Great cards and a great price. Better get them while they are available. There are so many things you can do with these cards. Some good ideas are included. Excellent investment.

This deck is great! Full of possibilities!
You'd be doing your magic and your spectators a great disservice if you pass up on these. The reactions to the sight of the card are excellent! To them, its an impossibility. Furthermore, you let them keep it. How many gaff cards can you do that with? Take care, Logan

They can sign these and they wind up restored in a funky way? That is crazy!

Although the picture shows you a 'Before' & 'After' scenario, implying that the card starts out a certain condition and ends in another, isn't exactly what happens. Well, it WOULD be to the spectator, but not to us. In other words, the regular card you force and start out with has to be switched with the Oops card. That being said, the routines provided in Antimony and in the booklet would have the switch incorporated into the routine. I advise anyone who is considering this deck to NOT BE PUT OFF that a switch is involved, you WILL be missing out if you think that way. In fact, you'd be missing out on a lot of magic if you ignored or disregarded all effects using a switch, i.e. Bill in Lemon, most Torn and Restored card routines, coin in bottle effects, etc. I personally perform Osterlind's Original Inside Out card climaxing with the reveal of the Oops card. The switch incorporated into this routine is seamless and effective. I, and I'm sure a lot of other magicians using this deck of cards, have gotten nothing but gasps of amazement from this. The best part is, this piece of strange that they see in front of their eyes, they can keep. I say again, if you love off the wall and totally STRANGE card magic, which leaves a UNIQUE souviner for the spectator, who'll seriously treasure it and remember you by it, you won't regret getting this. Hope this helps ustaad! Take care buddy, Logan

Guys,
Thanks for the kind words about the Oops! cards. I'm also flattered that they received such a nice review from the Café (Steve Brooks) today. I've been getting steady orders for the cards. I'm getting a great response as they get into the hands of working pros and hobbyists. As Steve, Logan and others have mentioned, bizarre T&R plots with these are just the beginning. How about a bizarre color change, using the Erdnase change? Card warps, drunken card themes, etc. I'm revising the Oops! booklet to incoroprate some new ideas that have been given to me by others. Real world responsibilities have delayed the booklet production until later in September. In the meantime, I am including the two Antinomy routines, at no charge, with each Oops! order until the booklet is finished. I'm still honoring the Café offer of 2 full Oops!decks for $9.95 plus $2.00 for shipping. Finally, I'm chatting with a few well known card workers about doing a 8-10 routine DVD with the cards. The DVD would show real world performances and reactions to same. I'll keep you posted but hope to sign on one of the guys in the next month. Thanks again for the comments and support.

Great!! Looking forward for the DVD.
I bought the decks few months ago. It is great card. But I still hasn't received the promised routines notes. At the time I bought it, they said that the notes is not ready and will mail to me next round, which never happened. |

P. S. I must say that the 'semi-review' was EXCELLENT.

Wise Owl,
The routine booklet is forthcoming. I keep getting great suggestions for Oops! card routines so I have held off on final production so as to produce the best, most comprehensive, booklet possible. To further complicate things, in a good way, the booklet may be replaced, or complimented by, a DVD, as I mentioned a few posts up. I'm hoping to finalize an arrangement soon, for the DVD, with a well known cardician. I'll keep you posted and thanks for your interest. Michael Daniels |

Café mambers,
I have been getting many requests for the Oops! routine booklet and want to give you an update. I have decided to go the route of presenting Oops! in a 7-10 routine DVD (deck(s)included). This process will take more time, and $$$, than the booklet. I have had so many good suggestions for routines that I truly believe that a DVD is warranted. Although all effects would utilize the Oops! cards, or card, the variety will be extraordinary. Most of the effects are also very visual - another reason to produce an Oops! DVD. To do the DVD justice, I plan to use a name performer, which rules me out! I'll keep you posted. Feel free to PM me with questions. Thanks for the interest and patience..... In the short term, in an effort to get some more Oops! decks into your hands, I am throwing in a free Oops! deck when you buy two Oops! decks! That's THREE custom gaffed FULL DECKS for the price of two. THREE USPCC red bike gaffed decks for CHEAP!!! Comes with two routines as published in issue #5 of Antinomy magazine (which you should subscribe to if you're not already). Café members, see here...http://innovamagic.com/_wsn/page4.html Happy St. Patty's Day! Thanks, Mike |
