I Feel "Cheated" (Pun Intended) Report this review

I love rick's but every once in a while, I buy something I don't like. My last bad review on one of Rick's tricks was "Ghost Clip" and I don't know if you guys have seen that review but I give the trick 2 stars and I say sorry every 2 words. But anyways, this trick does what it says it will do but I had some problems.

First thing is that the demo states that the spectator can put it in any order they want but this is not true. Not even half of the pack they can "mix up" and they are not really shuffling it, but only choosing what stack to go on the top. I was buying the trick expecting the spectator to shuffle the cards with an riffle shuffle or overhand, or even just cutting the cards! But it reality, you are just taking packets and letting the spectator choose which packet goes first-last. This is why I feel "cheated".

Another problem is that this is not really my style, and that is entirely my fault for choosing the trick but I just wanted to add that in as I warn people who like quick, visual, and easy tricks because this is not really that type of trick.

Overall, it does just about do what it says it will do (Besides the shuffling) and I'm alright with the buy, but I don't recommend it.
