When you watch the trailer, you'll think that it can't really be that good. It is!
It looks like trick photography, but it isn't!
This is truly one of the most visual card rises that we've ever seen and best of all the signed/creased card can be handed out for examination immediately!
Imagine having a card freely chosen (no force) and then signed by the spectator. Now take their card and fold a crease across the top of their card. Hand them the card and ask them to really crease the card so that's it's undeniably unique to them.
Now place their signed card into the middle of the deck and ask them to watch the top card. Visibly their creased card morphs to the top of the deck. The card is cleanly turned over to show that it's their card, which is immediately handed out to the spectator. It's that clean!
Creased comes with a full instructional DVD featuring Darren Robinson, who teaches you the effect in complete detail, with bonus handling tips and techniques. Also included is one Creased Gimmick that enables you to perform Creased with a Red Bicycle Deck. On the DVD, Darren also teaches you how to make your own gimmicks, although the one supplied will last for some time if handled correctly.
NO FLAPS! NO MAGNETS! EASY TO DO!
"Looks like a camera trick or edit... but it isn't! Stunning and the method is as good as the effect. Practical and doable, with minimal practice."
- MARC SPELMANN
"Just when you've thought you've seen every ambitious finale, up pops this amazing visual rise... Floored me completely. The method is absolutely ingenious and also extremely practical."

PROS
The method is good. It is super easy to do. The instruction is good. The effect can be done surrounded.
CONS
This is one phase of an ambitious card routine. It may need to be the final phase of the routine since their card has a crease in it. It uses a gimmick. There are so many ambitious card routines that don’t use any gimmicks. If you think this is a strong addition to an ambitious card routine, then the method is not bad.
However, the gimmick can be sensitive and it can trigger prematurely. You have to handle the cards carefully when using the gimmick.
VERDICT
A pretty visual way to have a card with a fold and crease rise to the top of the deck, but you need to keep in mind that you are using a gimmick, and you are going to put a permanent crease in their card, meaning there are many ambitious card phases you can't do after doing this one.
