Effect
The magician takes out two cards out of a red deck of cards as prediction. Then he introduces a blue deck of cards and shuffles it to show the deck is well mixed.
The deck is given to a spectator and he/she shuffles the deck. He/she stops shuffling at any time and places the top card onto the table. Then the first spectator hands the deck to another spectator. The second spectator does the same thing as the first spectator did.
The red prediction cards match the freely selected blue cards.
Features
The magician does not touch the decks after he produces them. Everything is done in spectators hands. There is no complicated moves. They only have to shuffle the deck and place a card onto the table. Memorized deck system is not necessary. Performer can do this effect in a very casual manner. Prediction cards are not switched. You can prepare a prediction in your favorite way. You should always carry the GION Deck with you.
DVD includes how the trick works, how to perform and how to show it more effectively.
No difficult sleights are needed. You can perform this trick in a surrounded situation. The deck is not treated with rough and smooth chemicals. You can spread the deck in a natural manner.
Bonus
DVD includes three of Yuji Murakami's card tricks (performance only).
Sound Trap ~Stereo Version~
Try-Out type-R
Knock Knock Kings
The sleight used in Try-Out type-R is becoming a hot topic in underground magic world. You can't miss it. This performance movie has never been released before. Other two tricks are also attractive.

This effect fooled me. BADLY. It held up every time I repeated the performance, and even though I knew it was a gaffed deck, I still had no idea because the spectator shuffled the deck.
However, during the explanation, I realized the spectators have to do a Hindu shuffle, a common shuffle in Asia, but virtually non-existent outside the magic world in the United States. This is a shame because the effect is fantastic, and will fool anybody watching.
The other disadvantage is that the price is really high for an effect that we will rarely have a chance to use. If you think you will use it to fool your magic buddies, and you can justify why they should use only the hindu shuffle, then you will more than likely get your money’s worth. Again, it’s a shame because I know many who buy this won’t be satisfied, but it is a genius gimmick, and something worth adding to your knowledge toolbox. However, I’m not convinced it’s worth the fifty dollars.
