THE BLURB:
The HIT of the BLACKPOOL magic convention 2010

J B Magic are proud to be working along side Aaron, we bring
to you a rare piece of card magic.

If you are looking for Direct, Powerful, Visual magic then
look no further, Twisted Blizzard is for you.

Imagine asking a spectator to simply NAME ANY CARD in the
deck. Then spreading the deck, there is only ONE CARD in the
entire deck, the NAMED CARD. Every other card is BLANK.

NO FORCING, NO SPECIAL WORDING, NO DECK SWITCHES, NO ROUGH &
SMOOTH NO DOUBLE FACED CARDS, NO DOUBLED BACKED CARDS.

Twisted Blizzard is without doubt a giant leap forward in
card magic, this reputation building effect can be learned
in just 10 minutes. The custom printed Bicycle deck performs
95% of all the work for you.

Twisted Blizzard comes with a step by step training DVD,
with a bonus effect called WHITE TRASH. This is without
doubt one of the greatest Out Of This World routines I have
ever seen. 3 piles are decided by the spectators. A RED
pile, a BLACK pile and a NOT SURE PILE. The piles turn out
to be all Red all Black and the not sure pile are all BLANK.

Twisted Blizzard ticks ALL the boxes in card magic, it is
both Visual and Direct, Easy to do and is Instantly Reset.

We highly recommend Twisted Blizzard.

MY COMMENTS:
This is a truly stunning trick, but whether it borders on
mental magic depends on your presentation or your definition
of the term. What's clear is that if you don't like
mentalism with playing cards or you don't like using a
"custom printed Bicycle deck," then this isn't for you.
Stop reading now. Thanks for reading this far.

For those that this still appeals to, this deck will allow
you to do a very strong versions of Dean Dill's classic
BLIZZARD and the classic Out of This World. In the Blizzard
version, one card that is named becomes the only card in the
deck and the rest are blank face cards. In Dean Dill's
original, there are some bold moves and a little pocket
management that this version does not have. On the other
hand, at the finish of the original version, the
participants can examine the card. In this one, they can
not. That's the trade-off.

The other effect which is included is White Trash. You may
have seen it on YouTube. This is a three-way Out of This
World. It begins with the familiar regular red and black
card scenario with two participant, each one choosing
whether the card is red or black. The kicker is that at the
finish the unused cards are shown to be blanks. As with the
other routine mentioned, the cards cannot be examined.

The big consideration for this effect is that you must have
good audience management, because you cannot let the
participants grab for the cards. Again, the trade-off is
that you get White Trash, a great version of Out of this
World, and you have a very direct presentation of BLIZZARD.
You must also consider that this not the only versions of
these effects and whether this one is for you.

For the record, the original BLIZZARD and the original OUT
OF THIS WORLD work just fine. And there are good variations
of each (such as Anthony Miller's COLOSSAL BLIZZARD). But,
if you don't mind using such props, this is a utility deck
which will allow for strong, visual, and direct versions of
these classics. The package includes the deck and a CD-Rom
with video instructions and demonstrations on it.
