I am not much of a card guy, but it is usually expected to be able to perform a few great card
effects. This is effect is straightforward and stunning. The handling of the cards will require
practice and confidence, but there is nothing hard or complicated about it. It is well thought out
and well taught from the video. It is easy to make and will not take a long time or require anything
special to have to purchase. The pay-off is astonishing.
I recommend a time delay after
the cards are put back in the case. Leave them in plain view and do some some other effect (I do a
color changing knife routine with a regular knife changing into a larger knife climax) I use the
larger knife to stab the deck and produce the signed card. Closer.
Downside - you destroy a
card box (and the signed card) each time you perform, so you may want to shop around to find some
quantities of card boxes. Make up a red deck and a blue deck to give you more options.
You
need a fairly sharp knife. Use what fits your style. I prefer a folding pocket knife that matches my
color changing knife set.
This may not play for a kids show, but for closing a stand-up
routine it is very visual and can play funny or dramatic.
One of the best purchases I've
made all year.
When I first received my DECK STAB, I was a bit put off that the package just contained 10 empty
bicycle boxes which needed to be partially constructed and nothing else. After watching the
excellent instructional video, I can say without a doubt, THIS IS THE BEST CARD STAB EVER!!
The
creator, Adrian Vega explains in detail, all the subtlties and handling of the deck, which you will
construct very easily from a normal deck of cards, and once you have done this...about 10 minutes
with a pair of scissors only, you will be set to repeat this wonderful classic over and over. The
box is the only thing which gets destroyed each performance, oh, and the one selection, which is
signed.
If you want a fantastic version of this classic card effect, this is it!
Ok I gave this a three star on my first review. After performing it for a crowd of only five, by the
way I KOd them when the only stabbed card to come out the box was the signed one. I recommend this
but don't waste too many boxes on practicing. It hits hard. Can't wait to perform it at a show!
It's Construction time but I must say it's a very easy construction. You must supply your own deck
and they supply six new rider back boxes. To complete your Gimmick deck you will need to spend like
three seconds altering 52 cards... That's three seconds per card. That's the only reason that I give
this a three 🌟. If you perform it frequently you will need to buy more empty boxes, or just a new
deck per performance. Remember we really are buying the secret sometime and not a gimmick. In this
case you are buying the secret and must make the deck gimmickede.
This truly works, I learned in his conference. I have tried in many shows and is a very good effect.
Highly recommended
