Brainwave Deck

Postby AJ82 » May 24th, '06, 10:05



Hi, I have recently been looking at a brainwave deck and wondered if anyone has used one. I am not that in to gaff decks but I like the look of this one so I was hoping someone would have used it and could let me know what they think.

Magic is real, just look around you, some of the most amazing things have no reason, no explanation but are very real.

As it's not really an honest to God review you want, it might better off placed in Support & Tips. However I'm sure the mods will move it if it's wrong :)

In answer to the original question...

I have a Brainwave deck, and I think it's fantastic. I normally take it out with me.

You can use it for a million and one things...
Well. Maybe not that many, but a fair few.

I've opened a set with it before "If I told you to pick any card from a deck, which one do you think you'd pick?" then they name and it and you tell them that you'd want them to put it back in face up. Spread through and show their card IS the only one face up :D
You can use it as mentalism, as an out if a trick goes wrong, or you can do the whole "I'm handing you an ID. Take it out of the box, shuffle it, look through and find one card" blah blah blah.

There's hardly anything to remember, and generally they handle very smoothly

All in all... a worthwhile purchase :D

You wont find much better anywhere and it's nothing - a rigmarole with a few bits of paper and lots of spiel. That is Mentalism

Bit late now but you may want to have a quick look at the ID as well - same idea but a bit different as it were. There are a lot of arguments for both ways but I personally prefer the ID ;).

yeah same. i rather prefer the invisble deck because you can sort of end of cleaner in a way. and you can do more than one effect with the ID rather than the Brainwave deck

?!~

For crying out loud, the msn button under my name is to talk about magic with me, NOT A FREE MAGIC GIVEAWAY LINK. dont abuse it

Kati, you will probably like the Jumbo version better (and not very expensive)
