Diminishing Returns

Postby cordenadam » Jun 27th, '06, 16:50



The Effect

The spectator names any card. The named card is removed from the deck and placed aside, the deck is collected up an respread and all the cards appear to have become minature, exept the selected card, the selected card it placed back into the deck, and the cards are collected up and respread and the pack returns to normal size but the selected card turns into a minature, the minature card is taken out and instantly turns back to its original size.


Cost

£10-£16

And variouse othe places just search on goole :)

Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)

1-2

I would say there are no sleights but you must practise with getting the misdirection, and i feel the only way to practise getting the misdirection right is by showing it to someone.

Review

With the trick you get a whole deck but you dont get a box, for some reason, but still, it is an easy affect to perform and the results are amazing when i had this performed on me my jaw dropped, but one bad point is that the deck is too much gimmicked, and afterwards i would think the spectator would like to have a look at the deck, but they cant.


Overall

8.5/10

I think this is a very neet little trick which was worth the money just about, but it looses 1.5 for it being too gimmicked for my liking, but 8.5 for the amzing reactions you will get from the trick

Now there is a card effect i have not used in a long time. It is rather good and the bonus cards are good too.

OH yes sorry you also get a bonus effect with is called the defective deck, so you are buying really 2 card tricks for one price. but still i would only give it 8.5
