I've had a chance to road test this routine for the past week, and it's been such a treat to perform. I've used some variation of OOTW for several years, but Separation Anxiety is quickly becoming my favorite. Only using 20 cards keeps things moving along, I love not having to use reference cards for red & black, the second phase of this routine beautifully builds off of the first phase, and the psychology reveal at the end is a terrific capper. Can't recommend this enough!

I love that DB clip. The look on the undertaker's face shows how hard the effect hit home. He was absolutely stunned.

I purchased 'Separation Anxiety' hesitantly as I know a few versions of OOTW that use 20 cards and are very practical mind blowers. I like Bruce's method but will still use Daryl's 'Out of this Hemisphere' and J.K. Hartman's 'World Class' most of the time. They both are equally (if not more)deceptive than Bruce's and Ed Marlo, Sid Lorraine, Michael Weber, Ken Krenzel, Jon Racherbaumer and Larry Jennings' contributions to Daryl's trick provides great variety and all for just $10. But yes, I agree that Bruce's illusion is very good.

Here's my review on Separation Anxiety:
I'm never doing another OOTW. Fast, easy, fun, baffling, and a kicker that feels like mind control instead of a card trick. The way the second part slightly differs from the first part is genius. Should be called OOTWTF. Why can't all stuff be this simple and practical! |

While there will always be a move or a discrepancy in OOTW, the moves seem particularly unnatural here. I've studied a lot of variations on the the Curry classic and have yet to see anything that improves upon Lorayne's Impromptu OOTW.

Hmmm, Lorayne huh? I'm not sure if I've seen it but am definitely intrigued. Do you remember where you learned it or where it's available?

After playing with Bruce's illusion I can definitely see it's merits. It is the most self-working variation. I made up a set as per his suggestions, put it in a nice little wallet and tossed it inside my packet trick pocket. I do, and if you're new to this premise, recommend learning Daryl's trick and if you're going to fork out this much money for a single card illusion, then what's an extra $10? The reason I say this is that Bruce's trick needs more table space to perform and Daryl's trick doesn't, and it's a great trick and value. So that way, just for $10 more you'll have two mind blowing packet versions of OOTW to broaden your magical horizon with muggles.

Does Separation Anxiety have ANY sleight of hand?

Does Separation Anxiety have ANY sleight of hand? Depends on how you define "sleight of hand". If you mean, "something happening that the audience doesn't see", then the answer is "Yes." If you mean, "some tricky/difficult manipulative card move", then the answer is "No."

Thank you. That answers my question. One more before I purchase: can the performer ensure that the outcome is 1) ALWAYS that there are 10 cards in both piles, and 2) ALWAYS separated by black and red (or at least perceived that way by the subject)?
