How accurate is the ad copy?
Very accurate
What's in the box? DVD and a full deck of cards
Key points:
Perfect for strolling performers - "No reset" routine included! Plus a BONUS effect, "To Market" included.
How are the production values:
HD, well taught, and a lot of attention given to this single effect
Is it well made:
Full gimmicked deck Included in Standard Red Bicycle from US Playing Card Company
Is it well taught:
Nice easy pace and Francis' voice is easy to listen to and understand. Gives full credit where credit is due - lots of angles and attention to detail.
My thoughts (what I personally liked/disliked):
I love that this is a gimmicked triumph effect, I know you can do a triumph with a standard deck, but this little addition that Francis makes takes it to a whole new level.
Storage? Does it "pack flat?"
Only the size of a single deck of cards
How practical is this in the real world? Does it "play big?"
How original is this idea? The triumph effect is 100 years old and the gimmick deck is also very close to a few other trick decks, but the marriage of the two that Francis has devised is what sets this apart from all the rest
Overall score: 10/10
