A magic dealer/friend of mine showed me some items from the card effects case. All good-except for Ricochet. This trick was BEYOND good. It stuck in my brain for WEEKS. It had impact, that the other effects I saw in that session did not. I can attribute this to the 'I know whats about to happen...wait...WHAT?!!' factor. The last minute change, which inspired the title for this effect. I play with that premise now in other effects-where the spectator might conclude the direction of the trick-but, there's a last minute shift, or reversal. Put another way, this is a TRICK WITHIN A TRICK! In any case, this was one of those times where my OWN strong response-and after impression, determined the purchase. I prefer using the Asher twist-and it is well worth learning, and seeing online-not too hard, but angles are a consideration.
I also am able to do a 'packet' version of this effect, using part of a set of wild cards. No deck, no 'Asher twist', just a version of Underground Transposition, that goes south at the last minute. It has great impact, for the same reason Ricochet has. Reset is built in, and Wilson includes insights from his many performances of Ricochet. What spectators scrutanize/question, or don't. Specifically, that keeping the cards together in the deck after the first performance (if strolling, or hopping), raises less questions than the performer might think.
I always look forward to Wilson's work; he adds devastating touches to effects that we're familiar with-and audience response is always strong. But, let me stop here. This effect is more than worth owning and working into your reperatoire. It TRULY messess with peoples heads (in the best of all possible ways!)

A great effect. Wilson's booklet on the piece is well written and makes performance and undestanding of the effect easy. This is a perfect walk-around piece, and would be great for a restaraunt worker. To get the full impact on the effect, it's good to be versend in the Asher Twist. Wilson describes the sleight in the booklet, but it helps to see Asher do it himself to get a real idea of what you should see. And it should be noted that you don't end clean after the effect is done, but any worker will know ways to remedy that. Well worth the price, and a great piece of magic.
