What people are saying about Neither Blind nor Stupid

profrt says...

The separation of the deck comes not only as something that's amazing but also as something that's surprising. [...] I think for a borrowed for for a 35 to 40 minute show with a borrowed deck this display at the end is about as good as you can get.
