The magic is you blanke

What the ad says

A freely chosen card vanishes from the deck.

The deck then turns completely blank while their chosen card appears wherever you want.

This sounds crazy, but watch the trailer. There is no switch happening. This is like our Award Winning effect Get Sharky, but with this extra twist where the deck turns completely blank.

The magician riffles through the deck until the spectator tells him to stop. At this random position the spectator remembers the card.

Without any suspicious moves the magician turns the deck completely blank. (The deck can even be dealt onto the table, one card at a time, as there is no rough and smooth principle involved!)

The magician slowly puts his empty hand into his pocket (or any other location he likes) and shows the selected card! A miracle. The effect resets in seconds and could be immediately repeated with a different outcome!

Has anyone seen this to be able to comment on the quality of the deck

cheers in advance

Would be useful to see a full actual performance. It's great that they say "without any suspicious moves" but the video moves the hands out of view, so that's. not very helpful. For that price, sure seems like a full performance video would be useful.

It’s a get sharkey blank DD deck. I like this version as the spec has no need to handle the deck. Ordered.
It’s expensive yes but this will blow minds believe me.

Yeah that does look very cool. And specs will be baffled for sure. For me though the problem is that they subsequently would want to look at the cards and touch 'em. And of course you can't let them. At paid gigs you can get away with moving on quite easily, but it still takes away considerably from the magic, as you basically admit that what you showed them was a magic prop. But in social settings it's a no-no for me. The question in their mind becomes: "How on earth does that trick deck work?" instead of "How on earth did that happen?". Nothing against the former, but I prefer the latter.

(BTW can we stop calling letting them not touch your stuff “spectator management”? That term has by now been abused to death by creators and performers. Spectator management is when you manage spectators in a way that is NOT obvious, like telling people to “come stand here where you can see it better” while really you don’t want anyone behind you. “No I won”t let you touch this” really means you're telling them: "you're right, it's a magic prop". It's not spectator management. It's admitting they're on to something.)

Please check regularly if you are becoming the type of magician Jerry Seinfeld jokes about. (This applies to mentalists as well.)

Actually they can be freely handled just like GS deck. I just choose not to let them. These gimmick cards are actually designed to be handled by the spec.

Really? Oh I completely missed that. Never seen a GS. But you wouldn’t want their fingers all over your €80,- deck, right? Then the same problem would still be there for me.

Does anyone know how many outcomes? And a live performance would definitely help me decide if I should buy it.

Exactly. Also of note these cards do not use RnS and do not wear out over time.

I’m actually not familiar with the GS deck due to the effect not interesting me enough to pay that price. However this version has definitely caught my interest. So I just have one question about the riffle selection. I understand there are set outcomes but can they say stop anywhere and that is where you stop, no force?

Get Sharkey is great, I have also made a one card version as Ryan Tricks does it on YouTube.
I let the spectators handle the cards as the orientation they get them in from me nothing will be found.
I corner short my home made DD version and it’s a killer.
I have always loved my Get Sharkey and they will feel 52 full thickness different cards.
So this will be very good too I’m certain Gaz

Pretty much and not familiar with GS (one of the best card tricks ever) believe me it's worth every penny.

I understand that it’s worth every penny but that doesn’t mean I can justify spending £70 on it when it is a single deck of cards and Pocket Nightmare achieves the same effect and is much cheaper. This effect however I’ll probably get because I like blank deck kickers and as Pegasus said no need for specs to handle deck.

I received mine yesterday and have nothing but praise for this incredible deck. My only quip is the manner in which Phoenix manages their downloads especially with a product like this where obviously it would be very difficult to construct on your own. I added a double back blank card from a Bicycle deck and shortened it. Then, when I am strolling, I won't have to occupy two (working) pockets. Three cards are enough when strolling. I wish that they thought of because it would have been nice to receive a double blank Phoenix card with my purchase.

Is there 4 or 5 outcomes with the deck as is?

Not quite sure what you’ve done here.

There are six possible outs for the reveal. You could have two cards in three pockets or alternatively three in two pockets. You also don't need to memorize the identity of the cards (it's very clever how they handle this). But in my handling, I shortened a double blank card by 1-2 mm and placed it in the center of the deck. This way, it will FORCE only one of the outs. Then, to avoid having the same outcome with another group MOVE the double blank card so that you will have a different card reveal. My feeling is that I could handle an entire strolling gig with just three outs all inside the same pocket. This deck is a Bonafide WORKER!

Reviews for "Jesuspagan y su Orquesta's Journey from Local Heroes to International Stars"

1. John - 1/5

I was really disappointed with "Jesuspagan y su orquesta". The music was extremely repetitive and lacked any originality. It felt like I was listening to the same song on repeat for the entire album. The lyrics were also dull and uninspiring. Overall, it was a forgettable and monotonous listening experience.

2. Sarah - 2/5

I had high hopes for "Jesuspagan y su orquesta" but ultimately found it underwhelming. The vocals were quite mediocre and didn't add any depth to the songs. The instrumentation was also lacking creativity and felt generic. There was nothing about this album that stood out or left a lasting impression. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for innovative or captivating music.

3. Michael - 2/5

I didn't connect with "Jesuspagan y su orquesta" at all. The overall sound was disjointed, and it felt like the band was trying too hard to be unique without actually delivering anything memorable. The songs lacked cohesion and failed to capture my interest. I was left feeling bored and unimpressed. This album was a miss for me, and I wouldn't revisit it in the future.

4. Emily - 3/5

While "Jesuspagan y su orquesta" had some redeeming qualities, overall, it fell short for me. The music felt repetitive and failed to evolve or surprise me throughout the album. The lyrics were also quite simplistic and lacked depth. However, there were a few tracks that had catchy melodies and hooks, but they weren't enough to make up for the overall lackluster nature of the album.

5. David - 2/5

"Jesuspagan y su orquesta" was a disappointment for me. The songs felt uninspired and the production quality could have been better. It lacked the energy and excitement that I was hoping for. I struggled to find anything unique or innovative about this album. Overall, it felt like a missed opportunity and left me wanting more from the band.
