MY THOUGHTS :
This is an updated version of Steve ' s GPS deck which is a very clever marked deck using a system that is on the edge of the cards instead of the back .
The deck is designed to look like a deck that perhaps could be used by an airline or you would see in any book shop at an airport . The
Steve teaches some great routines using this deck including one of my favorites Perfect Visibility . It is Steve ' s working on the classic the Invisible Deck and with version you don ' t need a special deck and more importantly it puts the deck in THEIR hands . They shuffle the cards and they name ANY card . You instantly know where it is and the move is done under such a natural position . As far as they are concerned you haven ' t done anything other than put the deck in their hand .
Take Off is another routine where the spectator names any card and can then cuts to the card . It uses an idea I ' d never thought about and having tried it works every time . In combination with the special deck this becomes a miracle you can repeat .
There are a lot of tricks on here and once you get in to them you will realize just how powerful this deck of cards is . I am going to start using this for all my card magic because I can do my regular work and always have a tool on me that will blow people away .
I ' ve been having a lot of fun with this deck of cards and it ' s always in my pocket . I think everybody from beginners to professionals will get use out of this and you don ' t have to be a skilled card magician to use this .
The cards themselves are extremely nice to handle and they need to be high quality because this is what makes it so easy to use . Any other bad quality cards this would be hard to do . If you like quality cards you ' ll enjoy performing with this deck . I would suggest getting a few because you will use them .
