I have NO idea what the negative reviews are about with it not being self working. It IS infact selfworking 100%. You will be able to execute this within the time you set up your deck.

Youreceive a special deck of cards and some gimmicks. DO NOT OPEN ANYTHING until you watch the videos.TRUST ME, if you follow directions this will be working perfectly in no time. This is made veryspecially and people that may be familiar with Mathieu Bich - Chaos, it kind of uses the sameproduct on the gimmicks.

I am very happy with this purchase. You get a ton of live andstudio performance videos, several explanation videos and tips, in addtion to many many bonusroutines and other ways to have this as a kicker ending but honestly I like this as is. Some peoplemight like to perform it with the other versions but you will be the judge of that.

Thevideos are on a secret coded website and is very well made, kind of like a school - lecture websitewhere you complete one video and proceed to the next. You don't have to watch them all or in order,though i do recommend it as it will help get the patter into your head and get you performing thisby the time it is set up. The spectator TRULY feels like they entirely have a completely FAIR , FREEChoice but they DONT! And that is the beauty because the kicker ending just is amazing after theythought they did. What you see is what you get, nothing but the best from Richard Sanders.

I like my 52-1 Deck the most but this is my #2 now. Less and less I find myself using theinvisible deck, however! With the ALPHA deck you can be using this similar to an invisible deckWITHOUT using the invisible deck, just the ALPHA bonus routines that teach you how to use the ALPHAdeck with an Invisible deck look alike starter or kicker ending. There is great content on here andthis is a no brainer 5/5.

One thing RS says is I don't see myself using this deck with adeck swtich. This is more of a BRAIN FRYER than a deck switch to normal cards.. I see it the same ashe does. I may use it with my cold case some time but overall - I really like the concept of howthis is made. It should last you a life time if you care for it as you use it, just like Chaos.

I hesitated for a long time on this upon the release in the U.K., because it was so shortand it was like OK... 1 card, 2 cards.. then they all go blank. What is so great? Well if you watchit one more time and listen to more of the patter and everything that goes into this effect versusthe actual actions of what is happening - this gets more reactions then you ever think possible willhappen and that is why I purchased it, & he touches on this when he made this a while ago, didn'trealize how strong it was.

I will say lastly that this DOES require audience management. Not much, but you will be needing to make them follow like it says "a Do as I Do" on steroids... Itis a simple concept, just something to always never forget. BUY THIS NOW before they are gone. Thisdeck, the 52-1 and TOUCH are the BEST decks out right now on Penguin and i couldn't give a higherrecommendation then ever. 5/5 hands down.

I don't really understand the negative reviews. Slight wise if you can cut a deck ofcards, your covered.

I can only comment on the main effect because that's what I amperforming. It's easy to do and it really goes over well with the spectators. That is the mainreason to buy a trick right the spectator reaction ;-)

Cool Trick Report this review

Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 26th, 2017

I bought this trick because they say it is self working. It isn't. I have small hands so I prefer todo self working card tricks. This is NOT self working. I think this is a really cool trick but,there should be a better description.
