If your going to use it, i find that you can't just simply have the spectator select a card and then you reveal it through a series of questions. Your going to have to have a bigger finish, just like Derren Brown did with Smoke. If you don't have an ending like that and you just try and get the name of the card then the deck doesn't really have a good effect unless its the first or second card you reveal. With all the phishing that goes on with 'is it a black card?' or what have you, it really won't get your spectator thinking much of it. To them it will just be lucky guesses and too many questions. Some of you might agree with that and some of you might not but thats just my take on it all!
In conclusion - its all about presentation!...but you knew that already!
I cannot agree totaly with you. If in fact you can predict a chosen card with 2 or 3 questions I think that is positively amazing. After 2 questions you may have it narowed to suit (13 to one odds). Many times after with Mindpower you can get it quicker than that especially on multiple predictions. Two no's gives a prediction.
