THE BLURB:
Nate Kranzo and Anatomy Magic have teamed up to bring you a
lost classic of magic and mentalism. The Psychomatic deck is
an extremely useful tool for the amateur and professional
magician. Imagine being able to show a deck of cards to a
spectator and mixing them so that they see that the cards
are legitimately mixed. After the cards are mixed you hand
them the deck of cards and asking them to peek at and
remember any card they see and without a doubt KNOW the card
they chose. With the Psychomatic deck you can this and so
much more.

While many gimmicked decks you are limited to only one
effect. With the Psychomatic Deck you can perform ultra
clean predictions, forces, tossed out deck routines or even
use it as part of a bigger routine the possibilities are
endless. The Psychomatic Deck requires no skill and come
completely ready to perform as soon as you open the package.
On the Psychomatic companion DVD Nate Kranzo teaches how to
use this deck to its fullest potential so this is sure to
make it as part of your normal repertoire.

Includes gimmicked Bicycle Deck.

Running Time Approximately: 27min

MY COMMENTS:
Both Nate Kranzo and the end credits crawl clearly point out
this is nothing new and that they didn't create this at all.
They are merely producing this deck for the convenience of
mentalists and magicians, because it's been off the market
for so long. In that, this product is certainly worthwhile.
For those unfamiliar with this, it's essentially a variation
of the Svengali deck.

The DVD is irritatingly sloppy, though. Professionals will
probably not need to waste their time with it. Most
problematic is that Kranzo talks about a blank deck version
where you can force any word or name, and a version using
ones own business cards, but nowhere on this approximately
thirty-minute disc is there an explanation about how to
construct such a deck. Oh, one can figure it out, but there
could have been tips to making a really good Psychomatic
deck that will last and also function well. The routines
are also pretty basic.

Again, it is the gimmicked Bicycle deck that you are really
purchasing. If you do a tossed out deck, or any kind of
playing card effect in mentalism, this is certainly an item
you'll want to have handy.
