Let me explain the problem with this trick. Imagine this: You're performing for some spectators, and
you decide to try out this cool new trick deck with a stick figure drawn on it that you just got.
You perform Card-Toon 2 and get great reactions. It instantly resets, so when the spectators ask to
see it again, you go again. That's when the trouble starts. It's performed once again, getting the
same great, if not better reactions. Then they ask you to perform it again. You want to move on with
your show, so you say no. They don't let you. They demand you perform this again. Afraid of being
attacked by an angry mob demanding to see 'Bob', you perform it one more time. They still ask to see
it again, and again, and again.
Now do you see the problem? This trick is so good, the
spectators just won't want to see anything else. As a performer, you spend months working on
difficult sleight of hand and deep presentations, and this practically self-working trick is all
that your audience wants to see. Yes, it's that good.
Now on to the technical aspects of
the trick:
Quality: 10/10 The deck is well made. It is not Bicycle, but that shouldn't be a
problem (for those purists who say 'it looks like a trick deck unless it's Bicycle' I say to you
THERE'S A STICK FIGURE DRAWN ON IT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! OF COURSE IT'S A TRICK DECK!). This will
last you a long time, especially since the cards aren't meant to take too much abuse during the
trick, but in the end, it's still a deck of cards and will need to be replaced eventually.
Difficulty: 2/10 The only sleights are a pinky count and a DL (although the DL is automatically
set up in the context of the trick, making it easier).
Resetability (yes, I just invented a
word): Easy reset done in front of the audience.
Inspectability: Not able to be inspected,
but never been a problem with me. Just takes a bit of audience management.
One last thing
before I say BUY IT NOW (if you're into close-up, which is the only venue for this. It's too small
for anything bigger than 10 people at most). This is one of a few tricks (and even less when it
comes to cards) that can be done with just about every age group. I have done this with adults as
well as kids aged 7-8.
BUY IT NOW!!!
You will never perform another trick.
