I just bought the Titanic Deck and already know that I’m never going to use it. I have a few problems with it:


1. The gimmick. It is not a widely available piece of magic, as stated in the ad. In fact if you look for it at Hocus Pocus, Alakazam or Penguin, they don’t have it. They do sell it as part of another trick but you can’t use that for the Titanic Deck. The gimmick can be bought at a webstore that Vagelis (maker of Titanic Deck) suggests. Costs 5 pounds plus 5 pounds postage makes 10 pounds (17 US dollar.) That is more than the trick itself !

2. When you got your atributes ready, you still can’t go and practice. You need to know a certain method, that will take you days to get the hang of it. It is mentioned in the instructions but never explained. So you’re pretty much on your own how to execute that method. I happened to have a DVD with an explantion of such a method. When I saw it a long time ago, the first thing I did was hit the ‘ next’ button of the remote.

3. Claims that the spectator can shuffle the deck ar not true. Even the magician must be very careful to shuffle the deck. You even get instructions how to shuffle it, so how do expect to let the spectator shuffle it without instructions. When a spectator shuffles it, the chances are 99% that the effect won’t work.

Sorry to say, for that 15 bucks I coud have bought a few Stripper decks or marked decks that would give me much more revenue.

Hi frans,
You bought this effect yesterday and you already know all this.
Its fine by me to refund you.
So, send me a pm with the email that you use with your paypal and you ll get a full refund. Both me and others will dissagree with your statements but it doesn't matter, does it?
Just a small advice if I am allowed to give it to you. No matter if you ever use the TD or not, go back to that DVD and don't press the 'NEXT' button this time. You ll thank me later.
All the best
Titanas

That's very generous of you Titanas.
You're a example for an lot of other magicians who put their effects on the market. Way to go and no hard feelings I hope.

My name is Rich,and I am a Titanicholic.

Frans:Sorry to hear about your frustrations with the TD.The modest investment made to assemble the TD's is IMHO worth 10X the final amount.
I use the TD in my Restaurants 4 nights a week,and it kills.Especially with the way it can be used in conjunction with different routines.I am not a very skilled cardman,however,the TD is so easy to use it is perfect for someone like me who is mostly interested in entertainment with economy of any complex moves.I think you may be giving up to soon.Have you checked the TD Forum?There are a lot of good ideas there.
As far as the Spectator being able to shuffle..they can..with proper management.However,I have found that this is not necessary,because the performers shuffle's are so convincing.Best.

I just ordered the system- and I enjoy it very much. I would also like to say for those who do psychic or Bizarre, this could be adapted to Tarot and/ or ESP symbol cards, story cards or any other number of items.

I had to read parts of it several times to 'get it' but then it was late.

Keep inventing, kind sir!

I am thinking about springing for this.....the second demo (picture this) on the site has me a little confused. The implication is that the picture of the cards that are shown forces the spectator to visually choose a card.... and that the deck then becomes unnecessary. I am guessing that the spec has a free selection?

The routine seems to undermine things a bit....would make the audience think 9as implied in the demo) that the picture is performing a visual force....

Am I missing something?

Oombob,
How about pm me your email and I will send you the picture to see for your self.
All the best,
Titanas

This sounds great!! Just ordered it and cant wait to check it out. Hope you got my PM Titanas.....

One of the today's orders Mr. Thomas H. has some problems with his email, I sent it twice and I got a failure responce. Please Mr Thomas, pm me an other email so I can send you your Titanic Deck.
All the best,
Titanas

Sorry for the confusion. I must have sent you my work email through paypal and I have it set on a 5mb cap so I can get work done and not look at magic (sometimes). Thanks for the quick turn around. I thought I would get an auto response email to download it or something. Hope to see you soon on your boards.

Well I have this.... thanks Titanasgr. I just need to get my deck together and start playing with it. The thinking is very cool.

I would warn... if you are new to magic or mentalism, you may have to come up to speed on a few principals that are assumed with this.

I have been doing this sort of mentalist card routine for quite awwhile and feel this new deck idea will strengthen everything I've already been doing.

Nice work!

Oombob,
Thanks for your nice comments.
I would like to ask all the new TD owners to register in the exclusive TD forum as there are some great routines in there.
Titanas

p.s: keep an eye for Ti MiRA

What principles should newcomers be familiar with to get th emost out of this deck? Im assuming maybe some forces or card manipulations but really have no clue. Please pm me if you can answer my Q.

No forces or card manipulations at all.
The deck encompasses some princliples that explained thoroughly into the booklet and there is a dedicated forum too to get any futher insight.

So, don't by any chance expect something to complicate you or ask from you to practise and to practise.
It's all there, in the booklet...

rgds,
aware

One might also add that if you don't already have two somethings in your magic little hands, you will need to purchase them as well. Just so the new guys know.
