Hi guys- this is a review for a particular trick from a book/dvd. Its called Heartless by Simon Lovell. I felt that this trick needed a review all on its own! Heartless stars in Simon Says and his madness behind the methods DVD set (an excellent set, by the way!)
Heartless is a very "cute" trick. You bring out a king and describe to the spectator it is a heartless killer. The king rises to the top a few times such as in an ambitious card, then you magically summon the other 3 kings along with it in EXTREMELY weird ways! At the end of the trick, the deck is heartless as well and has a huge hole cut through the entire deck! everything can be examined and you are left with 4 clean kings- so much stuff you can go to from there (i.e. Asher Twist or twisting the aces, etc...)! Simon includes an extra goodie in there called Heartlebox in which the box is also seen to have a whole through it! All I can say is this trick is amazing! to magicians and spectators alike! Its very fun and Simon gives it to you the exact way he performs it! Heartless can be found in his books Simon Says and the dvd set Methods behind the madness! There is an entire website dedicated to heartless: http://heartlessdeck.com/ You can buy a heartless deck precision made and you get a bonus routine as well! Heartless is definetly a keeper folks, you'll love it when you see it! Check it out! 10/10 Michael

Here's what people are saying:
"The ending totally shocked me - this is lateral thinking at its very best!" ~ Billy McComb "Off beat and visually stunning magic! Can you release my wife and children now?" ~ Rich Marotta "Heartless, while easy to do, has a wonderful, shocking surprise finish that surgically not only dissects a deck of cards but, more importantly, the hearts and minds of your audience leaving them totally satisfied" yet longing for more! ~ Randy Wakeman have used HEARTLESS for a good number of years behind the bars where I worked. That is where I got to know Simon personally. Now , I perform full time 5 nights a week at 4 restaurants and have for the past 3 years. Heartless has always been a staple and it never fails to get reactions. One customer's jaw fell into his marinara sauce and the other person sitting at the table dropped her fork into her wine glass! I love this trick and It is one of the only 'trick' decks I will carry." ~ Shaun Robison Delmonico's Italian Steakhouse
