PROS
In my opinion, this is one of the best packet trick routines ever! It uses antique looking cards that are not gimmicked. The routine requires a few sleights, but with a bit of practice, it is not that difficult to perform.
It comes with the necessary cards, but because they are not gimmicked, you could make your own set of replacements. It will take three decks to make a set, but with three decks, you would have a lifetime supply of refills.
CONS
The one downside is this is not a packet trick you can perform by removing cards from a regular deck of cards, like you would with, say an oil and water routine.
VERDICT
To me, this is the best packet trick ever! It seems like it would be impossible to do without gimmicked cards, but the cards are not gimmicked. The moves are relatively easy, with a little practice, and you could make your own replacement packets.
I had a hard time purchasing this effect, but you can get the full description of it, minus the props, on his DVD called "Killer Card Stuff". You can create your own props.
I like to use antique looking cards. You can do an internet search for "Highlander's 1864 Poker Card Replicas" for a really nice, not too expensive deck. You might want to purchase four or more decks and you will have a lifetime supply (of course, depending on how long you live).
