Not really. It stopped me from buying it.

Yeh get a m@@@@d deck & write the script on a piece of paper & use the 19.95 to buy a new vest or a pocket watch lol !


...OR you could politely pay Mark for the rights to use his trick/script (if you think it’s worth the asking price). And get some clever variations in method and presentation for the effect too.

I like this a lot! I figured out what was going on in the demo and like everybody here, I imagine, knew how to get the info when not using a 'specific' deck. I really like the way the effect is set up to aid the performer in a very natural way to get what they need. I've performed my fair share of spectator as mind reader using a 'specific' deck, but I really wish I'd thought of framing the effect in this way. Nice one!
"I seriously love the disarming flexibility of Mick Wilson's SDP...one of those rare card-handling procedures that exemplifies the concept of 'why run when no one is chasing you'. SDP is an open-handed utility tool that conjurers will use to great advantage when creating new effects in the years to come."

But 400 people bought it directly from me because they trust
me and knows the level of routines that I oublish.
Another 400 bought it on an illegal places (i know that
because the asked to join the Facebook group)
and many others just saw me in at my show in the Event/Session
and some of them told me that they will “definitely “
Use it. It was a show. Not a lecture. But they say that
they will use it...that was the reason for me to release it.
There are many other effects you can buy if you don’t trust
the performer but please try to understand that some routines are very easy to copy
after you see the video.

Never watched the performance of this at Penguin but my friend Mick Wilson fooled me with it twice.
I said marked deck& of course it wasn’t .
I knew the principle but it flew past me & I have been in magic for more years than I care to remember.
Well done Mark, this is excel& simple

The cheeky buggers. So so bad! I hope you told them where to stick it (goodness it was tempting to put the word selfie in fromt of “stick it” - but felt the pun was strong enough to stand on its own).

Did you find out where they got it from and managed to get it closed down?

Will go check this out at your site Lior.

The trick in the trailer ist really good, if Mark Elsdon is the one who came up with this , he is getting my respect......,
This is a fantastic idea and a really good use for the M-Deck. Simple and practical.

Not sure how the spectator experience will be , but it is really fooling and definitely something different.

The teaser might be misleading, that's true but if it would be shown with the peek in full view everybody would know ...... so partly I do understand .. but I also agree that it is kind of misleading

I might buy it, as I am curious how to get the peek, and that's what he sells in the end,... the method. No problem with a good peek. The only question is: is it a good peek or not ?

Dave_matkin I think you don't realise the internet is a big place. I tried tracking the sites, but they change countries and servers every few weeks. These guys are good at hiding in the web. I don't think it'll ever be possible to track them or even get close to shutting them down. These sites are not something built like other web sites, they use clever routing techniques to avoid detection.
I've worked for over 15 years in this track and trace business, mainly trying to track financial sites, fake designer clothes and watches etc... in all that time when we shut one down, within 2 hours they are back elsewhere.
Just thought I'd mention it to those who don't realise how huge the problem is.

There's a good and honest review of this here:

I am absolutely amazed anyone paid for this. It’s just so blindingly obvious as to the method, and you will never, ever borrow a specs deck so you’ll only ever perform it with a marked deck, so why would you waste your money?
