Omen.... What to say, well its awesome plain and simple. Although, I wouldn't say this was my favorite release, (yes i do own Omen as an avid Alakazam community member) but I do absolutley love it & think it is completely original, unique one that a magician and a mentalist of all learning levels would enjoy. Chris created a monster effect of a way to start out your conversation with someone by asking if they know what a magician would do to get your card and if they know what a mentalist would do to guess your card, so that alone has been amazing to start out with that patter and action you are performing.

You get a special deck of course, You might need to have some other things / utilities that i am sure most of you magicians and mentalists will have access to, every day items but something us artists would have that way you can reveal the ending if you saw the trailer, Dave had a prediction in an envelope. So you may need to supply some form of those or other things that would be even better once you get to watch the instructional DVD.

I am very grateful to own Omen and it has played out MUCH stronger then i thought. This gets a SOLID 4 out of 5 in Alakazam's work, as they continue to only release the best and the boldest. No toys from Alakazam, only The things you will keep in the front of your case. I will continue using it as much as I can, have had it for a couple months now and since blackpool this release that is now set to come out I would HIGHLY recommend you place a Pre Order if you are interested because this will sell out. Chris, Alakazam & the whole crew have something real neat that is different from anything that I can see that has been out in the past 5 months to a couple years. The method is solid, easy to remember, no memory work, a true masterpiece using many things and methods / principles that are some of the strongest in magic/ mentalism.

Pre order now!!!

As mentioned an inning and one more 3 and 0 - can end this routine very clean with very specific tools in a magicians arsenal (not included I suspect). I keep coming back to this effect, ready to commit, but I am also sure I know exactly how this works, and as much as I feel a magician deserves to be compensated for their creations. I would rather donate to the bottom line than spend $40 on another trick deck I can either create or may already have to some degree. For me the final selling point is I need to know how clean is the cut to the chosen card? Has this been worked differently with this deck. I have several routines requiring the spectator to cut. It's always been far to hit and miss to me. If this is worked out to the nth degree with this deck. I am ready to buy now. Thank you for any feedback you can provide.
