I have noticed that Mike Powers has a lot of effects dealing with transformations of cards, from big to small, and from small to big (normal size).

Someone at my local IBM meeting was showing me "diminishing returns" and it is so VISUAL I can't explain it. I didn't want to know the secret. But then he showed me and the method was genius!

He performed this trick to me better than I have seen it anywhere online since then.

The local shop I work at (www.jcrmagic.com) got me the effect, and it just came in. It also comes with the defectivew deck, which is another hard hitting effect. I searched online for a video of the performance so I can get the idea of the "defective deck" and mike had one on his website. It looks really visual, and I like how all his effects have a major ending.

I rate this effect a solid 10/10
