This comes with a great gaffed deck, and you'll have to do some initial set-up by writing
dates/numbers on the cards, but thereafter your deck resets easily each time you perform. The
online instructions are a well-produced video that covers a performance (3 min), explanation (13
min), alternate handlings (3 min), and credits (2 min).
There are some moves you need to
do, but they are very straight-forward and easy, and well-justified by the handling. So you won't
get caught out with them, and this is well within the reach of a beginner, because the gaffed deck
does most of the work for you, and is a very clever concept.
The way that the trick is
constructed produces a surprising revelation of your spectator's birth date on the cards they
select. The final way of displaying the cards also really emphasizes something magical, because
there's a spread of blue-backed cards, and the selected cards which have the birthdate revelation
are the only red-backed cards.
If you like gaff decks that offer something personal with a
fun presentation, and while remaining easy to do, this definitely hits the mark.
