The deck is expensive but worth every penny. I tried it out with my magic group and they were flummoxed. I left the room, they examined the deck, shuffled it, turned one card face up, buried it, and squared up the deck. I came back into the room, never touched the deck, and simply made a few mystical passes with a Tarot card, which I used to hide the gimmick. The read was quick, less than one second, and I knew the color, suit, and value of the selected card. There was a lot of head scratching and wild and silly theorizing (e.g., a hidden video camera so I could watch from the next room, stooge, cards marked on the back or face, etc.). There is a slight angle and lighting problem but every trick has a downside and any half way decent magician will instantly figure out a dozen ways to hide the gimmick. The upside is that even a room full of magicians couldn't figure it out. Highly recommended but please do not use it in my neck of the woods; I want to be the only one who has it.

This is so well made you cannot figure it out by looking. The method is good and works 100% of the time. The cards can be used for any other effects you do with cards as well.

Only 4 stars as there is drawback. Cannot mention it without giving the effect away, but concealing this one part is something that will take planning. The lighting and angles will need to be considered.
