The only reason it states " You can mark the cards while going through the deck" IS JUST A SELLING PLOY ! who would want to do that really ! Punch the cards
in the deck you want to locate for your routine ahead of time 4 Aces, Seperate reds from black cards etc.. & your set to go ! in fact perform a few card tricks & then go into
finding your punch cards for your favorite routine.

I can see lots of cases where you'd want to do it on the fly. I'm confused why so many of you are confused by this. Just as an example, you can have them name 4 different cards, "check" the deck to make sure they're all in there, hand the deck to the spectator and have them shuffle, and then find the very cards they named. That's just a very, very simple version, and I can see lots of other ways you could use this on the fly.

That is true, but why not just give them a little corner crimp? Then the evidence is simple to remove as well. Or just cull them and produce them.
The 50 minute tutorial tries to give a good reason to use the gimmick, but in my opinion none really feel worth the hassle or better than another method already out there.

This is the worse waste of money I have spent in a really long time. Just got this today. I do collect these type of things but imo, it's a joke. I'm an expert on the punch deal but if I want to punch on the fly, I'll still use my th*&^n***. This goes for any other use for the punch.

"The New York Papers," Mark Twain once said,"have long known that no large question is ever really settled until I have been consulted; it is the way they feel about it, and they show it by always sending to me when they get uneasy. "

Buy a book to learn other techniques for finding a card or marking a card.

Now we don't know Pikat's skill level, he might be an experienced card handler, but doesn't have much experience with punching. Sadly there isn't THAT much readily available resources on it.

Yes, you right, thanks for your comment.

I have some experience on card magic... marked deck / control,..

But totally new to punching, so I try to expand my magic skill.

Very useful tool and something you can get into in performance if need be, I am not getting the hate.
