Is Distortion worth it?
- Thread starter trebmalrolyat
- Start date
It is worth it to those who will slay specs using it. Its not worth it to those who have to ask. Simple enough right?
This would probably be only limited by the presentation it is given for it. They can see it move right in front of their eyes, can't be anymore bizarre than that, unless pips starts flying around off the card... But I would say yes definitely that Distortion should be worth every penny and more. If I was crazy enough, I would put my Black Ghost on the line to prove that Distortion is one of the great effects, but since I'm not crazy, I'm keeping my Black Ghost.

What's wrong with red back bicycles? If a gimmick is only made in a certain brand of cards, LIVE WITH IT.
I remember reading a post from a user saying how black tigers, screams out gaffed to spectators. Wanting a moving pip version in black tiger would probably give the spectator that extra push to say without a doubt that it is a gaffed card. Of course it wont always be the case, but a normal red or blue back card which pretty much everyone can relate to, is seen on the norm. Pulling out a black tiger, viper, or even a guardian, would have some spectators question it from the beginning of the presentation.

Who cares if you can only do it with a single card? And red backed bikes are standard fare, its the safest bet to go with. I'm sure the gimmick will be produced in other variants eventually.
There are a lot of effects that rely on using one single card, and that doesn't make the effect any worse, if the effect is powerful enough use it.... we're here to entertain.

Let me start off by saying: I do not own Distortion...yet.
From what I have seen, this effect is outstanding. I have been looking for an effect like this for a while, I saw a magician do this a long time ago and It BLOW ME AWAY. His patter sucked and it still hit me in the gut. I may even still have the bruse.
So I have been looking for a similar effect since then. And I have found it!
This is on top of my list of things to buy when I can.
So is it worth it? I think so...because I have seen the reactions you can get with a card effect of this sort.
Try it on for size, you may for in love.

He's got it in one.
Hey - guys. I just want to let you know that we are already having some made up with different back designs - eventually you guys will be able to choose.
thanks wayne sounds good to me. However, i find using redbacks chill. so i'll stick w ith that. again, great work wayne.
I really enjoy the red riderbacks. However I do use alot of different decks. Once the official release has happened (Oct. 1st), we will definately start getting more options.
OH!, so there is different backs on the way, everyone is now happy, well for now anyways. Hope to see a Ghost back version. All my ghost decks have been waiting to be used and Distortion is the perfect trick for me to use with them.

I don't think they'll be making and Ghost-backed cards. That's more or less just advertising for Ellusionist, and it's probably copyrighted anyhow.
Opps, thats probably true, forgot a bit, its not linked together.

"I can't pull a rabbit out of my hat if I don't wear hats..."I think Distortion is worth it. I haven't received it yet, but when I saw the preview...I was like . Hehe... When you can punch a spectator in the gut with an awe dropping trick like distortion...I think the price is perfect.
If you practice...you can make something easy look crazy.
