Oz Pearlman has really found a new twist on this well known devastating effect. It's not just a new
method, the effect is altered in a positive way (deeper impossibility)
Personally, the
presentation chosen by Oz doesn't appeal to me. Differentiating between effects and their
showmanship is a great way to find great tricks and (feel that we are...) doing them better.
Oz is selling us a trick where there is still a lot of potential but his approach opens new
roads.
For the ones who do cards without parroting this or that magician, we cannot afford
at one time or the other not to consider Al Leech's Hot Card Trick (the original name of the Red Hot
Mama/ Chicago Opener effect) and, when we get there, we cannot afford to refuse exploring Oz's
avenue.
Just buy it early on: it's cheaper than a glass of beer at the counter: you can
afford it money wise but you cannot afford to ignore it magic wise.
