Wild Shock by Syouma

Effect

Wild Shock is a magic trick that creates the illusion of transforming an entire deck of cards into a single selected card. The magician shows a deck of cards, and as they shuffle or handle the deck, all the cards appear to change into the same card, leaving the audience in awe. The effect is similar to the classic Wild Card trick but with a full-deck transformation.

Full details

Wild Shock is produced by Tenyo Magic and Syouma. The trick involves a full deck of cards, which are used to create the transformation effect. The method requires specific handling and setup, and the quality of the cards has been a point of criticism. The trick aims to deliver a visually striking transformation that can be performed in various settings.

Who should consider the trick

Wild Shock is suitable for magicians who enjoy card magic and are looking for a visually impressive transformation effect. It may appeal to those who are familiar with the Wild Card trick and want to explore a full-deck version. However, magicians who prioritize card quality and ease of learning may want to consider other options.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

Wild Shock has been described as hard to learn, particularly due to the tutorial being difficult to follow. The trick requires precise handling and setup, which may pose a challenge for beginners. Experienced magicians who are comfortable with card manipulation and are willing to invest time in learning the method may find it more accessible.

What magicians say

Craig Petty strongly dislikes Wild Shock, calling it unoriginal and a poor version of the Wild Card trick. He criticizes the card quality and advises against buying it, suggesting better methods exist for the same effect. In contrast, another review mentions that Wild Shock offers a full-deck wild card effect but suffers from a hard-to-follow tutorial. The trick has received mixed feedback, with some appreciating its visual impact while others find it lacking in originality and quality.
