THE BLURB:
From the creative mind of Mozique comes "Decisions." An

actions! Using two cards one with the word NO and the other
with the word YES hand written on the face, you set your
spectator some simple challenges. No matter which way your
spectator decides to go you are always able to correctly
predict the outcome.

Includes routines by Mozique, Peter Nardi, Looch & Simon
Grant.

Decisions is a self working mental miracle taking you back
to what mentalism should be, simple, direct & pure!

Each precision gimmick is beautifully hand made by the
undisputed king of gaffed cards Rob Bromley.

No Sleight of hand required as the special gimmick does all
the hard work for you, leaving you to concentrate on the

MY COMMENTS:
The first thing that jumped out at me from the ad is that it
claims that the utility item is a "Custom Hand Made
Gimmick," but then claims it is "Totally Examinable at the
beginning and end of the effect." One might assume then
that this must mean that the gimmick is totally examinable.
And that's not so. You must switch out the gimmicked card
for an ungimmicked card. Also, the gimmick doesn't do all
the work for you. A very simple and natural move must be
made to use the card, depending on the answer needed.

The package comes with a 43 page instruction booklet about
4.5" x 5.5". The blurb says it contains routines by
Mozique, Peter Nardi, Looch & Simon Grant. It also contains
routines by Mark Elsdon, Ran Pink, and Richard Busch. As
you might have guessed, this utility item is suitable for
close-up and walkaround only. The "yes" and "no" words are
about an inch in size and wouldn't be viewable in parlour or
stage venues. Also, the "yes" and "no" are pre-printed and
you can't change those choices, although a blank set is
available from Alakazam.

Despite all that, this is a gimmick with incredible
potential, some of which is realized within the included
routines. The gimmick is certainly easy to use and doesn't
require anything extra. I'll also note that the cards are
blank on both sides, so even those who despise using cards
in mentalism can use this. I know I'm going to have a lot of
fun coming up with routines with this. There's no decisions
to ponder with me on this one. I definitely recommend this.
