just bought The Grail and unlike many others, I don't think this trick is as great as one might suspect. Am I really the only one?
The "secret" is actually the first thing that came to my mind when I first saw the performance of the trick. The deck is definitely not examinable! (in spite of what is said here on this review), the trick can't be done twice to the same audience, and the "easy" move looks very obvious to the sceptical spectator, especially when he/she calls out the number 1 or 52.
It's true that it leaves you quite clean (unlike Knock em Dead) which is nice, but the deck can't be shuffled in advance.
With the time spent on practising the move and the memory work that needs to be done, you could as well memorize a whole deck which is, in my opinion, far more useful.
Also, I don't really see why people call it a "gaffed deck"...

ps: I'm not saying it's a bad trick! Just saying it's not as great as the reviews sometimes put forward.
