This is a very nice and quick bit of visual magic. This is a great alternative (at a fraction of the
cost) to the fabulous Destiny Deck (available elsewhere). There are a few trade-offs to be had with
this version, but it's definitely worth a look if you like the effect. Personally, I think both
options have their pros and cons and have similar reactions.
The instruction is very well
done with good use of an over-the-shoulder camera angle. All the pertinent moves and sleights are
covered and none are particularly knuckle-busting. He also provides some alternate presentations to
round out the teaching.
I found myself using the first alternate presentation (which he
describes, aptly, as "bold") more often with greater success and response.
Pros:
- Uses
any regular deck
- Visual
- Instant reset
- Good Use of Over-the-Shoulder camera for
instruction
- Cost
Cons:
- Second phase is not as "impossible" as the Destiny Deck
