I have had this for quite some time and it’s been one of my favorite card effects this year. Really easy to do- the deck does all the work for you and it gets very good reactions. There is no roughing or sticky stuff either. The gimmicked deck can only be used for this effect, but that should be obvious regardless of the method since it’s half blue and half red, which also provides the necessary justification to switch decks openly. The only potential downside is it will be the same card every performance, but I don’t see that as an issue as plenty of effects are this way. If you like the performances in the trailer, you should get this- I strongly recommend it.


No roughing or sticky stuff... makes this intriguing. But seeing as it's somewhat obvious how you'd do a version of this *with* that, I'm still left wondering if this method is worth it just for the lack of roughing/sticky. It might be... or... it might not be. If it doesn't make any difference to the spectators, then what's the advantage. So, without revealing the method, can anyone who knows the details here explain what the benefit is of this approach to doing it with SF or whatnot?

Ok. Just realised any card can be chosen (26) which is a big bonus. Thought you had to force a single gaffed card. I’m deffo getting this when it arrives over the pond. In fact it’s probably already here considering James is English.


I don’t do this sort of effect, though I enjoying lurking and watching performances like this

I found it interesting that the any card being chosable (well cough, “half” the time) was a selling point

It feels tricks like this are for ppl who have no card skills. I myself have none. But you could do any force and the spec can actually hold the card and look at the whole card... and you can change the predicted card.... and the deck is freely examinable

It seems like tricks are made for lazy magicians who can’t be bothered working at their art

As I said I have no card mechanic skills of my own

And in a way, if ppl are too lazy to learn, why shouldn’t others make tricks for them

I just found the concept interesting.

This is a nice effect

Looked good

Again not my sort of material but it looked good

And full marks on the demo showing the effect properly

When I say any card can be chosen, they can choose any but it will always be the same value, if you get my drift.

I'm not sure I do, nevertheless, Inokan to order thus, because I just like the effect and the simplicity of it.

I have neither of these but just for completeness you may want to consider this very similar effect "Quantum Leap" as well. It's a little cheaper I think (like a buck maybe.)
Anyway, I have neither so I cannot compare as to which I may like best.

Ordered too from Anthony himself. Would be interesting to know if the 26 gaffs are different in each set in order for potential refill packs.

This was reviewed on the Wizard Product Review. I wonder if James Anthony will produce this with 2 full decks of cards as suggested?

Not had a chance to watch the review yet but I will later. The hardest part was printing the gimmicks on Bicycle Stock. We printed all the gaffs in house which
Gives us the option to print say a 2nd version refill pack easily enough should there be a demand. To offer 2 decks there would have to be the demand as these would need to be printed in huge volumes via the USPCC.

I like the fact there is no rough and smooth and yes we do sacrifice the ability to examine the other half but all the heat is on the blue cards with the red card selection inside. Theres quite a lot of possibility with the gimmicks included for other effects (which are talked through on the tutorials) and I think to get the gaff cards sepperately would probably cost around the same price as the trick itself.

And yes free P&P and until the end of this week on MagicWorld we are giving away 2 free mis indexed cards with different coloured backs with every out of the blue purchase, ideal for a pocket brainwave style effect.

Cheers A

All the best Anthony

How good is the quality of the printing in the gaffed cards? I mean, can the gaffed cards be mixed with same back regular bicycle cards and would be noticeable?

Isn't this just half a mastermind deck in Red and half a reg deck in blue with the red card somewhere near the bottom of the blue half ,
and you just don't show it on the initial spread .
You could then cut it in to the middle when you give them to the spectator .
That's my thoughts from watching it , what's actually new here ? Smile

Wrong and correct. Although you could use a mastermind deck.

I could certainly replicate the effect with what I already have for sure . However I think there are far better effects than this out there already imo Smile

It's simply another iteration of effects like Sankey's "Astral Projection," or "Strange Travelers," from Paul Harris, or dozens of other such effects. So why do I need it? Why did I even order it? I know not. For me it's superfluous, but I suppose it's just because I like it.

I'll find out tomorrow when it arrives in my mailbox.

It’s called being addicted to magic Daffy we have all done it and will continue to do so , don’t feel bad but trust me this ain’t as good as the wizard product review would make you believe . It’s average at best and much of a muchness and easy to replicate a better version anyway imho Smile
