Hej Vallarino came out with a new trick.... the trick itself is nothing new but the method it’s supposed to be a total surprise according to description.
Any review on this?? http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S24852 |

Knowing what this is I have to say that the advertisement is very misleading. This is basically Marlo method with something extra added to be able to show the spread before and after to face the same way. So in that sense the gaff that allows one to do this is something new but otherwise the routine is pretty much directly from Marlo. So it is pretty much as clean as the demo shows but is it worth having to carry extra deck for this effect only? Not for me.

Interesting gimmick- this gimmick allows you to show a clean deck or with minimal handling hand out a deck ( not necessary obviously) at end. A similar trick was recently on Penn & Teller - this latest release allows you to cleanly show the ‘selected’ card at end front and back.

Wait, so this deck can't be used for anything else? Is it in any way similar to the proton deck?

The deck is a normal deck.... can be examined by spectator after a little reset.... great piece of magic

From penguim magic:
I bought this from a dealer other than Penguin, but I buy a lot from Penguin, and they have the best forum in my opinion for trick reviews. The two stars is not for the trick itself, but rather, in my opinion, a sneaky deal by the manufacturer of this trick. First, the trick is not bad and the method is good. It's not complicated and works and looks like it does in the trailer. I like the trick and I think it is a likeable effect for a lot of magicians. The deck is gimmicked, but could also be used for other effects, if caution and care is used. Secondly, the problem I have with what I received is that the manufacturer makes the gimmicked deck out of Bicycle "SECONDS." So you pay the premium price for crappy cards. They even come in the special Bicycle tuck case marked "Seconds." The borders on the deck I received is horrible. There may be 1/4" or more white border on any given end or side and 1/8th of an inch or less on the opposing side. That is for me unacceptable. I don't use cards for exhibition that look uneven and does not have even borders. Some of the backs are not only heavily uneven borders, but are also printed on the back crooked, or angled. So it is my opinion that when a premium price is paid, a premium product should be delivered. These guys turned a trick that could have been good into something not worth purchasing. Sorry they did that, because from here forward I will disregard and pay no mind to any of their products. |

Out of stock. Let’s hope they’ve listened and realised their mistake.
