It's a good point
I seldom do sponge balls --but once in awhile I pull them out and voila--everyone loves them!

What makes OOTW great is the structure of the routine, and the anticipation when the spec starts to suspect what's happening but they can't confirm it yet. This new routine has none of that. It's a monte. A bar bet. Do it over and over and make the specs more frustrated each time, but to my mind there's no narrative structure or real wonder here, just a little mechanical mystery.
I am not against this product. If this suits your style, go and have fun. I am against marketing it as a "better" version of OOTW. It's like choreographing one good stage fight and calling it "The ultimate version of Hamlet, without all the boring suspense and thoughtful stuff!

If they both camne out today - brand new and never before seen/known
Which would you buy [?] From the demo for this - I would get OOTW As a spec - this looks like a mgic trick - you don't know what's going on, but something is happening as he's showing us each card... That's what I thought when I saw the demo It just looked wrong the performer sliding the crads off... I would probably go B, B, B, then R - just to see if there was a difference in how he handled the cards... hmm |

I would get this 100 percent. The traditional OOTW is relatively boring to a spec, compared to this.

I completely disagree. It's one of the most suspenseful routines in the canon. If the specs aren't literally jumping out of their seats to see the final reveal, that's on you. If you can't do 2 minutes and keep it interesting, I guess this whizz-bang "gotcha" presentation will do, but OOTW is not boring unless you are.

I really like this. OOTW is a routine I use all the time, I have multiple versions and various presentation themes for it.
But it is difficult to do walk-around and without a table. This provides a excellent solution. Tony |

Could you make this up and do it with a large bicycle deck?

Messing around with a deck this afternoon you can do this effect which a regular deck and a get ready.
Maybe not as clean but works just same in spectators eyes. |

What about half the deck Offworld, half the deck stripper then you can give it to shuffle,
show they are truly mixed, do the setup in 1 second thanks to the striper and go on the classic OTW |
