I finally received my Peek Pack by Brian Gillis that I pre-ordered in late November. The method is different from what I expected and I mean that in a good way. This is definitely a "keeper". No reset-great method and practical for all venues. It's not the most inexpensive deck but the cards won't be taking a beating since they aren't genuinely shuffled (false shuffles are fine but totally unnecessary within the context of this routine). Workers will appreciate this very much. It's simple to execute- surefire and fooling- highly recommended

Hey guys,
I havent seen his Penguin Live but even if he does teach it you would still need to purchase the deck instructional video is top notch and to the point the pack should last you forever if you take care of it you might need to change out the box now and again easy to use deck stronger and more direct than tossed out deck real fooler you can use your imagination if you wish to add like a prediction to it or even card to seat or different colored back etc etc worker brian has been doing this for over 25 years alex alejandro ps buy it and thank me later

They show him performing this in the Penguin Live trailer but it's not included in the lecture.
Really want to get this as I'm a big fan of Brian gillis.. but hoping it's more than just 6 s**rt cards glued to normal cards. |

Brian Gillis is awesome.
Can anyone compare this to a pack released by Docc Hilford, that, unfortunately, can't remember the name ?

I don't own this one but Docc Hilford's is called the Cassandra Deck. I've used it regularly in the past. Great deck, lots of routines. However, the revelations on this trick seem more direct.

Hi everyone,
here is my review of Peek Pack by Brian Gillis. Hope it helps Best, Kaan |

Good review Kaan.
I will add a few thoughts: 1. There is a knack for rifling the cards that needs to be practiced. I recorded myself doing the riffle in front of a mirror and camera and was able to fine tune my riffling to get the desired outcome. Improper rifling can give the spectator more than one outcome. 2. Some spectators will see a different card than intended. Brian and Greg admits that's possible even though within the presentation, you remind the spec not to think of the card on the front and to only think of a card they see when you riffle. With the possibility of missing one or two spectator's cards out of six, the impact is diminished. Of course, some will say by missing, it makes the magic stronger. Maybe. But I prefer 100% hit. For $45, I think it's overpriced. You can partially make this yourself without gimmicks, but why bother. Overall, I think there are other card effects that play stronger than this, but for Brian and Greg - this fits them like a glove and it's such a pleasure to see Brian kill with this. |

Love this. I saw Brian do this 30 years ago, couldn't get him to talk so duplicated the effect using m**t m****y and a real time s***k. Brian's is so much easier.

Hey guys
I was going to sell mine, but Jared came up with some alternate handlings that are brilliant One of the handlings I am now using and you don't have to riffle the deck Very clean and very powerful Uses a well known principle plus the Peek Pack Alex

I'm planning to eventually video tape my handling ideas for this deck and send them to Gregory for his review. There many excellent uses for this deck besides those outlined on the download. I have been KILLING with this deck and feel that my additions add to the deception and make performing this easier. These changes will also benefit stage/parlor performances by not having to even think about wanting or needing to execute a deck switch.
