Marksman Deck by Luke Jermay (Blackpool 2017)
The mentalist beats the cards and asks a spectator to take a number of them and cut them and cover them with his hands so that no one can estimate the number he holds. The mentalist concentrates and can announce the identity of the lower map and therefore the map.
Suddenly news comes to mind, grabbing a notebook, he notes a first number, then a second, and finally the third and last. The first number corresponds to the number of cards the viewer holds in his hand, the second digit corresponds to the number of red cards and finally the last one corresponds to the total of the values of the accumulated cards.

Our opinion 4 hearts
We are pleased to present you in June 2016 a preview of a product that will only officially be released in February 2017 for the Blackpool magic festival that will bring together the European FISM of 2017 . This article is currently on sale in the lectures given by Luke Jermay and will undoubtedly be one of the top of the year 2017.
The fact is that I am not a fan of marked games, at least in general magic. For ESP cards or Tarots my opinion is different. In fact, I never found a routine that made me feel the need to have one. In my opinion, they only serve to know the identity of a card. I appreciate the ingenuity of a DeLand but the reading disgusts me. If I had to pick one, it would be the game marked Ultimate because the marking is said open, you will excuse the anglicisms that are present for the profane eyes. Here are the two references that come to mind at the time of the demonstration, this falls well because the author speaks of the simplicity of his play and cites the Deland as a reference for the various possibilities. This arouses my interest, but what has convinced me above all is the routine as I described above.
At the end of the conference, everyone rushes to buy different products, I leave out all that is proposed, I only want this game. The version I have in hand, consists of a DVD in a pouch Cardboard and a red Bicycle Mandolin Back card game . It would seem that at the official release, the whole is contained in a box.
This game is not bevelled as a Deland , it allows you to read the identity of the card as a basic game will you say but it was not created for this purpose and this function is more a security, A plan B. The game is ordered according to a famous principle, some routines can be done after a cut, while others do not. You will be able to see the name of the cutting card, the number of cards cut, the total values of the cards in that cup, the number of reds in that cup, the position of the twin card, Arrangement and finally the game is said one way. On this last point the marking is symmetrical no matter what the meaning of your card, the fact that the game is one way is only a plus for the creation of routines.
The product is sold 50 € in conference, will the price be the same then? Still, it is a nice sum when you think that in the end, it is only a card game which by its very nature has a limited life span. The price must necessarily reflect; The impact of routines, originality, the possibilities of this game outweigh the purchase decision.
Let 's talk about the contents of the DVD, the cover indicates a time of 45 minutes, my reader speaks to him about 1 hour 25, that is not the only difference, the titles on the menu of the DVD are for two d' Between them, we put in brackets those inscribed on the cover. The program begins with an introduction and a review of the marks before getting into the heart of the matter with their reading. Then come 5 routines presented and explained. The program concludes on the author's latest reflections some tracks and references on the subject, such as the book Transparency of Boris Wild (yes I know it is purely by chauvinism!). Let us now look at the routines.
Three Tests of Intuition : after a cut, the mentalist announces three digits, the first one corresponds to the number of cards in the spectator's hand, the second to the number of red cards in his possession, and finally the last one corresponds to the cumulated values of the cards. Cards in hand.
Easy To Read (Card Peeks Routine) : The Mentalist will reveal the identities of three cards chosen in different ways.
Dowsing : the game is cut and a chosen card, the mentalist makes several heaps and can announce, the identity of the spectator's card, in what heap and in what position is his twin card.
Card Calling : the cards are cut and the magician will guess one by one the cards in the spectator's hand.
Card Memory : the game is mixed, a card is removed, the mentalist passes the cards and announces the missing card. This time the viewer removes a card and places it elsewhere in the ribbon face down. The game is spread face up, the mentalist finds the card and puts it back in its place. Then the spectator announces a number and the mentalist gives the identity of the card that occupies this position.
My favorite routine is of course Intuition , then comes Dowsing . These are my favorites because the most original and finally I realize that I can only present them with this game. Card Memory is also a good routine that can be found on the DVD Luke Jermay Live! Using a normal marked set. Card calling is also an interesting trick because it allows you to read all the cards that are in the viewer's hand. Finally, the weakest routine will be in my opinion Easy to read because it is only a matter of revealing three cards chosen, a presentation all sorts of classic, apparently only because this new system will confuse the magicians accustomed to these concepts.
The explanations are clear if you master English well because the flow is fast, people with a low level may find it difficult to understand all the subtleties. The basics, reading the game and running the routines remains accessible, let's say that when you understand the system you will understand the routines. Luke Jermay also gives some subtleties of presentations to reinforce the effect especially in Card memory , or useful techniques like the Gipsy pick . On the other hand, it says a stupidity in Dowsing for the location of the twin card, if the reading can not be done on the card, it claims that it can be done with the following card. Its explanation is more than succinct and if it is accurate in some cases, it does not work for others.
No word on the false mixes, of course it is not the purpose of the DVD but to say at least the technique he uses would not have been superfluous, or else a few tracks of mixes the most suitable according to him. This may seem like a little detail, but given the price, it would have been a good idea to deliver a complete product.
At his conference Luke Jermay explains that he negotiated to have the old paper quality of Bicycle , on this point I take my word for it, not being an expert. Not a word on the tarot cards, maybe USPCC has remained intractable on its new policy and its range of magician cards. Scoring can be frightening, will the spectators notice? According to the creator no. What I believe too, but I would not go so far as to leave the cards too long in their hands. On the one hand because a game is fragile and at that price I will not change every month and then be realistic after a while, unless the visual worries, people will finish By seeing. Let's say that in normal use, with a normal presentation, it will be perfectly invisible.
In my opinion this will be the fla- ************************** -hip product of the year 2017. A multifunctional game, a powerful tool that will suit the mentalists but also to all other magicians. An indispensable for professionals for whom the price will not be a brake and a good investment for the amateurs. In my opinion, this is a classic future of magic that will be discussed in decades.
