Oops Deck

Mental Playground
(Based on 1 review)
A unique torn and restored card routine...and much more. They WILL remember this one! Your spectator will be left with a signed and restored card unlike anything they have ever seen. Oops! is not limited to T&R effects. There are unlimited routine possibilities. Oops! cards will open up a whole new dimension in card magic.
Incredible, impossible, inspectable.....Oops!
Effects Taught: Oops!----MisMade-----3WayChange
PLUS How to prepare your Oops Card!
Effect Descriptions:
Oops! - The classic torn and restored card effect with a twist by Michael Paul and a single Oops! card. Your spectators will remember this one!
MisMade - A card is selected at random by your spectator. The spectator folds the card into quarters, and the card is signed. After a moment of the card being held in the spectators' closed fist, it transforms into a "mismade" card, complete with the signature!
3Way Change - After a short patter about card companies and mis-printed cards, you offer to provide an example. An entire deck is shown to be mis-printed, including the box. You correct the problem visually. A single card transforms to a normally printed card in your hands. Then at the next moment it is seen that the entire deck has been corrected.....then the box has been corrected too. All while they are sitting in full view!

This is a really cool, really fresh approach to card magic. The deck is composed of cards that are misprinted. Included is a DVD that teaches you three routines for you to use the cards with. Each routine is structured pretty well, and they are taught clearly.
You get a full deck of 52 cards, with two jokers and two blank faced cards. The DVD is well made and shot well. However some choices made were strange to me. For example, not all of the moves performed are deceptive on camera, and why they didn't just do another take is a mystery to me. However, since the point of the DVD is mostly to just share what can be done with the deck, and not to just teach sleights, not too many points are deducted for that.
I think out of the three ideas show, the first one, where a signed card becomes misprinted in the spectators hand, is the best. The other two effects include a torn and restored card, and color changing deck type routine where a misprinted deck becomes correctly printed. They definitely have good ideas in them, but I’m not convinced they are 100% ready for the real world. Again, the point of the DVD is to give you ideas to help you come up with your own effects.
While the DVD could have been better, it was an honest effort, and the coolness of the deck makes up for the other negatives. Three stars for three effects, one DVD, and 56 awesomely misprinted cards!
