I've yet to try the haundted deck with loops but maybe I'll give it a go!!
One thing to know is that they WILL break on you. Fortunately, now, they come in packs of 8 instead of 5 like they used to. It's worth it, though, and there are SO many other things you can do as well. You can also look into Legacy Thread. They sell a system for tying them and I've heard several people speak very highly of their thread. It's more costly up front, but might save you money in the long run if you start using them all the time.
I'm done hijacking this thread and thought I should contribute to the original conversation now lol
I personally felt severely ripped off with OSYN. The switch is good and so is Mark Calabrese. I'll use it. But the "gimmicks" it comes with are already lying around my house. Sitting right next to me when I made the purchase no less. The advertised trick was "any card named appears." Well, in order for that to be possible they made use of The Advocate. THAT'S HALF THE METHOD. I've seriously never been more pissed off at a magic video. I know for a fact this is AT LEAST the third time Daniel Madison has re-released The Advocate and I hated the thing from the start. Mark's switch is great, don't get me wrong. I've been performing Jay Sankey's Paperclipped off/on for years and it made it 100x cleaner. It's the price tag (probably due to the fact that you're actually getting OSYN as well as The Advocate) and the fact that they deceptively conned me into buying the same ****ing thing again.
