The Jersey Devil Bob Solari is at it again. With his latest project VIBE, Solari gives YOU a chance to offer a set of real miracles to your audience. Utilizing a very under used technique, you will be able to perform a huge array of modern miracles, without using ANY sleight of hand!

Out of this galaxy
A deck can be fairly shuffled and turned face up and spread on the table. The magician says he is able to memorize the entire deck in SECONDS! to prove it he turns the cards face down and deals them into two piles. When he turns the piles face up, he has dealt all the red cards in one pile and all the black in another!

Got The vibe
A card is freely selected and lost in the deck. The spectator can shuffle and cut the deck, proving the card is legitimately lost. The magicians asks the spectator to concentrate on their card as the magician deals through the cards. When the magician feels a vibe from the spectator, he stops dealing and turns the card he stopped on over.....and its THE RIGHT CARD!

4 Of Any Kind
Imagine removing the four kings (or any other 4 of a kind), having the spectator lose the four kings into the deck and shuffle. The magician is able to deal through the cards and find all four Kings with NO SLEIGHT OF HAND!!!!! It can't be more fair!

Covert Vibrations
Slydini student and magician Bill Wisch joins in on the fun with this minor miracle. Using his fingertips, Bill is able to separate the deck red from black. Without looking, not only is he able to separate the colors, he can separate the cards into ODDS and EVENS!

Remember, all the tricks are:
COMPLETELY SELF WORKING!
EASY TO PERFORM!
NO SKILL REQUIRED!
EASILY ADAPTABLE TO ROUTINES YOU'RE ALREADY DOING!

Vibe is like an early Beatles song. It is simple, perfect and an instant classic. With Vibe, Solari scores again! The method behind Vibe is clever and it truly makes miracles possible, without any skill. It is so easy to use a vibed deck that you can give it to a novice and make them look like a pro.

You get a 37 minute DVD or download which is well produced by Murphy’s Magic. The performances and explanations are all clear and very easy to understand. Truth be told, once you do the five minute one time set-up, you are off and running. You will never look back.

Solari performs and explains Out Of This Galaxy (a variation of Out of This World ---- obviously) in which he glances at a spectator shuffled deck and then is able to separate the red from black cards one at a time, without looking at the cards.

Got The Vibe is another great trick in which Solari demonstrates how the performer can detect when the spectator sees his card, which is unknown to the performer, by reading his thoughts. Solari does a variation of this trick called 4 of Any Kind. Both are very impressive.

Bill Wisch teaches Covert Vibrations, using Solari’s method and really ups the game with a kicker ending. Wisch explains how he can tell the difference in weight between the red and black cards and separate them by color, under a handkerchief or table napkin, that the spectator is holding above the cards. Half the cards get thrown face down into the napkin and the other half remain face down under the napkin. When the napkin is moved, there are 2 face down piles. All the cards on top of the napkin are one color and all the cards under the napkin are the other color. The two piles under the napkin contain all the even cards in one and all the odd cards in the other.

The ad copy and the promotional video are both 100% accurate. It is all true; self working, easy, no skill needed, and easily adaptable to routines you are already doing.

Although some may be reluctant to hand out the deck to spectators, I do not think that will present a problem. In fact, some tricks call for the spectator’s to pick and hold cards. I have handed out my vibed deck to at least a dozen spectators, asked them to shuffle the deck and cut it and have not had any issues.

This trick is worth every penny. If you don’t know any of Bob Solari’s other work and you buy this deck, you will immediately be converted to Solari-ism. What are you waiting for? Get it!

I love utility devices! They’re like having a inexhaustible box of magic effects.

Vibe is an excellent, and robust, utility device.

You’re basically buying a method to detect a card, or group of cards, from the rest of the pack. The following features make this method quite unique:
  • You don’t need to be looking at the cards
  • Any card(s) can be used (no forces)
  • The cards can be shuffled by the audience
  • The cards are not gaffed in any way that would keep you from using them for other routines


In addition, you can make them up yourself using any deck of cards. It doesn’t take long and the “work” can be easily “refreshed” at any time.

The DVD provides four excellent examples of the types of routines that can be enhanced, or made easier, using the Vibe method. It’ll enhance, or make easier, all sorts of routines, including:
  • Control of a single card
  • Multiple-selection routines
  • Out of this World
  • Sensitive Fingertips
  • etc.


NOTE TO POTENTIAL BUYERS: I would also spend the extra $10 to buy a deck prepared by Bob. But don’t use it! Keep it as an example of how the work should be done and use it as a guide for making your own decks.
