Ian Wong has worked in magic shops for the past six years. Over that time, he has had countless interactions with clients, amateurs, and professional magicians. He has worked intimately with classic and modern magical props and has learned ways to utilize them effectively and in new ways.

If you're a magician, doing magic is normal, but to have a spectator do the magic, that's a miracle in the audience's mind. It's a magical memory for everyone.

Over many years of performing, I have developed four astonishing routines from a single deck of cards. No matter if it's one person or an audience of many, all spectators are involved, engaged and experience an impossible effect.
* Easy to learn
* Free choice
* Legitimate shuffle
* 100% works
* Four routines included but unlimited possibilities
The Four Routines:

The Woodpecker
The magician demonstrates his extraordinary slight of hand and memory and will transfer his magical powers to the spectator so that they can pick the chosen card out of a dribbling deck of cards by themselves.

Double ACAAN (Any Card at Any Number)
The magician will use an audience member as an assistant to find other audience members' cards at an unspecified place in the deck. Three audience members get to participate in the effect in three different ways.

Impossible Coincidence
In this routine, the spectator will do all of the work. This routine is a hybrid of two classic effects: any card at any number and double coincidence. This effect is so astonishing that the spectator won't see the obvious in plain sight.

Do as I Do
This routine is the most entertaining and the cleanest Do as I Do version that you've ever seen. By just adding a coin, this routine becomes funnier and more practical.

Anyone got this yet?

It's on presale, and not released until next week, so guessing the answer is no...

12 October release. If these effects are, as advertised, easy to learn, then I’m in.

They don't say a word about the quality of the cards. I would like to see close-up pictures of the back of the cards and the card box.

Cards aren’t Bikes. Some odd looking back design. Unfortunate choice.

I like the back design. I’ve never seen non bike decks as an issue personally.

As a one-off, non bike decks are not an issue.

But if you're doing a set, it's even more powerful if the spectators believe this is the same shuffled deck you've been using all performance, so you do a deck s****h. With this deck that's not possible -- you have to overtly switch to a new deck which screams "trick deck".

You could easily make the deck up in Bicycle cards so I wouldn't let that put you off.

That’s a fair point. I’m thinking as a one trick hobbyist.

I feel the same way as emyers99 and CardGuyMike. It would be better if it uses a common back design. However, if you can make up the deck yourself, I am in.

This seems to just be a Svengali deck.

You probably have the cards you need already.
The deck isn’t revolutionary.
If you like the routines get it and use your own cards if you prefer.

Ah yes, the ad does say that he has learned new ways to work with classic and modern magic props.

I wonder how examinable this deck is. I’d have much preferred rider backs.

You’ve obviously not seen the demo I presume.

I have seen the demo and I know someone who has it.

Ok, so are you confirming that this is merely a Svengali deck?

That's what they said and it seems to be from the trailer. There are no uncut performances. Everything they say in the description is possible/ has been done before with a Svengali deck.

Some people are saying that Boris Wild used it on Fool Us. If he did, it looks very good.
