Hello guys,
I was searching around the net and have found no reviews at all about this product! Anybody does use it? Is it wroth to change Tossed Deck routine for the GPS? Anybody can say anything about this product? I mean magicians/mentalists who really use it and not the description on Mr. Bill Abbott's web site. Thank you, Pal

I just received this and I really like this take on the "tossed" out deck. It's a great way to still do that "TOD" concept, but you're able to step away from a traditional deck of cards to do so. Which in my mind, the audience will probably appreciate if you're doing card trick after card trick. The number of 'travel tags' you get is enough to prepare two different methods of forcing a location (or any number of locations you would like to force). I'm pleased with this product. Especially the method of forcing supplied by Bill (in regards to adding a tassel to the cards). Another point to note is how valuable this effect is - It packs small and plays big. I do feel the routine supplied has great patter after the deck has been checked, and during the deck switch, but I have come up with my own script to carry the effect during the revelations and after. I felt that the endings supplied in the sample performances lacked a big punch. In my opinion, It lacked impact in all 3 of the clips. I think simply stating "there is no way I could possibly know what destinations you are thinking of.... then go into the reveal, is enough to make the reaction a little better. Highly recommended if you're a full time worker and need an effect that isn't so much high energy and takes very minimal effort to pull off. This way you can focus on the performance aspect.
...for the 51st time... that is NOT my card...

I had it and didn't like it. Boring and didn't really care for the premise. Gave it away to a friend of mine...and he gave it back. If I could remdmber what I did with it, I'd give it to you. Bill's weakest release IMO

I am very curios about GPS because I am using TOD by Gazzo and I really love the TOD routine and principle but I don't want to do it with playing cards. I have weekly 4-5 gigs and 99% is in hotels with 100% tourist audience. That's why I loved the idea to do the TOD effect with travel destinations so the people can relate with it more and I hope it will be more fun. I am very sure I will send my review about it. Thanks again!

Anyway I bought mine from 65 USD from an other magician who was offering his own to sell because he didn't like it neither. Well the test of the pudding is eating so I will be smarter after getting mine and do some test runs. As I already mentioned I am very sure I will share my experience in this thread. Thank you very much for being honest and sharing your experience! Cheers,

If you care to PM me, I will share with you what I have come to love about this effect and how I am currently presenting it! I feel it was a good purchase and I'm surprised at how underrated it was received, overall.

Hello Anthony,
so far I can't say anything because my friend will bring all my order from the US to Mexico and the GPS is in this package. She will arrive tomorrow! I want to try out immediately already on this Saturday and Sunday gig. I am very excited about it. I love the TOD effect and idea but for not only English speaking crowed and for people who don't know cards TOD isn't interesting at all but with locations everybody can relate with even tourist in hotels where I have 95% of my gigs 3-4 times a week. Monday I will PM you ASAP! Thanks for checking on me! Regards, Pal

GPS 2 by Chris Funk has been released. Is there anything new with version 2 over the original

GPS 2 is amazing once you get a grasp on the method! Definitely recommend for the strolling close up performer.
