Hi Mark,

This looks awesome, just a quick question does it have to be used with Bicycles, as I normally use Phoenix brand cards?

Either way I have a ton of ideas and applications that this will be ideal for, I have lots of tricks that only require a quarter memorized stack and to be able to let the spectator shuffle this freely, and still have control of my memorized stack is amazing!

Any cards can be used.

Edit to clarify - You can make the gimmick for any deck, and it is a pretty simple thing to do.

Thanks for your answer Mark. I will wait for some reviews (mainly due to not being able to pay yet, rent was yesterday).

Gotta get your priorities right. Rent, magic, food.

In the live video demo I did notice that the spectator's "stack" was maintained throughout the sloppy wash procedure Smile
That is a good thing !

Is this similar to Michael Webber's work on maintaining a stack?

No, the methods are quite different. Similar I suppose in the sense that he maintains a stack during the shuffle. Different in the sense that we have different ways of protecting the stack. I may be biased, but I believe mine is more versatile, easier to reset, and better hidden.

This looks great. Knowing Mark and how he pays the bills by performing, this is going to be good. Not to mention I know Mark has been busy working on this for the last several years. When I perform, most people cannot shuffle so I resort to this washing style. After doing a shuffle like this, then producing 13 cards in a suit, that would KILLLL. Even just having a set of 4 or 5 cards (poker or aces) this will still kill.

What really, really annoys me is when certain magic creators only pop their heads in here when they’re selling something. Smile Smile Smile

I’m trying to figure out what the complaint is here. You Can’t complain about the video or the product so you complain About my frequency of usage of the Magic Café?
You just reminded me why I never go on here unless I’m promoting something.

Amen brother


Hey Mark..... as far as I am concerned....
I had no complaints about the product....as a matter of fact I think it is a great idea for those who want to perform Lenart Green style slop shuffles without putting the same time to practice.
More importantly, I would like to thank you for the private video showing a full, uncut performance.

I still feel that ALL magic demos need to have an uncut performance. Audience reactions are more distracting than useful and the special effects are not required. A quality routine or technique will stand on it's own merits.
I appreciate your responsiveness

Just got it and watched part of the long download with explanation.
The tool looks great and can be used for different situation. Regarding the trick itself I actually don’t know if is anything new.on the market. Reminds me a lot fan white x jimmy falon card trick.
Overall a great tool for greats trick ... not that original but still solid.

Which part isn’t original? The method or the trick? Because the trick itself was never claimed to be. It is the gimmick that is being highlighted as new and original. In the demo I say you can use it to make your preexisting effects stronger. And Dan White’s trick on Fallon is called “shufflebored” by Simon Aronson.
Seems like you don’t know enough to say if something is new or old or original or not.

The gimmick is original. The trick is derivative but what’s possible is only possible with my gimmick

Not that Mark needs my help, but to back up his point - the way I intend to use this has nothing to do with what was in the demo at all, but I am not sure it could be achieved as cleanly with any other method I know of.

Maybe in the future I'll find a solution that works better for me, but for now this is exactly what I want and need, and it does exactly what it says it does.

Hej Mark
Probably I expressed myself wrong but English is not my mother tongue.... the tool is original, looks well made, invisible and fantastic for those kind of tricks. The trick itself reminds me Dan White trick and of course I didn’t mean it’s the same but has some similarities. And I repeat myself again saying the gimmick is original and ingenious and can help out doing those kind of tricks without any sleigh of hands.

Not sure if this has been asked or not, but how long will the gimmick hold up and is it a)replaceable or b)construct-able?

The gimmick will hold up for an indefinite amount of time. For example the gimmick I currently use has been the same one for the past year and a half.

If you need a new one I believe penguin will have replacements.
