Thank you Ray for your review it brings clarity and allows a potential buyer to make an informed opinion .
I wish other reviewers would take heed as to how answer questions raised by people on the thread . Why did it take so long to clear up the point, you can't take a borrowed , shuffled deck and immediately go into the effect. Was that too hard to say ? Andy |

I have to back track a little .
Can the effect be done with a borrowed shuffled deck which you only box and nothing else ? Yes adding an additonal technique to the equation BUT the endgame sometimes may have to be a different effect which has equal impact . Andy |

Hi andy
Hope you are well, The answer to your question, yes you can take a borrowed shuffled deck, yes there is something that needs to be done but takes seconds to do. The ebook includes various handlings to suit all skill levels which is something I always aim to do. Any further questions please let me know. Russel@deceptionartist.com All the best R |

Ray,
Nice review. Of course, I always find it difficult to review an effect properly so people understand what they are getting into, yet not rob the creator of their intellectual property by too much exposure. I thought you gave a really nice balance there, and I agree with most of what you said. I would add that there is more than one way to use the envelope, or not use it, that I like better, but again, permissions would restrict Rus from giving those out. However, I have no doubts more experienced performers could easily adapt it to their needs. As for the shuffling, I do find the single riffle shuffle quite bold and risky, although you could consider shuffling it yourself, but leave the ends halfway out and then spread the deck to be pushed together by the spectator... As for the other setup method that involves a fully shuffled and borrowed deck, I've been doing far larger setups of a similar nature for quite some time now, and I would say that it really isn't scary at all. It does, however, take some skill to do this well. Hopefully I'm not giving too much away here, but I just wanted to add those bits to round out our two reviews. |

With some thinking, you can do this effect with a complete borrowed AND shuffled deck that you never touch. It is even more impressive that way I think.

Cheers sgtgrey, and thanks for your comments.
Just a note not to scare any new comers off, there is a version in the ebook that allows you to do this with no effort. The basic routine is as killer as the advanced. Best R |

sgtgrey Special user Austin, TX 839 Posts |
Yes, there is a version that allows that as well.
Dorian, I like your way of thinking... |

This is fantastic. It works how I expected, but there are a LOT of details that make this beautiful. The fact they can shuffle the deck is fantastic. I love this and I will most definitely be using it.
Great work Rus. This will be sure to astound. |

Just finished reading the download, and very happy with my purchase.
Think this will work nicely alongside 'The White Room' by Ran Pink. As for the outs, well in my opinion the spectator does not know how the effect will culminate which leaves your options wide open. Rus I really like it!! Thanks for sharing. Regards, Ian. |

I posted an idea in another topic about a new product called 'The Medallion'
Justin Miller suggested I should re post it here. Justin happened to remind me about an item that Max Krause makes http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......orum=109 Max makes a custom version of this to your own design (i hope that is still the case) and I was thinking of having one made as an out for the AKA, does anyone have any thoughts as to how that would play out. Thanks, Ian. |

This seems like a wildly convoluted and non-magical way of having someone think of a card.

Thanks alwow and everyone else that's enjoying this, Joe sorry you feel that way. Personally I think it ticks many boxes for a great routine that appears impossible.
All the best R |
