I read a review of it in magic magazine. They didn't give it a very good review, stating that its over complicated. As for me, I have never tried it.

Hi!
I created the effect. Just want to clarify a few comments made in that review. There are various handlings for the effect included in the instructions - some suitable for the advanced magician, some suitable for the beginner to magic. I tried to cater for all. What trick nowadays does not require practice? I think Mr Close's comments regarding it being overly complicated (or words of similar choice) were made because he thought this was being sold to amatuers or members of the public (such as other Fantasma tricks which are sold in retail stores). This is not the case and it is only sold to magicians. Period. Mr Close said it was not suitable for the real world but in my view, the real world does not solely consist of table hopping or restaurant work. Certain effects work best in certain situations. When the time is right you do the trick. When the time is not right you do another trick. This applies to many effects in magic. Of course the deck cannot be examined as the deck is gaffed to the hilt. There are many trick decks that are one deck tricks that are heavily gimmicked. Sadly, I could not deivse a method that would create a hole in a deck which would allow the deck to be examined. Also just because it does not use Bicycle stock playing cards, I do not think this makes it a lesser effect. Of course I disagree with most of his comments in the review but I take his comments on board. All I can say is that I showed it to many people at FISM (Eugene Burger, Greg Wilson, Richard Kaufman, Piet Fortan, Duvivier and many others) and always got a great reaction. What matters in magic is the effect to the layperson - not how you achieve it. If you have any specific questions I will happily answer them. Thanks! Angelo BTW, Richard Kaufman has seen the effect and knows the method and working and highly recommends it in the December 2003 issue of Genii magazine.

Yeah I got a question;
as a recent purchaser and confusee of the Shake Rattle and Hole product, I'm curious to know why (assuming it is what it is advertised as, cuz I been staring at the deck and the book and havent figured it out in about 3 hours now) its the only effect in it's series (the book shaped boxes with gim decks and props) that doesn't have a demo video on the website?? Im just sayin, man, give us a demonstration! I'd personally like to know how it goes! The book is PACKED with information, so that is good, but not enough pictures! In essence: HELP! I just wanna SEE what I'm supposed to be doing here, man! I look like an idiot tryin to figure this out, and the only saving grace is only my faithful cat is here to see it! Don't make me get my hopping halves!

Ha, ha, ha, man I told you Greylock. I knew that you would have some questions. However, once you figure this out it is going to be good!
Have fun Earthling. Jim

Hi Angelo,
Whatever happened to Tenyo world (www.tenyoworld.co.uk/)? Sorry for going off topic. P.S. You may like to refresh old memories. Please read my post @ http://www.themagiccafe.com/archive1/vie......start=15

Ok laugh your arachnids off Jim, but I think I found wa way to use this deck that was never intended by its creator. Since I couldn't find a video performance of it, I made up my own trick, and if I do say so, its a good one. I started with a bullet catch idea, and worked it into an ambitous card rout which ends up with the spectator's card mysteriously moving from one card case to another, and then a HOLE appears in their card as well as the case! The hole is handed out for inspection and the card is restored to its original state!

Ok here is a video of Shake Rattle and Hole:
http://www.evogamers.com/ac/shake%20rattle%20and%20hole.mov As it is a trick deck which combines many principles it IS going to require some work to achieve the desired effect. An effect so visual and so impossible is not going to be easy in method to achieve. I am sorry if some are finding it a little difficult to execute but please believe me it is worth the effort. I get nothing but great reactions everytime I perform it. I tried to make the instructions as detailed as possible. I actually now set up the deck so I do not need to revolve the face card of the deck (so that eliminates a move). I want to help in anyway I can. PM me with any questions. Daffydoug: Please do give it another try. Have a look at the video. Here are some endorsements from a few that believe in my product. I hope you do too. "Angelo Carbone's Hole Deck warps reality so severely that a tear in the fabric of space and time becomes as plausible an explantaion as any. Absolutely fantastic!" Steve Fearson. "Angelo Carbone continues to astonish me with his creativity. His latest, 'Shake, Rattle and Hole' is a jaw dropping illusion." Richard Kaufman, Genii Magazine. "When Angelo showed me 'Shake, Rattle and Hole' at FISM, I was rendered speechless. And for those that know me, that is one heck of a feat." Greg Wilson, Two-Time FISM Award Winner. "Once again Angelo brings out a trick that will fool the heck out of you. Shake, Rattle & Hole is a diabolically clever effect well within the ability of all magicians. Thank goodness he uses his powers for good and not evil!" Jon Allen, Award Winning Close Up Magician. "This is one of the most visually impossible effects you have created, and given your output, that's saying a lot. The combination of so many devious secrets in one trick is absolutely mind-boggling." Matt Field. Best wishes, Angelo Ustaad: Tenyoworld has not vanished. As I am in New York and Tenyoworld was started in the UK, I am having problems to maintain the site ( don't ask ) I hope to have it running in a couple of months. I will no way abandon the site after all the work I put into it. Best Angelo

Thanks for the video, Angelo. The effect makes a lot more sense having seen it in performance now. Maybe update the link for Fantasmamagic.com I think you could sell more of them if you had that video posted there. The handling seems pretty self explanatory after the video, so I will modify my original opinion of this effet;
VERY Complicated but VERY visual. Not for novices, but worth the effort, expecially if you can come up with good patter.
