Is this his take on Al Koran's 5 Star Prediction? If so, it is both fair and brilliant . . . a wonderful routine!

I prefer KK myself and have used it nearly everyday for 8 years or so. That's a lot of use! I cannot speak higher of this routine. I have only seen a demo of Bang On, and personally, I was not all that impressed.

For what its worth, I also love being OBO, as most people who know their KK very well do!

Best,

Nemo 1500 you can not compare with KK or BangOn. Nemo 1500 is very strong and of course you could combine it with BangOn. You wouldn't need a Koran Deck. You can compare KK and BangOn and it is a matter of taste. I prefer BangOn. Jan

Is this the trick Marc Oberon performs on the Session DVD?

Nemo is different than KK or BangOn because the spectator stops at a drawn card to match the card you put in the wallet, versus simply calling out a card. That is significant to magicians who are aware of force decks like Koran.

But, I agree that, to a layman, Nemo plays similar and is much stronger because it makes no difference to a layman whether or not they call out a card or stop at a card drawn from a deck. Heck, you can show the spectator that they could have stopped at any number of different cards surrounding the chosen one.

In Nemo the revelation is one card in the wallet, no envelopes or awkward movements. The spectator can open the wallet and turn the card over. The wallet can even be examined. But Nemo goes one step further: Its a double revelation, because the card is permanently stamped on the back of the wallet! It simply leaves the spectator with no clue how you knew.

I would rank em' from the top: Nemo 1500, Bang On, then KK. The KK "one off" makes it a little "odd" to me.
