After watching this trick performed on the website, I bought it right away. It looked to good to be
true, and I have to say that as soon as I opened the deck, it was apparent that it was heavily
gimmicked. I completely disagree with the reviews that say that it doesn't look gimmicked at all,
but I've been doing magic for years, so I also know what to look for.
For starters, it's
not a Bicycle deck. It's a Phoenix deck.
Secondly, if the cards are viewed from a certain
angle, it's very apparent that there is something fishy.
As a magician WATCHING the trick,
it's amazing. But if you hand a magician this deck, I don't think they'll be impressed. I have yet
to perform it, but I won't give the deck to anyone but laymen.
Other than that, the effect
is amazing, and considering most people ARENT professional magicians, I give this 4/5 stars.
