This is probably one of the coolest tricks I own! It's very practical, very easy, and looks like
trick photography. Trust me, you'll fool yourself doing this, it looks so cool! The amazing part is
that once you do this, you can take the deck back out of the card box, and the deck is completely
clean and you're free to do any other trick you want. Everytime I perform this trick the spectators
always freak out, it gets great reactions! Highly recommended! Add this to your cart today!!

I think the best way to describe this trick is the word JM says in this dvd about a million times:
Freedom.
You can do this at almost anytime, and there is NO reset what so ever. There are so
many possibilities with Freedom Pack that are not covered on this well produced dvd.
This will
be going straight into my act as my AC finale.
The teaching is first class, Justin's humor was
great (Acorns), and the dvd was fun to watch. Overall, this dvd has only 2 negatives:
Case is
not examinable (Justin teaches you how to get by this)
Comes with red mandolin deck (I'm
switching to 809, but you can always make the gimmick [JM also teaches you how to do this])
Well
done Paul Harris and Justin Miller!

Justin Miller keeps going on about the amazing amount of freedom you have with the freedom pack. I
understand its his selling point but its very contradictory to the reality. Maybe thats why he keeps
repeating it so often as to keep your focus away form the limiting properties of this trick. If
there's anything the gimmick does, it is limiting your freedom with the cards. People HAVE to sign
the card for there to be enough misdirection, which I dont like. The weird thing is, is that the
bonus effect is 100 times better than the original "freedom pack" it sort of gives you a solution to
the "let me see that*** problem" plus the effect is so much stronger.
Still, its limiting,
not liberating. So three stars for me.
I dont regret buying it though, I am going to use,
on occasion.

I have no words to describe how f*cking amazing this trick is in terms of methology,visuality and
practicalness.

All i can say about this effect is WOW!!!!! I've been doing magic for 8 years now, and this is one
of the best card to box routines ever! JM has really created something wonderful, the execution is
crazy easy and the pay off is super visual.The bonus effect alone is worth more than the price of
the dvd, if your really serious about your magic and are looking to get more creative with your
routines get this now!!!

I bought this a couple years back, the effect itself is pure gold, the bonus effect is insanely
good. The teaching and video quality is outstanding, Justin teaches you to make the gimmick
besides you getting one as well. This is what people want to see when you people say you do magic.
You can force cards and combined with other effects, you have what Justin lines to call "unfair"
magic, because what you're doing to your audience is unfair. This is a true worker fir any pro.
Walk around, table hopping, stage, this will get reactions.
If you liked Michael Ammar's 'Card to Cardcase' as performed by DC in his tv special, then you will
like this too.
I think it may even be better since this is not as angle sensitive and the
cards feel looser until the card case wraps itself around the cards again.
Check out the bonus trick "Brainfreeze". This is one of the greatest card tricks ever invented. You
can then put your Brainwave deck in the drawer.

It's ok. I could do it in five minutes. It's not all it's cracked up to be when it comes to
"freedom." You almost can't do it if you are sitting at a table with friends unless you have a
jacket in which to ditch. But it's good. I won't do this much in a walk around setting, but it will
be great in a show setting. The bonus effect is freaking money.
