Review of NEVERmind by Jon Maronge

Here's an easy packet card effect where four cards turn into four aces. There’s no sleight of hand or tricky moves as the effect happens courtesy of gimmicked cards. Also, this one can play strong and work to different themes.

Now You See 'Em, Now You Don't

You show four cards individually and tell a spectator to think of one of them. If you're working with a group, all can agree on a card or each can mentally select their own cards. With no quick movements or sleights, and as spectators watch, the cards turn into a different four of a kind.

You can choose to make this a transformation where the cards turn into other cards. Or you can play it as a psychological study. Did the spectators actually see the cards that they thought that they saw?

Four of a Kind

The trick is easy to learn and perform. While you won’t be able to allow spectators to actually handle and examine the cards, you’ll look fairly clean at the end.

I was unfamiliar with this trick prior to reviewing it here, but the manufacturer says that the formulation (secret) has been altered to last longer and can actually outlast the card stock if taken care of properly.

This one is easy and quite strong.

MSRP: (US) $24.95
