Wow! Just got my Ultimate Brainwave deck today. I can't say enough good things about it. I remember buying my first brainwave deck as a kid. I still have it, and took it out today. Not only is it hard to perform, but there's too much memory work and there's obviously not 52 cards in the deck. It sucks.

This deck has fixed all the issues. It works every time. Worth the price for sure. I will probably order another one just so I always have one with me.

I haven't performed with a Brainwave deck since I was a kid, but they've truly upgraded this with the technical changes made. The handling however must be fully adhered to, or the cards could potentially 'split' which is obviously not desirable. But if you follow their advice about applying more pressure when spreading (and keeping your fingers near the BOTTOM while doing so) it works reliably 100% of the time. Lastly, they should have made this with Penguin's Elite decks because I made an 'Elite' spare, and it handled 100x better than the deck supplied. So, my hand-made Penguin version is actually the one that I'll be taking to gigs. JT, my advice is to either sell your idea to Penguin or switch to Elite decks! - Highly recommended.
