I purchased this product at the Dallas, Texas Live Event on 10/15/2017. Nick Locapo demonstrated the routine and then explained its workings. Comes with a red Rider Back Bicycle deck of cards and a nice green box with a link to the explanation. Very nice - deck cannot be used with other card tricks not associated with Touch.

This trick is a very good one! It looks impressive and impossible. Sadly no intimate inspection is allowed on the deck. So pros:
-great trick and presentation

Cons:
-They shouldn't hold the deck
-and you have to bring an extra deck around just for this trick

I saw Nick perform this effect at Magic Live in August, and it didn't blow me away at first. Right after he performed it for me, he did it for another spectator while I was standing by. After seeing it done a second time, I bought it immediately.

Touch is very easy to perform, and has served me very well since I purchased it. It now has a special place in my kit, and I perform it all the time.

The final move takes a bit if finesse, but well within the skill set of anyone. Positive reviews are well deserved on this one. Get it!

I admit that i do NOT have the deck yet but did go through the video.
I'm a 'seasoned' Magician and have experienced a lot of magic in my 15 years of being semi-pro so let's go with that ok? ;)

First this is from Paul Curry. THAT should be a reason to buy.

Second, Nick does a GREAT job explaining this.
He really does a fantastic job of showing you the handling and performing with lots of goodies thrown in.

Clear video and audio (Good job av guys.) And this is SO important when you make a purchase. Penguin has the best AV guys.

This is an excellent routine. Easy and visual.
I'm familiar with "the move" and it's pretty easy so pros and rookies alike will Love this.
This can so enhance my close up routines.

SO Excited.

Paul Curry is most famous for effects like "Out of This World", "The Open Prediction", and "The Sliding Knot", all of which may be found in his book, "Worlds Beyond". "Touch" is another effect included in the aforementioned tome. A brilliantly simple method, (as many of his creations were) and, like all of his creations, the impact of the effect far outweighs the method, allowing for concentration on presentation.
Nick Locapo, in this product marketed by Penguin Magic, provides not only Curry's original method, but several other variations and methods, true to the original concept and method. In essence, you receive at least three more effects for the price you're paying for one!
In his usual succinct manner of presentation, Nick simplifies everything for us, explaining in detail the effects, methods, and variations on the original, basic effect. His presentation of the various effects in "real world" circumstances (ie-an actual audience of two lay-persons) are both intriguing and entertaining. Even the preparation of the marker is included, which I've found to be superior to other methods...thanks for that, Nick!
Besides the trademark Penguin Magic crystal-clear video and audio, specific information is provided on what else needs to be bought in order to make up the other effects, although the supplied deck is more than sufficient to accomplish one of the effects. A minimal amount of work must be done on the supplied deck, but no doubt the purchaser will appreciate that because of this, they're given a choice of presentation.
All-in-all, highly recommended and great value for your dollar! I have made up three versions of "Touch", and have begun to use one version in my close-up, walkaround act, as well as another version for stage involving two glass goblets!
Thank-you Penguin Magic, the late Paul Curry, and Nick Locapo for this mental masterpiece!

TOUCH,,,,,well, This gets a 3/5 out of the gimmicked decks I have recently received in the recent months and in the past. I am a loyal, frequent PM customer and a friend of Nick, however I will always be honest with my constructive criticism.

Everything is very well taught - the very best from Nick as usual, many routines / different ways to perform the Touch deck although - the reason I give it a 3 is because of how limited you are with this deck in your hands. It is really a "One Trick" kind of deck & I was aware of that before purchasing, similar to ALPHA Deck but Alpha you can actually do completely different tricks with the deck you receive of 7 different bonus ideas, and anything you may come up with. Sure the TOUCH deck may give you ideas to create your own tricks with this deck but I am stumped ! To me, *writing out a prediction* and then basically having someone name a card and then you reveal it on the back of the joker - the trick is one of those kinda things that even Nick says, "dont do this more than once / again" as people will catch on.

This is something that unfortunately will be going on the shelves. I think it is a fine, brilliantly limited form of creativity in this deck - regardless, I don't like being so limited to only ONE trick so fast with one deck having to deck switch. I wish they would have waited and thought of ways to enhance Paul's original idea to make this have more to do with the deck. If i come up with more ideas of how to make this play out longer or something that isn't so short and then the deck needs to be cleaned up then I will be using this all the time. Until then, Thank you Penguin and Nick for this special release, one of a kind deck for sure but just make sure before you buy this that you are willing to deck switch or be okay with using this for one trick. One trick gimmicked decks typically don't last long in the trend/ making of the production of the decks, pick up yours today before they are gone if you support PM and like Nick's teaching he covers all bases does an excellent job with it all.

Nick showed me this at Genii this year and as much as I didn't want to admit, it totally fooled me. The download covers several variations on how to perform this effect, and as always Nick's teaching is superb! What's great is once you perform the effect, it resets. So for the table hopping magician, like myself, this will go straight into your set! Highly recommended
