Rating of Trick: Strangly it just scrapes 8... Lets say 7.8...

Down side: Deck is not inspectable, unless switched and this trick is not printed on bikes.

Overall: When I got this trick I knew it was RUBBISH. It was so obvious how it worked. But I tried it one day, and got some really really good reactions. Don't shove this trick in a draw it really does get reactions if performed correctly. Nice.

£2.50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, you can make this with a sharpie and an old deck of bikes for a quid

but if your completly uncreative(like me) then it isnt too bad

I have a (homemade) x-deck in my jacket as an insurance policy for when another card trick goes wrong for whatever reason so I lose a chosen card.. for this purpose it is perfect, because you can seamlessly (and safely) segué into it without your spectator being any the wiser (unless you were doing a signed card trick, but hey, you could try anyway!). It does get good reactions too, but be prepared for grabby spectators.
