Magic Tricks

Ok. I now know it is the same as Bob King's New Wave Prediction. Had I known what went down I never would have bought it.

But, all that aside, this is one of the best Brainwave tricks I have ever seen! (The best being an idea by Dani Daortiz where no sleight of hand is involved nor gimmicked deck and you do not touch the deck prior to the trick. Another involves showing the card vanished then reappears face up. And my personal favorite is Improved Ultimate Brainwave by Bob Solari.) NONE of the others make it so that you nor anyone other than the one spectator know the thought of card. In all other versions I have seen, they have to select or at least tell you the card. Yes, in RED, there is a procedure where they have to discard the number of cards that corresponds to the value of there card but it seriously is no big deal when presented. Think about it, they are the only ones who know the card, you have got to have a backup somehow to be sure everyone else is on the same page at the end.

I would take away some stars because of the drama. But I am rating a trick, not judging a magician or criticizing for what happened. I also want to review this as Bob King's trick as well so I am reviewing the effect itself, which is about as good as you can get. Sure it is a gimmicked deck. But it is handled and presented in a way that no one will ever suspect the deck is gimmicked. And it is a fantastic way to reveal a card that seriously was ONLY thought of by the spectator.
