It can be done 1 on 1, but I think it's better with two spectators.

Maybe the Wizard Product Review will look at this. I don't always agree with the reviews, but you get to see them perform the trick.

Honestly, there isn't much to see---its OOTW. If someone has any interest in OOTW and they don't get this I believe it is their loss.

This has its strenghts over common versions but also the weaknesses.
Pros: Biggest plus is that the deck is really shuffles by the spectator and if they chose to do so, they can even check the cards. No common "Hey, why do I have only red cards" sneaky business going on. They really do have all different cards. There is a way to clean up the normal OOTW "mark card" switch that is seen in many versions with gaffs or nice way to cover it also with attitude. Although the deck is gaffed it can be used to pretty much any other normal deck card effect as well. Not sure if you like to do so cos the deck isn't really cheap but you could. Very few laymen would find out what is going on with it. Magicians might rather easily after seeing the routine performed. Cons: Even though the spectators can choose if the card is red or black, it is the magician who must deal the card into the pile. Also you cant do this with just 2 piles as in many other versions. You must have four. Two to black cards and two to red ones. While wathing the performance I immediately questioned the reasoning for this? There seemed to be no reason why magician was tossing some red cards to other red pile and some others to other... This comes up even harder to motivate with just one spectator. It is still gaffed deck as is Dill/Weber new world that is still the cleanest possible OOTW but requires more spectator management than this one. And of course Dill/Weber one cant be examined but why anyone would want to anyway? Or if someone wants to do this at platform where this seems to be well suited then Robert Mansila's routine is better and ends up totally examinable. |

If I were to sell them, I most definitely would have a demo, so everyone would see that there IS a difference. If it's not different and it's just OOTW, than I guess you are right...no need for a demo. And if that's the case, why bother buying it? Also, I am not saying that this is the case with this effect, but typically, now-a-days if there isn't a demo, it typically means that the method is evident to those with a bit of knowledge. |

I found a demo on youtube and I have to say that I like this version.

Regardless if it IS an improvement, why not promote it? And what better way to promote it than to see it? If you were to walk into a brick and mortar shop (man do I miss those) and ask to see it demoed, providing the dealer knew how to do it, if he refused to show you wouldn't that make you hesitate a bit on the purchase? I think the same thing holds true now with online demos. |

Looks very similar in method to Cosmos by Greg Rostami.

Great performance and demo, based on the demo, I'll be getting both this and Dill/Weber New World to see the comparisons between both routines. I am sure the way the deck is gimmicked that it doesn't just limit it to a OOTW presentation and that there are many other effects possible

The Dill/Webber deck is a one deck trick and can't be used for other effects . The perfect world deck can be used as a normal deck but then if you wear it out, you have to buy another expensive deck to use instead of the $2 bike deck .
Looking at the demo, there is a way of perform the effect using a normal bike deck , having a reason for 4 not 2 markers, reduce the effect time and to play 1 on 1 .. I have sent the idea to a few knowledge guys to look at , to be sure not re-inventing the wheel. Andy |

Brehaut,
Not having to look down can aid in the process but not essential.. when a person hands you a card it is natural to look at what you are taking..and less natural not to.. If you tell spectators to focus on red or black , you only need two piles and not 4 . This is a weakness... other versions do not have...effects are about compromises and which ones you prefer to accept |
