The fact that every magic distributor has sold out is a good sign in my mind. I told a friend about it and she says she’s interested. Unfortunately she will have to wait til late March. Well worth the wait imo

Just want to point out that saying your QD works perfectly straight out of the box only means it will “probably” work fine for most people. But it’s a bit like saying that one size fits all when what that actually means is that it will fit MOST.
I have done as Craig suggested and tried everything he mentioned many times to try and break it in, but unfortunately it still feels like the cards are glued to my bone dry fingers, and I prefer not to have to lick my fingers to moisten them every 2 or 3 cards. But I do not blame Craig or Murphy's Magic because I realize that I am an outlier. This has been true for me with every deck of this type my entire magic life so I am used to having to make my own decks. For 25 years I could not perform the ID until I finally learned/discovered how to make my own. As such my purchased deck is unusable for me but I do love Craig’s effect and different ideas on using it enough that I do not mind at all making my own. I keep everything necessary on hand anyway. I even have have a few blank decks in my chest of drawers devoted to decks of all kinds. |

I received my QD yesterday and I do love it. I've been practicing it today to get it down smooth. I've already watched the video and Craig has some really nice uses with the
QD. I'm not usually a card guy but I do like this one. Allen |

I think the deck might be temperature sensitive?
When it arrived it was cold and didn't work at all. When it warmed up to room temp it was fine. Will see in the summer outside if it has issues.

One noticeable thing upon receiving my two decks is the strong chemical smell. Whoa.
But letting them sit out it will eventually disperse from the cards. Of course smelling that chem smell you know your cards got treated well. |

You guys are clearly not entertainers lol
The difference is I wasn't kidding when the cards are cold they stuck together. You wont be laughing when potentially the heat messes with them and cause them to be unusable. You do know the method right? How is that a stretch? I guess it went right over your heads or you really do think you’re funny. My guess is it went over your heads.

I've heard it works best in the central plains with a dew point of 74 or below. Obviously that's all relative to the lunar cycle.

I live in the deep south of the U.S and it does get very humid down here so cards get warped pretty fast down here.

Around here we have to keep our decks in spring clips to keep them from puffing from humidity in summer. Never had an issue outside of that and we run from well below freezing to above 100 F. But will keep an eye on it. |

The only downfall to the deck is they will get dingy fairly quickly if you use it regular.

Loving all the people discussing chemicals and other things that expose the deck. Great job!
I received two of mine today. I live in a cold area, they work just fine. If you haven't used this type of deck before, you will get used to it and how it works. I feel the money I paid is more for the method and tutorial videos. The deck can be replaced easily and Craig tells you how to make one, if you have not done this before. |

Review:
I will get right to it from the beginning, is this deck examinable by laymen and magicians without them figuring out the method? No... absolutely not! I know one way of constructing the deck and the gimmick that probably would but not the way that Craig and Murphy's did it. Therefore, the advertising is dishonest when they say that it could be examined by laymen and magicians. Now I know what his response will be, "if you are a seasoned performer, people shouldn't ask to examine the deck..." and that is true, except that Craig and Murphy's said in the ad copy that it could be examined. In fact, when Adam Wilber asked, "could I examine the deck..." and Craig said that if he were there in person, he could examine the deck. This implies that he wouldn't find out the method, but for someone as knowledgeable as Adam, he would easily figure it out in about 10 seconds. Onto the next one... When I first watched the trailer, it fooled me... particularly when he said that the deck could be examined. However, after ordering and thinking about it for a few hours, I recognized one particular move in the trailer that reminded me of another ACAAN, which will remain nameless, but Adam should be familiar with, and I figured it out. When it arrived, it was what I thought that it was. Out of respect for Craig Petty, I have gone through great lengths in trying not to tip the method. ___________________________________ As for the product itself, it is a great product, so that is what pains me about the ad copy being dishonest. I LOVE THE IDEA of a participant thinking about a playing card, having the participant think of a number, then dealing down to that number and the thought of playing card is at that location. It will ABSOLUTELY fly past every layman on the planet. For people wondering about how to get the participant to choose the card placed in the deck, see Peter Turner's penguin lecture or some of his other work on this stuff. I'm not going to say much else... Due to the misleading ad copy and how critical Craig Petty used to be about other magicians with misleading ad copies, I was going to give it 3 out of 5 stars but I went with 4 stars because it is a great product. |

I agree. Nuff said.
"The New York Papers," Mark Twain once said,"have long known that no large question is ever really settled until I have been consulted; it is the way they feel about it, and they show it by always sending to me when they get uneasy. "
