So, It was my birthday on sunday and my dad ais he'd get me something from my, I had been eyeing this baby for awhile now, and heard that it was maybe the best trick EVER put out, and a reputation maker. It's quite the pricey trick and I was hesitant to buy it for my birthday, because I also wanted to either get that or Panic, I bought this(and a deck of gamblers, another review, hint hint) and I couldn't open it until the sunday of my birthday (was purchased on the Saturday. I open the package, and all I can say is, wow.
Effect:
NO CUE CARDS! NO MEMORIZATION! NO MNEMONICS! NO LEAD-IN EFFECT! NO CARDS TO HOLD! TOTALLY ANGLE PROOF!
You display a leather gypsy envelope and a beautiful old gypsy fortune telling deck. Each has a fortune printed right on its face.
You ask the spectator to utter the name of a special someone to create a relaxed fortune telling atmosphere. Let's say her special name is "ROSE".
You then do a short three cad reading for your spectator. The first card predicts good luck. The second card indicates an impending mystery. The third card hints that this impending lucky mystery might have something to do with an envelope. Could it be referring to the leather envelope lying on the table...?
You open the leather envelope and remove a small packet of fortune telling cards. Their backs are a different color than the cards you've been using!
You slowly and cleanly deal the cards from the envelope on to the table. The first card has a large hand drawn "R" on its back. The next card an "O". The next an "S". The final card an "E"...spelling ROSE!
No one says anything for a very long time. Then a single word escapes your spectator's lips..."HOW?"
12/10
Instuctions
Everything you need and more, read through this once and it was amazingly easy to follow, no go-back-and-reread moments for me, fear indepth and straight forward, gives insight on some area and a big bonus is the patter it provides as this tricks NEEDS great patter to get the best reactions.
10/10
Gimmicks
You get a custom made wallet and deck of fortune teller cards, both nicely made, cards and the plastic coated and somewhat resemble the way Jerry's fan, i dunno why maybe cause the small border, you'll know what I mean, nothin' special about the stock but they do what they need to do and are very clever.
The wallet is quite a beauty, real leather and very well made, very mystical and mysterious looking. Perfect for the presentaton needed.
The gimmicks are well hidden and can't be seen.

Method
Wow, genious, genious, genious, genious, genious. Amazing, easy, practical I LOVE IT. I can't wait to do this trick, I had a vague idea on how it MIGHT be accomplished, it's that on crack and more. It's great, love love love it.
10/10
Difficulty
Easy, no sleights at all and just requires basic stuff, its all about the patter. Without patter the effect is nothing too special, but still kickass. Essentailly self working if you look at it that way.
Overall
hype doesn't fail, an amazing trick at every aspect, the best effect I own easily, but it might not be for everyone, its more for the storytelling type, I couldn't see Dan and dave lovers loving this but its still ****ing amazing
