Some people need to watch the video more carefully - each card has a unique solution. Though this is a good demonstration of how deceptive the method can be.

Right Michael, if you pay attention to the video you will notice a "move" for every card requested. So never two cards in the same location. Still waiting for mine to arrive.

I haven't seen this yet, but anything with Liam's name on is always top notch. This may be on the DVD already (so apologies if it is)....I would get the spectator to write down the name of any playing card and pop it into my "wallet" ;-) And then introduce the pack, "shuffle" it, and ask them to mentally spell the name of their thought of card as I deal the cards to the table, one letter for each card....the dealing would stop at their thought of card, and when you turn over the card......
Just a thought! Gary Jones.

I'm also thinking that applying the Spell-O-Matic deck principle to my Andy Nyman Code decks might make for some additional fun. |

It’s like adding something because you want to use it as a band aid to patch up some magician inner fears that things are too ‘face up’ Anyway that’s my gut reaction to the p&$k idea But what do I know I haven’t even got this effect |

Gary - I think the spelling procedure used here would make your idea hard for the spectator to follow.
If I remember from the trailer, for the first part of the card you are spelling the value of the card, not the name. |

The wallet idea was just that, an idea, but any way to secretly find the name of the thought of card would do
Michael640, It should still work (I think) no matter how you spell the card, you just ask them to mentally spell the value, and then the suit (or whatever procedure is needed) and the spectator would be smiling to himself/herself as they realise you spot on at each stage. Gary.

Hi Gary,
That's a great idea, and you could definitely work that into the routine with no problems at all. If anyone wants to try it out, I'd suggest having 2 or 3 spectators think of cards, and the last one writing it down, so that you (or even they) can spell the last card completely fairly! Cheers dude! Liam. |

How about openly cutting the deck as a demonstration of how a gambler would be able to cut to any card to complete a winning hand?
No concern over hiding the cutting. |

Great idea Gary & another brilliant release by Liam.
Also, no billets needed for Gary's idea. He obviously means you peek the info. off the card using a peek wallet ( or any other way I you don't want to use a wallet. Mike Donoghue |

Hey magic people!
I've added a couple of tips and bits onto my blog, so if you've picked up Spell-O-Matic, check it out for some ideas https://kaymarmagic.com/blogs/news Cheers, Liam. |

Hi,
Without exposing the method is it the same as Devin Knight's "Auto Spell Deck ?
Do your best and forget the rest

I changed the ending to my liking by simply adding John Bannon's "Line of Sight (redux)" card peek for the final phase but without the shuffle afterwards. In short, the spectator peeks a card as you riffle the edges. Now the spectator is only thinking of his/her card but yet you still manage to find their card as before with nothing spoken. This handling of the last phase is ideal for strolling (self-contained) because it does not incorporate any extra steps or props (wallets, writing things down, removing cards from the deck etc.)that would otherwise slow things down. Regardless of your own preference, "Spell-O-Matic" was a pleasant surprise in 2016 and highly recommended.

No, the two effects are completely different. Each has it's advantages.

The Phoenix I wondered the same thing. Devins version is so easy and simple and devastating I've often looked at it as the ultimate spell effect. But this looks great as well. Its nice knowing you can't go wrong with either. Great minds at work!
Good magic to all, Eric |

One of the differences with the two effects is... With Spell-O-Matic, when you spell the cards out you don't show the faces of the cards. With Auto Spell Deck, you turn the cards face up when you spell, thus showing the card are all different and in no special order.
