Has anyone seen the demo for this over at the Alakazam site. I like the end effect but it seems like a lot to get there. Would be interested in others thoughts.

I never like routines where you have to sort out a full deck of cards
way too long of a routine. However one of my favorite effects I perform weekly as a closer is Brian Caswell's "Cataclysm" which is amazing.

I agree very long winded and bordering on a bit boring although clever
Cataclysm is an attention holder with a great finish

A boring effect and way too long with any entertainment value totally removed by the performer,IMHO

I agree it's a bit long but it's a rather strong and baffling effect.

I'm sure the presentation could be streamlined too...

I've just bought this and Brian's other new release "Metal Detector":

I really like Brian's work and I'm looking forward to working on these.

Brian is without a doubt one of he cleverest and most creative thinkers I have ever met. His work is outstanding.

I'm sure in the correct hands this will be awesome. Metal detector is also a great effect. Brian has fooled me many times over the years and again when I watched this.

I love the effect. Just minimise the preamble/patter and present as a kind of "Predestination" wins out over the 'Butterfly Effect" ie no matter what you do...THIS will happen.
