Beautifully presented. I have always wondered how Eric Chien did what he did. Now one can only admire the superb skill with which these startling mysteries were accomplished. Definitely a magician fooler. Inspirational and makes one want to start practising straight away.

This deal is a bit weird because you deal the opposite way you are used to, but don't think about that! To be able to change cards while dealing them is so powerful - I use it on a daily basis! I call this deal the BFDE (Best False Deal Ever). Its a little knacky but the teaching is great!

The Flux Deal is worth it. So worth it! It's everything that it is claimed to be. I was anxious to purchase it, fearing it would be a very difficult move that would take tremendous practice. From my experience, it is a difficult move, but not as bad as some. Within one day I had the entire move down. It was still sloppy, but I already got the basics. This move is worth the price and the practice. It could change a lot of magic routines forever. Definitely will change mine. It opens up so many new ideas!

Reasonably difficult, but well worth the effort. He offers a lot of different possible uses, and I'm going to work hard to get this a part of my routine as soon as possible.

WOW! This is a killer utility move. A thing of beauty. The ultimate stealth weapon when you want to switch cards without anyone knowing. A new way to perform some of the great classics in magic; Ace Assembly, Two Card Monte, Four - Four Switches, Spectator finds the Aces and many more. Deal cards to the table as they morph before your very eyes... You'll swear it's CGI.



How good is this? Put it this way: I've never written a review before.... but this motivated me to start typing. I'd give it six stars if I could. Well done, Alex Moffat!

I got this and I love it, I already have a performance video of it up, I love the applications of this. I used this for a colour changing back routine. Great move.

RATE this is good Because there's no mention of Slydini In the credits look suspiciously like a cop and tikhon Palm like a helicopter card and lapping going on.

This is not the first download accompanied by an onslaught of Anonymous early raves. My enthusiasm is tempered by a caveat shared with one of them: Although my fingers are of average to above average in length, I cannot reliably hold the "secret" cards in position. This problem is exacerbated by unusually dry skin. The Flux deal is fun to practice; however, even under the best possible conditions the set-up requires imaginative misdirection, the sleight itself is quite angly and best performed seated. That said, under ideal conditions, the Flux Deal allows miracles. But, as they say, is the juice worth the squeeze?

I find the grip hard to execute because my forefinger isn't long enough to hold the cards steady. I can hold the cards with my middle finger but then its hard to execute the following move so I think it's only for people with big hands.

I am a bit curious as to why my initial review was not posted. Here is the down and dirty of it. I personally did not see ENOUGH of a difference between this and Lennart's Snap Deal to be able to call this a "new/different" version. This DL, however may still be of use to many out there. It is clear, concise and has some good ideas with regards to routine. If you were to venture to the Lennart side of things...well his dvds were often pretty expensive AND the explanations were not always in order...so you would DEF need to scour through the entirety of the dvds....which you SHOULD do...but not everyone wants that...THUS this provides a good bridge. If Lennart's did not exist and if the responses were not so vague to the questions I've seen below regarding the similarities, then I would rate this higher as a stand alone product.

This IS essentially Lennart's deal. I have performed Lennart's for about 2 decades now...and unless I have evolved it to fit my style better...this IS the same deal. I bought this specifically to see if it WAS the same and...I see no differences. THAT BEING SAID...for the price, this is still a good buy, in that if you had been lost on ideas as to what to use Lennart's deal FOR, then this may help you as it does give some nice uses. Also, if you are NOT familiar with Lennart's version, this DL shows a few short demos, then goes straight to the "how to" portion. Why would I say that, you ask? Well the instruction on Lennart's videos are sometimes out of order and may take a bit of time to find the one you are looking for....so THIS is more streamlined. I was just about to give this DL a ONE star review because at the beginning a freind to the speaker is mentioned, but he fails to mention Lennart...HOWEVER, Lennart IS credited in the end credits...so that will move this to a 3 star rating. I cant give it 5, only due to the sketchy replies I have read on here in not bluntly saying..."YES this IS Lennart's infamous deal". THIS is the same deal you will see Takumi Takahashi, Ashliegh Goodwin, and even myself perform. Each of us...use Lennart's and as I said, I dont see enough of a difference between these to say it is a "NEW" method.

• Angelo asks: Is this absolutely impossible to do if you have small hands?

  • 1. Charles answers: I have short fingers, not necessarily small hands. I use the same grip, just use the ring finger to do the work the middle was doing in the instructions.

• Robert asks: Must you be dealing while sitting at a table, in other words, is lapping needed to perform the switch?

  • 1. Garry answers: Even better check out; Takumi Takahashi,??? ?aces top shot.
  • 2. Ceri answers: You should know 1) not to ask that question and 2) know a bit more about magic so you wouldn't HAVE to ask the question!
  • 3. Brad answers: Lapping is not necessary to perform this :) You can deal the cards down in a participants hand if you want. The table is just the easiest because it offers a stable platform as well as allowing for lapping. I personally use this for table work but opt out of lapping as I am usually standing. Hope that is a better answer :)
  • 4. Garry answers: Check out this, which might be easier for smaller hands Takumi Takahashi, Hand Aces Production.
  • 5. Jeremy answers: There's nothing wrong with checking to see if a trick is going to be practical for you. There's also no shame in not being an expert on magic. This is the place to come to if you want to learn, not for someone who already knows it all. We all came from humble beginnings.

• David asks: My hands are not small but I don’t have long fingers like Alex does. Will that make it impossible for me to do?

  • 1. Brad answers: As long as you can palm cards in a secure way and have all your finger joints, you can pull this off just fine :) The move is difficult to master even with long witch fingers so don't be discouraged if you can't pull it off at first!

• John asks: How angle proof is this?

  • 1. Brad answers: I would say 180 to 270 depending on how you perform it. It is a tad angle sensitive but nothing that can't be worked through :D

  Post an answer to this question

• javier asks: Shim Lim and Leenhart Green perfomance a similar deal. Are they the same as Flux deal?

  • 1. Alex Moffat (creator) responds: Hello, the FD has key differences, it’s a 1 for 1 deal switch with multiple cards, allowing for lots of possibilities and solutions to card routines. Cheers, Alex

• Thomas asks: Tenkai palm not a problem for me, but I've never been able to get the knack of Green's Snap Deal. Without spoilers, love know if this is a significantly new approach to the "change/transform while dealing" methods Green uses.

  • 1. Alex Moffat (creator) responds: Hi Thomas, see above response also. It will take a bit of practice, so like anything, it’s just a matter of time to get the feel and confidence to use.

• Yves asks: This looks exactly like Lennart Green’s laser deal which have a variation that changes cards (also by Lennart Green). What are the differences?

  • 1. Garry answers: You mentioned Lenart Green. Check out, Takumi Takahashi, Hand Aces Producti??on and more. As Takumi Takahashi does the tricks by Lenart Green, either as some individual tricks, or you can buy a set of about ten routines, both downloads. Lenart Green is DVD only.
