I finally got a chance to watch the DVD and try out the effect. The animation is great and is different each time but certainly reliable. A lot was included with the DVD (all the necessary gimmicks a long with extra materials in case a gimmick breaks or if you want to make another one). The only problem I've been having is that the deck cuts it self immediately after being released so there's no delay before the haunting. I'm sure after playing around with the gimmick it won't be too hard to control that. All in all I'm pretty satisfied with Haunted 2.0 being the first haunted deck method I've purchased.

I wouldn't let this dissuade you from haunted 2.0. If you read earlier in the thread, I had the same issue at first, and with a little "training" of one part of the gimmick (no trouble, really), it worked perfectly.

I would say it is easy and pretty much works out of the box. I can't explain the "training" aspect of it, but it is the equivalent of calling cards "working out of the box" even though you have to tear off the plastic wrapping and open the seal to get at them. If that isn't easy, I don't know what is...
Others who have this problem may not have worked in the gimmick as taught on the dvd. Take a note of how many magicians have noted this works well rather than narrowing in your focus to the one who says it doesn't work perfectly. Taking action on that information is clearly fallible. However, if you don't want to take the advice, by all means don't buy it. One less person performing haunted 2.0 doesn't hurt me. I'd just say if you are making that decision based on one reply from one magician, you are making a mistake. |

One of the gimmicks is ready to go apart from "training" it which is very easy and takes a minute or so as shown on the dvd. Training is a bit like taking the wrapper off and getting the thing ready to use out of the box. As you can see on the 2 threads that are going on the Café everyone posting on hear is working this with no problems, those that had a problem seem not to have done the training part properly and now have it working. It's great to hear people are out there performing Haunted 2.0 and saying it's their favourite Haunted deck, thank you everyone for your positive feedback and support.

My thoughts on Haunted 2.0
About 20 days back, I finally took the plunge and got (traded) Mark Traversoni & Peter Eggink's 'Haunted 2.0' at the Café's Buy-n-Sell section. When Peter Eggink's 'Haunted' was released I was very unhappy with the unreliable working of the effect. We were served with a highly hyped & half-baked effect. I had no choice but to let loose my frustration and I thrashed the effect. Then came in Rasmus with his 'Haunted'. Rasmus' 'Haunted' was basically (IMO) an improvement to Eggink's 'Haunted' which was much more reliable in its working and later the effect was updated & made almost perfect by changing the type of stick used. I was very happy with Rasmus' 'Haunted' and this became my real world performance (almost hands-off) effect. Rasmus was very kind to give the updated version for free. Then later, sometimes during Aug 2012, Eggink & Travesoni returned with their improvement to Haunted and named the effect 'Haunted 2.0'. However, sadly the producers released 'Haunted 2.0' as a fresh release. I (as well as many others those who has purchased 'Haunted') was quite disappointed as we all thought that 'Hanted 2.0' was nothing more than a slight improvement done to the original 'Haunted'. Thus the producers should have given Haunted 2.0 as a free update (as Rasmus did). But that was not the case and I voiced my concern on this as well. My utmost concern was that for the same effect released by the same producer, I had to dish out another $35 or so thus making this one single effect cost me $70. The producers paid no heed to our bickering and no consideration (discount) was given to the original purchasers of 'Haunted', thus further adding to our frustration. I then decided to wait-n-watch to see how well this revised effect was received & reviewed (an honest review) by others who took the plunge and purchased haunted 2.0. After reading the reviews here on the Café and talking to a few friends I decided to purchase the effect but not at the retail price and went in for a trade at the Café’s Buy-n-Sell. After playing with Haunted 2.0 and doing some real world performances I fully agree with the HONEST opinion of Sgtgrey, and I quote:- Quote:

As on date, 'Haunted 2.0' is the BEST hands-off effect that surpasses all the previous versions released thus far. IMHO, I don't think one can further improve (of course, in MAGIC there is no effect that can't be improved upon ) the working of the effect. As on date 'Haunted 2.0' is THEE perfect hands-off commercial effect. I would highly recommend to those who are still thinking or are on the fence of purchasing the effect, may please do so now and I assure that you will be happy that you took the right decision. Just my opinion on 'Haunted 2.0'.

Oh great now I need to buy another haunted deck. I also purchased the first haunted but after using it I changed it and modified it. It now is pretty reliable, and I also didn't want to rebuy from the same creator. I didn't expect it to be free but I had hoped that with proof of purchase they could offer a discount. This was not to be so now I guess if I want to own the best haunted deck I will have to get H2.0

I still amaze myself how the gimmick can do what it does. This is truly something I do at every booking I perform at, in fact it's now the only card effect in my main set! The effect really does hit people hard, putting a deck down having it move like it does and then to have the chosen card come out gets screams, gasps and looks of astonishment! There has been lots of positve feedback on Haunted 2.0, it gives me a really good feeling to know that this is something people are now using. Thanks again to you all for your support and kind words.

IMO, when a creator gets bogged down and his ideas/ thinking rotate around improving a fixed method (i.e. Haunted by Eggink and Haunted by Rasmus) it becomes very difficult for any creator to (leave aside of making) even imagine the kind of gimmick you created. This was an entirely a new and fresh approach in creation of a very practical and usable gimmick. This (I say) was - A true 'Out of Box' thinking. And that is the reason that I said in my above short review & I quote: Quote:
