I've enjoyed the cheek to cheek deck for a while now, but have never incorporated it into a Triumph
routine. I used it previously as a baffling card locator, much like Jay used in the preview for just
the basic cheek to cheek deck. When I saw Oz has put out a DVD dedicated to this powerful deck, I
didn't hesitate to order. I got it this afternoon and have watched it twice through. So, here is my
review.
Quality: 5/5
Penguin branded quality is always top notch. I have no complaints
with the filming of this project whatsoever. You can see the correct angles and handlings with no
problems.
Explanation: 5/5
Oz is a phenomenal teacher, who covers areas of the cheek to
cheek deck that I didn't know existed. I mastered the basic handling in minutes and now use a hybrid
version of both the basic and advanced handling that kicks! Oz covers the every nuance of the
Triumph routines as well as two bonus routines that could be small stand alone effects by
themselves, let a lone as openers to your Cheek to Cheek:Triumph Routine.
Difficulty: 1/5
It doesn't get much easier than this. It's a self-working deck, and Oz's handlings simplify
everything even more. You can perform the most visual version of Triumph I've ever seen without much
practice, especially if you're experienced. This is a great tool for the magician and a fun trick
for someone that just wants to have some fun with people he or she works with.
Overall: 5/5
This is a really cool and unique project that maximizes your use of this classic deck. The price
is perfect for the reactions and you'll look better than you are! I highly recommend Cheek to Cheek
by Oz.
