Magic Tricks

The good:
The gimmick deck stands up very well to scrutiny. I did this to some spectators 4 times and they still couldn't spot any problems.
The reactions really are over the top when you hit their card and even more so when they cut to it themselves.

The deck will wear out eventually and I suspect that it will get harder to perform over time. You should be able to get hundreds, maybe thousands of performances out of this before that happens however.

The problems:
There is a step left out of the video. You can perform it as the video shows it however. You just need to know how to handle your outs if you miss. In order to hit 100% you either need to re-cut or you need to have them cut instead or you have to get them to answer your questions honestly. People like to try and lie to the magician.

I suspect the best solution lies in patter and presentation. I'm not convinced the currently presented patter is the best available because I've had very mixed results using it. This is the only reason I took away 1 star.

I dislike using gimmicked decks. It's just a personal preference. This trick is super fun to perform though! You'll completely fry audience and magician alike when using this if you hit their card.

Alternatives:
There is a completely alternative routine the creators have come up with that can be performed for an audience with this deck. It's fantastic. Unfortunately I'm almost never performing for more than 6 people at a time.

I believe that magicians will come up with future presentations that will effectively utilize this deck in other ways and they will b similarly devastating.

Conclusion:
This deck is very creative and deceptive. 4/5 stars for routine and patter. Not sure how to incorporate it into a routine yet since it may require a deck change. I love it. I love the reactions. Needs some fine tuning to be perfection. Great job Wayne and David!
