Paid for streamline yesterday, and it arrived this morning (best despatch ever, or what?). This is going straight into my act, or will be a perfect effect for three spectators. I watched the vid. on it, which prompted me to purchase it. I congratulate Brian for his thinking, and trust me, this wil leave your audience silent (they'll be thinking too hard to applaud). A very good effect, that deserves to be in my repertoire. The price? Absolutely fair. When it comes to the price of effects, remember McDonald's $100 aces? As a professional magician, knowing that just maybe, an inquisitive non-magician may shell out for something outside of their interests to discover the 'How', it is too cheap.
I applaud Alakazam, for their amazingly rapid despatch of the effect, and I will definitely be using you again (although I make Pat Page look like Peter Stringfellow, when it comes to spending money on magic-lol). I also applaud you, Brian, for your contribution to Magic. Thank you, from a very happy customer.

I note that card collection sell thin bicycle cards. Has anyone tried them? I'm thinking playing with variations of this (excellent) routine. I've asked Card Collection a few questions.

... oops forget my last entry, not thinking straight, that wouldn't work. I'm off for a lie down..

I have just bought the Streamline version of Trilogy and tried it out on three members of my family at the same time and they said it was the best trick they had ever seen. An essential element which really made the trick so amazing for them was that fact that the deck was in view during the whole routine.

I strongly recommend the streamline version - 1 deck to carry and by being able to keep it in view from the start makes this trick the success it is.

Hope this is of some help to anyone who can't decide between the two versions.

I've never ever had a problem with the two deck version and introducting the deck late on in the presentation. I just LOVE the routine.

Despite the good reviews for the streamlined version it looks like this is one of the very very few times that I'm holding out against my CUPS

I'm with dat - I am more than happy with the unstreamlined version and prefer to use bikes consistently in my set.

Same here alway's loved Trilogy and alway's will, this will be a staple in my act probably for ever and I to have never been tempted into the streamlined version simply because I love the effect as it is, and the reactions are amazing so there is no need to change for me anyway.

I made up a stage version of Trilogy recently using Jumbo Bikes - a bit pricey for the two decks (one regular and one with the necessary you know what ) but it was well worth the effort and cost.

I performed it just before Christmas and it went down a treat.

If you're interested I got the necessary jumbo decks from card 4 magic.
