Personal Comment: Lots of setup, considering that a key card would work almost the same way. It would still be self working. And after a glimpse any shuffle may happen. So why the whole work... Because some need that. Not me. Thanks. But I gotta give the routine one big pro. It will fool fellow magicians.

Personal Comment: Tricky to pull of, but the method is genius. let me explain. Instructing a spectator to do what you say requires that the spectator is not willing to screw with you. It also requires that he doesn't mess up by mistake. Also... sticking with the structure given in the book, there is plenty of doubtful work done by the magician. You COULD take back the mixed packet from the spectator and switch it underneath the table for a stacked one. You don't do that, but you could. Therefore it is a bit weak I think. So this trick requires an unusual balance of trust on both sides. And this is where most magicians would fail. And those who don't are too far advanced in magic to still need this trick. So this is one of those tricks that is great for magicians, if you perform for magicians. And if you do, you better go ahead explaining it right away so the magic buddies can also get a kick out of the method.

Personal Comment: There are tons of version of Paul Curry's effect. This is among the better ones. I like it. The methods seems bold, because it is. But if you take a look at yesterdays effect which basically sets you up for this, you can see it is well covered. It is hard to believe that after T.N.T. the deck is not in some mixed up condition.

Personal Comment: This is bloody brilliant. Not only is it selfworking but it also has a nice built in dramatic structure. You are basically all open when you take away your layers. The effects seems even more impossible the further it goes. The method will make you smile. Big smile! It also sets you up for a variety of tricks. Most notably "Out of this World".
