The more I watch the video,the more my mind thinks "It looks weird that you can only show a small portion of the revealed card." I'm starting to have doubts creep in that it will "fly" with most spectators.

The audience. Just my 2 cents...

So, what do you say to the folks who pick up the deck and start dealing the cards face up onto the table in amazement?

Strong spectator control skills would be in order. But so it is with any gimmicked deck.

Since when is making a trick that permits the audience to savor the wonder and touch the cards into something you have to keep out of their hands an improvement? On the plus side, you will have the props to so a cute oil/water type trick using some blank cards and some regular card

I have it in my hands!
The delivery time is incredible! 4 days! WOW! Thanks! The DVD is OK! Nothing special - but informative! Two routines are explained! The first I do not like! The second is good! I invented my own routine within a second. And I think - that is really good. 
Anyone who is familiar with Out Of This World, will find his idea. My Out Of This World with “Twisted Blizzard“ has now four strikes!!!!!!! Bang! It's my first day with Twisted Blizzard, but I think I'll use it! I like it much! Sorry for my english! marc 8/10 |

Hi marc,
which do you think is a better use - an "out of this world" where they pick which cards go into the piles or an "oil and water" where they deal the cards down to mix the cards? -Jon

Hello Jonathan
Out Of This World!!!! About "oil and water" I have not really thought about it! I'll stay with "Out Of This World". But maybe I change my mind! |

I just got this and I do not do the trick on a table as seen in the video. I do it in the hands and in my opinion it works much better in the hands. I showed my handling to Mark Mason at the winter carnival this weekend and he started to demo it that way. The in the hands way was not shown on the DVD. Mark would get a crowd around him and then demo the effect in the hands. He was selling them like crazy. Use your imagination to come up with other uses for the deck ir even individual cards.

I'll stick with Mr. Dean Dill's brilliant original "Blizzard". Show the chosen card with all the others blank and walk away while the audience grabs at the cards and examines them to their heart's desire only to find NOTHING. Leaves the audience stunned.

When you perform with this cards you have to pay attention that you perform it on a FLAT surface.
If your close-up mat is too small for a full spread of the cards there is a little difference in the level of the close-up mat and the surface of the table. Avoid that ! The difference in "level" can give the spectator an "insight" under the cards if they are at a distance. So if your close-ip mat is to small for a full spread, do it without a close-up mat. |

Or you can just do it in the hands. Works fine this way.

These cards are way too gimmicked to perform on a table. In the hands only, and then only at a push.

The spectators ask to see the cards almost every time. There, audience management is easy to say but not to do !

Maybe I'm just lucky but I've done this probably 30 times since I got mine and no one has asked to see the cards or even hinted at it.
