And anyway you get a special wallet for the effect. Even I'm sure some will keep moaning that they don't need it since they've got themselves a $500-mother-of-all-wallet-they-can't-leave-house-without.
I know that I will be also a little upset when I watch the DVD knowing I need a blank deck. But it won't flame it as a rip-off. Anyway, it would be lovely if someone can also have their personal review here.

The blank deck is the better routine for the lay audience as they are not familiar with it, but if purchasing one is a problem, just do the other routine !
The wallet is not gimmicked and looks exactly as it should do ie. a wallet to hold business cards. It doesn't take up much room in the pocket and after doing the effect, a card can be given out to a spectator so they can hire you for future events. The reset is instant and the cards are in the spectators hands at the end. It's a really INEXPENSIVE TRICK which also happens to be good. I can't really see what the problem is especially when I have paid a fortune over the years for wallet type tricks. Yes it doesn't have 37 different peek divises or 63 loading devises but who cares, it's a simple, clever and inexpensive way to do a standard effect. Mike Donoghue |

Sure it's easily attainable, but most have to order it, as the corner brick and mortars are not around. "Bill In Lemon" doesn't come with fruit, but easily picked up at any one of the 40 groceries in town. What if you were to purchase the "Vanishing Silk" and only receive the silk (why, surely everyone has a TT, right?). I just feel, like many have expressed in other threads re other products, that selling an incomplete effect that is easily "made complete" by the producer, is below standard. By the way, I also have the utmost respect for these guys, I just won't purchase due to this. |

I see the point being made here. When I ordered the "Prohibition" dvd, it didn't come with the ring, bottle or even the cap! Imagine my surprise when I received the Kozlowski Bill Switch manuscript and it didn't come with a TT or even a bill! And who can forget the times that we ordered the card to wallet and it didn't even come with a deck of cards! And how can these torn and restored dvds expect me to destroy my own cards.
Why would I be expected to order a blank deck at the same time as ordering this dvd and wallet? That would take an extra mouse click! I hope this business card wallet at least has a voucher so I don't have to pay for my own business cards, or that would be taking it too far! |

Am I correct in saying that the prediction card is the same all the time?
Thanks, RNK

You can't win can you? Release it with the deck for an extra few quid and some people moan that they have a blank deck and are ripped off and forced to buy one with this effect.
Don't include it and have this. You guys are unbelievable. |

....oops, "rip-off" may have been too strong, I apologize for that! Disappointing may have been a better choice.
It does seem strange though, in a trick where the spectator climax is a blank deck, that it would not be included. Other similar marketed tricks, "13" from Howard Hamburg is a good example, comes complete and ready to go to perform the effect as described. |

Maybe we should move this on with the following;
This trick does not contain a blank deck, the choice to buy is yours and yours alone. Keep the questions and reviews coming........ |

The real test is to do it at 4 events over the weekend (at least 15 times at each) and then see if it's any good. If it gets a good response and it's easy to get in and out of then the small amount of money paid for it is well worth it.
Also as you should be charging a decent fee to the companiies who employ you, I don't think 6 or 7 pound for a blank deck even comes into it. Mike Donoghue |

So no one wants to say if the prediction card is the same or has to be the same everytime????

I would love to see an uncut demo.
Not to work out the method but just to see how natural the handling actually is. Then if I like if I will buy it. |

Will do Luke, once I receive it. I ordered from Mark, so It'll take a week I guess from the U.S. Noticed yesterday it's on WMS!

Just received mine from Mark at JB Magic
It was sent just 5 days ago and Mark actually subsidises postage to the U.K unlike some Magic Dealers like Hocus Pocus who charge what they like. Great trick easy to do and very well priced for what you receive. RNK in answer to your question the Blank deck routine which is the one I like best. You can have any card you prefer and can change it each time you perform Recomend this trick highly and Mark and Tricia Masons service is brilliant |

Brehaut, I just received this, and would characterize it as self-working. I think it should play really well to lay folks... recommended.
