this product is amazing. His
creativity and thought into each word and move shows the work he put in. The teaching is top notch
and thank you Chris for sharing this. If your on the fence just buy it. You will love performing
this!!!!

I'm in a tourism course and i'd was trying to find a trick that fits the theme and this is so good
as it takes a break of playing card effects and swaps it to a more calm thing, love it so much.

It's a WINNER! Tried it for the first-time last night in Austin and it was a HIT! Looking forward to
using it again tonight and for the rest of the week.
