Magic Tricks

The first two reviews on this trick inspired me to write my own. People must expect real magic when they buy tricks because I can not believe how this trick is not getting awesome reviews. Ignore the first two comments.

This trick is awesome. It is simple to do, pure in effect, direct, and for the most part able to be examined. I say that with a grain of salt because if they actually examine the deck closely they will see something but the cards themselves are not gimmicked, meaning not specially printed.

I also own Knock em Dead 2. I also own Inexplicable. BOTH have the envelope or reveal heavily gimmicked and finicky. This is direct. ONE envelope and you can show the entire face of the card! They can even see for themselves it is empty once the prediction is removed. NEITHER of the others offer that. Yes the setup is the same. Yes there are four outs but two of them are just finding the mate of the chosen card. Sure not as powerful but still great!

The cons? You can not turn the prediction card over. BIG DEAL! You can not let the spectator closely examine the deck. WHO DOES THIS ANYWAY? You CAN spread to show a shuffled deck though so do not fear that. I would even feel comfortable letting them handle the envelope. Just take it back to do the reveal, show it empty and the trick is done. Four outcomes, two of which are only slightly less impressive.

The pros: One deck, ONE envelope, can be done with a REGULAR deck with no added cards. Has an ACAAN handling where instead of dealing they name a number then deal to that. Spectator can handle the cards and even insert their finger inside the envelope to prove it is empty. The envelope is made of a special plastic so will last a LONG time. Cleverly gimmicked envelope holds two cards yet appears to only hold one. I could go on.

So yes there are four possible outcomes but the effect to laypeople is AMAZING! This is as fair as it gets. BUY IT!
