Manufacturer's Write Up:

A shuffled deck is handed to the spectator. They remove a card from anywhere in the deck. Without looking at, or touching the cards the magician is able to name the color of the card. This is repeated as many times as you wish. The magician then starts to separate all the black cards from all the red cards without looking at the deck. For the finale, the deck is shuffled again and now the spectator separates the colors in their hands.

How accurate is the ad copy? This is pretty much what happens - although this is not a "true" shuffled deck.

What's in the box? A DVD

Key points: Entry level magic

How are the production values: Good, shot well, nice angles and nice location.

Is it well taught: Alex takes his time and gives you everything you need to know.

Storage? Does it "pack flat?" only a deck of cards is used

Does it "play big?" I love the "out of this world" scenario and Alex's opener is a killer

How practical is this in the real world? (can it really be done?) Absolutely this is a true worker (with some practice).

Overall score: 9/10
