After watching the trailer for this, I was hooked!
Perform a deck switch without touching
the deck! In front of your spectators!
How could I not want this?!
What I got was
a baffling collection of gimmicks and a criminally short tutorial video. I'm not sure what they were
smoking over at Murphy's but it definitely messed with their heads, because nobody in their right
mind would release this.
In the trailer, he asks the spectator who signed their card if
they chose the Joker. I thought that this was a throwaway part of the act, but there is a reason why
he does that. In the trailer, it also says that you can perform this surrounded. This is technically
correct, if you want to get caught. You obviously have to cover up what you're doing and there's no
way that you could do this surrounded.
The setup required is absolutely mind boggling. The
gimmick itself looks terrible compared to any card case and anyone with eyes will be able to tell
that something's up.
I could go on and on about this, but I'd give too much away regarding
the actual method. What I will say is this: The effect of performing a deck switch without touching
the deck is a truly great idea, but this is so poorly conceived that you may as well just tell the
spectator what you're doing. You're much better off saving your money.
Wow!
