I'm proud to announce that my debut effect, Fortuity, has gone up for pre-sale over at Alakazam and is due to ship on March 24th!
There are already a bunch of rave reviews up on Alakazam's site as this was available, and sold out, at Blackpool, so you can get some real world reviews ahead of its official release. http://www.alakazam.co.uk/product-Fortui......an-.html - - - - - - - - Here's the ad copy: From the creative mind of David Jonathan comes Fortuity. An amazing prediction that looks so clean and fair it will truly blow your spectators minds! David has taken the Duel Match premise to incredible new heights with a complete change of method. By rolling two dice, your spectator generates a random number. You cleanly count to this number from either end of a rainbow deck and remove their chosen back design. The deck is now completely spread to show that there really is only one card with this unique back design. The dice are rolled again and once again the cards are counted from either end of the deck to arrive at a random value. The deck is completely spread to show absolutely no duplicates are in play. In essence your spectator has created a random playing card from these two free selections. You now ask them to open an envelope that has been sitting in view from the very beginning and inside is a perfect duplicate of the card that has been created. Each package comes complete with a very special custom deck, two beautiful dice and full video tutorial. Fortuity is so easy to do; even a beginner could do it with only a few minutes of practice. No Loaded Dice. Any numbers can be rolled (or use imaginary Dice). All The cards can be show both front and back. Absolutely Zero Sleight Of Hand! - - - - - - - - You can watch Dave and Peter talk about Fortuity on today's Alakazam Vlog, and also see Dave perform the effect live for Peter below. As they mention in the Vlog, I also teach my handling on the DVD which allows for the deck to be shuffled beforehand and the participant gets to choose to count the number rolled from either the top or the bottom of the deck, and that choice would have resulted in different outcomes of the card! ( or jump ahead to the part about Fortuity right here: https://youtu.be/Q2vkXR3nj_E?t=16m ) I'll be around to answer any questions you may have. |

Is there any R&S?

I'd prefer not to go into specifics about the method, as once you start to confirm/deny, it always ends up in a guessing game that ultimately leads to exposure, however I can assure you it's workings are very practical and it is 100% surefire. It's gone through multiple prototype decks over the years to streamline the handling and I've added in a lot of subtleties along the way. The one downside is you cannot vary the outcome without purchasing a second deck, though that can be said for a lot of effects.

I like it but won't be parting with 30 pounds for it.

A few people were interested in seeing my handling, so I made a really quick video performing it that you can check out here: https://youtu.be/PWBofIAnmoI
As you can see, you can really play this up and it appears so clean! Also, some more reviews are coming in, here are a few highlights: Quote: "An ABSOLUTE WORKER! This one goes into the MUST HAVE, MUST USE pile. A self working piece of brilliance." |

Are there any other tricks that can be done with the deck? I'm thinking along the lines of a memorised deck routine because you can claim to have learnt each card's back design.

I'm sure there are more routines and presentations that can potentially be done with this unique deck, but as of now, it was specifically designed for this one routine. I'd be curious to see what others come up with. As with all Alakazam releases, if we ever do end up creating any new routines with the deck, they will be added to your Alakazam account once you register the product. With all that said, given the nature of it being a rainbow deck, you do have clear justification to bring it in then out of play (opposed to switching in/out a typical gimmicked deck). |

I have had this since before release and love it...Tune, will there be an option to purchase a second deck at some point, so it's repeatable?
