Here are two reviews from magicians I trust:
http://magic.about.com/b/2011/04/20/review-devastation.htm http://www.online-visions.com/reviews/0906devastation.html Looks like a decent trick, but I'm not sure if the two plots marry well. Although I don't own the effect, I've got several products from Wayne, all of them are very good. Marty |

We did a review of this over at The Magic Session. If you'd like to watch the full review:
http://themagicsession.com/featured/magi......05-01-11 Here are my quick thoughts from the review: Devastation: Someone names a card and you then proceed to show the deck has backs on both sides. You remove two 'jokers' from the deck and place them into your wallet. First the Jokers become printed and then the whole deck becomes printed as a normal deck. To end you pull the thought of card from your wallet! Cons: * The deck needs to be setup in order to do the routine so this is a one deck wonder type of effect. * You will need some table space in order to perform this. You are placing several packets of cards on the table and spreading them out. * There are a few additional gimmicks that you need to carry with you that might interfere with pocket space if you are a worker. Pros: * A solid routine that has a few surprise moments that your audience is sure to love. * The props/gimmicks included are nicely made and help justify the price tag. * There is as close to self-working as you can get. There are a few moves required to pull off the effect but nothing knuckle busting or challenging. There's also no palming involved so if that kind of thing scares you then have no fear. * The displays used are smart and could be used for other routines. Overall: This is another winner from Wayne Dobson that isn't too tough and will pack a punch. Wayne is known for commercial 'workers' and this one does not disappoint. This isn't my favorite thing from him but it's definitely solid and worth the $40.00. luke |
