> Chaos by Brad Addams

Easy but a little misleading Report this review

If you're looking to do this type of effect, you would be very hard pressed to find an easier method than this. I would say a lot of magicians already have a deck of this type in their bag, but you've probably never figured on using it like this. As a matter of fact, I sincerely doubt you'll need the DVD when you open the deck and see what you've got. That being said, although the effect says instant reset, what it doesn't tell you is that this can't be repeated for the same group. Make it a closer if you like, but you'll also need to work in a deck switch. While they say you can do most of your other card tricks with the same deck, there's no way you can do more than one or two different effects (and those are limited) without causing a potential problem with this layout. You'll need to be good at controlling the deck and have a good false shuffle ready.

As I said, if you're looking to do this type of effect with very little practice and no worry of failure, you can't beat this effect. I wanted something easy and I'm not disappointed. The deck is indeed useful for another effect if you don't want to close with Chaos, but you can't decide later you want to close with it with the same crowd. Also, the card can't be signed (unless you're really good, and if you're that good you can just use a regular deck to do the trick and skip this one).
