I'm luck enough to have both one of David's and one of Vic's sets.

The Gemini Artefacts "Pro" set is a thing of exquisite beauty, but David's more 'rustic' set is incredibly well produced and the inexact cutting of the cards provides a couple of unexpected advantages.

Mine should be here tomorrow. I may also make a set of my own, I just don't have the time I used to have, and I wanna perform with em!

Why did I wait so long to get these?

Hi, First time post, Just recived my "AB" cards from Gemini and have to say I Love them, The print quality is tip top and the plates look lovely, they are printed onto nice thick board and the manual is just stuffed full of diffrent approaches and handlings. It took just one week for them to arrive from the states which I think is really good. (I'm in the UK) Value for money 10/10.

I have never waited more than 3 or 4 days for anything from Gemini Artifacts unless it was being customized and even then never more than two weeks. Vic will bend over backwards to get you your stuff and it is never less than perfect. I have at least 7, if not more, items from him.

Strange, but when this effect is done w/ New Yorkers in the middle of Winter, virtually every spec looks at these green-naturalistic cards and will put them in the Positive/benign pile.
You end up with 15-18 in Posiive pile !
AND they REMEMBER placing the HEMP(Marijuana) card in the Negative pile !

Well. No they won't, if you perform it properly. Do you have a set? Do you know this for a fact?

I remove hemp card for ootw style presentation because ppl have a preconcieved notion of it and remember where they put it. I also tell them that when they are done the piles should be about even. This effect slays and is hands down my go to for ootw

Well.. I wouldn't be posting if I had not been in possession of a deck and doing the routine.

ZoOpDoG is absolutely correct about the Hemp card.
Aside from the seasonality effect I have pointed out,Latin specs have a definite affinity to color in this routine. The "Trailing Nighshade" and "Devils and Angels" cards are the only cards in the deck with prominent red pigments in the deck. Psychologically these cards seem to bring forth a positive hit on the spec.
Further, they (along w/the Hemp card) stand out as something they remember in their decision process.
I have done the routine 14 times in the past 10 days,these are my observations.
Do what thou wilt..
Cheers !

ZoOpDoG - I tend to just state that "... in the Plant kingdom, herbs use color and form to achieve it's ends to procreate.
This has helped to even the lopsided tendency in the deck.
I thought about the programming of the spec to state that the results should be "about even".
This sounded more like a force to my mind..
Cheers
