More to It Than What's Shown Report this review

There's been many positive reviews and mine is as well, despite my 3-star rating. My reservations are in its promotion and historical content provided in the tutorial. It is a 5-star effect and will amaze and worth the cost as many of the reviews have alluded to. My issue (and the 3-star reason) is the slight deception in the demo video and the historical aspect of the '52 to 1' deck. Without giving anything away, there's more involved in what's shown and there is a question you must ask the spectator if you want to be 100% sure of where you should cut. Personally, I don't use the methods they teach & came up with my own, but that's me. I know tons of card handling. Their routine is sound and certainly not difficult and well within the reach of even beginners, so it's a great deck for any age or skill level to purchase. The historical information they provide isn't accurate because the person they mention as the forefather of this idea isn't. In fact his infamous trick was a variation of a much older one. I could say what and where to find it but I don't want to provide any hints which could tip off the method. It's a great, well-made deck, but with some slight dishonesty in its promotion. If I say John Kennedy and you know what I'm referring to, skip this purchase because you already have a deck who's method is very similar to this. If not, get this when it's available again, which I'm sure it will. Sales are too good for it not to be.
