Absolutely BRILLIANT. Being able to throw away cards during the elimination process has got so much scope for comedy. Definitely one of my best buys.
Was a bit hesitant in getting this as I already knew it was just a OOTW with fancier cards but I liked the look of the cards and went for it and I am mainly glad I did. The tutorial video has 3 versions and the third one was new to me so it was great to have a new way of presenting it. The cards come in a nice drawer type box and you get 52. You don't really need that many as 26 is enough (or just 14 for the last trick) but its great to have the extras and with a bit of thought they can probably be utilised for other tricks. The images on the cards are mostly good. I like all of the angels cards but a lot of the demon ones are very dark and in lower light it can be hard to distinguish what is on them without looking closely. Also, most of the tutorial is done using a completely different set of cards of Victorian kids that are either happy or sad. It makes no difference to the trick itself but it would have been nice if the tutorial actually used the product you purchased. The Victorian kid cards looked brilliant though and I want a set but have no idea what they are called. Throughout the tutorials there is no mention of the pdf printout that is included but I presume it is just a prop to make the whole effect more eerie. Would have been nice if it was mentioned though. Overall good value but I have deducted a star for the lazy tutorial using a different product.
The service and speed of delivery from Monster Magic was second to none. First time I’ve used them, but it will now be my absolute Go To.
I bought the Elysian Duets Marked Deck (Red), the first marked deck I’ve owned and it is superb. My eyes aren’t the best, but it is still so easy to use. Steve
Craig does a brilliant job in not only explaining the routine but giving lots of alternative handlings. Quality cards. Expertly delivered with love by Monster magic as always. Nice touch of a card case with it too. The best service.
Guessed how this was done prior to purchase but still worth it. The cards are good quality, its super easy and will certainly be using it during the quite period after the meal at weddings when there is not a lot to photograph (I'm a wedding photographer who does a few tricks if there is not a magician there). Would have been nice if it came in a plastic wallet rather than an envelope with the name of the trick on it but I have some knocking around and you may want to get one if you purchase this. Overall usable, will hopefully get good reactions and easy to do. I'm off for a pint now to try it out on a few folks.
