The Deceased

As a child and a very young adult, I never thought about the deceased. However as I got older, I had no choice. Death seemed to find me. I would think this is normal. Of course, I knew older people died all the time. I never really felt any sorrow until someone close to me passed away. We all know that sooner or later everyone dies. Thus, I had a hard time dealing with loosing someone that I was really close to. My whole world  changed in an instant. I was so naive. I actually thought this special person would live until I got old. Within a span of five years, I had lost three people that were dear to me. I couldn't understand why I had to loose my closest loved ones. It was a struggle to regain the life I once knew. I realized that no one could possess the exact attributes of the individuals I had lost. I treasured my past. However, I knew that it was essential for me to move on with my life. From time to time, I think back to the good times I had with those who are now deceased. It was important for me to have those relationships. This enabled me to be the person I am today. When you think of those you loved that are now deceased, what resonates in your mind? What do you remember? What do you feel? How do you honor the deceased?  

Magic Reviews: Wow 2.0 by Masuda

Magic Dealers Description: Imagine at the end of your favorite Ambitious Card Routine, you offer to "magician-proof" the deck to create an impossible condition. A translucent piece of plastic is placed on top of the ordinary face-down deck to isolate the cards and preclude the magician from any "tricky business." The selected card is signed by multiple spectators to avoid the thought of a confederate. The signed card is placed FACE UP into the center of the face-down deck. This is all rubber banded together so the magician cannot do any sleight of hand. The selection then slowly and visibly appears on top of the face-down deck. There are no trick decks, no trick cards, no difficult handling -WOW 2.0 is as close to real magic as you can get.

My Experience: Wow 2.0 is an absolute miracle. If I could really do magic it would look like this. It happens right in front of the spectators eyes in slow motion. The best part is there is no setup. You can start your ambitious card routine, go through all your phases, and end with Wow 2.0 with no prior preparation. That's not all folks, you are also taught a very cool color changing deck routine. It is probably the most visual ever. However it has a setup. The only drawback could be you. You must introduce this in a creative way or it will create suspicion. 

Cons: Can't be completely inspected. Can be lightly inspected. Must be introduced.

Pros: As close to real magic as it gets. No setup for the Ambitious Card ending. No possible explanation. 

Ratings

Value: 9/10 due to awesomeness.

Ease of Use: 9/10 Easy with practice.

Overall: 9/10 you won't regret your purchase. It will be a celebrated one.

Where to Buy: You can get this from most magic dealers. The average price is $34.95. I got mine from www.magicgeek.com.

Final Thoughts

This takes your magic from suspicious sleight of hand to unexplainable. There is no explanation for the slow motion rising that occurs at the end of your routine. If you can conjurer up some creativity this will be a real worker for you.
