On Feb 12, 2020, alexhui wrote: Alex, thank you for the very helpful review. It gives very good perspective without revealing the mechanics. I probably sound like a broken record by this time in saying it is a misnomer to call this a card to pocket effect. Very few audience members will believe the card transposed from the deck to the pocket. The card never "vanishes" as it was never shown in the first place! Rather, the audience will view this as the traditional Premonition effect, i.e, somehow the magician knew beforehand which card they would think of and removed it from the deck and put it in their pocket beforehand. Which is fine as Premonition is one of the few card tricks which can produce a standing ovation when done right. This to me is a weaker version of Premonition for stage and platform than other methods. As Ted Lesley discusses in Paramiracles, you really want the audience member to count out the cards to build suspense. This version lacks that and so would be less impactful on stage. On the other hand, this version could be very good ending effect for small group walkaround. Personally, I would use Bang On 2.0 for the production based on Alex's feedback. The price seems reasonable for a quality printed deck that can be used in other ways. |

Please check regularly if you are becoming the type of magician Jerry Seinfeld jokes about. (This applies to mentalists as well.)

Thank you Alexhui for the great video and written review. I like your unbiasedness(?) and thoroughness. There is none of the snarkiness that so many Café goers express. Keep up the great work you do. You are now certainly one of my favourite reviewers and undoubtedly the most thorough one.

Just a few thoughts when handling these type of cards:
If the spectator, when spreading the cards, suddenly pauses and separates the hands. Now, if right handed, he/she suddenly sees the whole card surface in his/hers left hand, upper and lower half, both indexes! ![]() And, when peaking, let a couple of cards pass by, riffling through some cards. ![]() Well, at my age, I think I am quite confident and used to audience management, but still, I think I am going to order a Get Sharky Deck. ![]() |

Saysold1 Brett you have made contributions to the craft that I use everyday but calling an effect a dead horse without any other comment doesn’t really help the discussion.
I realize you sold yours right away and that speaks volumes but can you elaborate on why you don’t like this or give any more details. I know you like Get Sharky as do I and I ordered Pocket Nightmare but would really like to hear a more detailed criticism of Card to Pocket than that’s it’s a dead horse. |

I was thinking about using a normal deck and the seer to vanish a card, then producing it using other brothers card to pocket. 🤔 Anyone have any thoughts?
There will always be someone better at some things than you are. There will always be someone worse at some things than you are. All you can really do in the end, is aim to be better than you were yesterday.

Hey everyone. I reviewed this on the latest episode of my review show. I performed the routine on the show as well.
I have to be honest, I don’t really like it. If you want to know why the full review can be seen at the following link. Any questions let me know. Thanks https://youtu.be/18QoOqlud4E |

I have to be honest, I don’t really like it. I agree 99%. 1% disagreement is around the option that you can perform this trick with no mental effort. Of that 1%, 99% feels the mental effort to put in a mdeck is incredibly well repaid by what you can do with it. Example: ACAAN et al. So that makes 99.99% agreeable! ![]() ![]()

There is always a trade-off with any method.
In the original Premonition by Eddie Joseph, the individual cards are normal, so it is very safe to let the spectator handle them. The trade-off is the timing of when you hand the deck to the spectator. If you go down the path of using gaffed cards, you always run a risk when you let the spectator handle them. At 02.15 - 02.25 of the promo video, there is actually an example of that - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6L4OSDI7gY At 2.25 they cut the video. I'm not surprised. Maybe the guy said something; maybe out of politeness he decided not to. But he SAW! |
