Magic Review - Pocket Roulette by Ellusionist
David from Magic Orthodoxy reviews Pocket Roulette by Ellusionist, a clever twist on the classic Princess Card Trick. The trick involves a spectator shuffling and cutting a deck, dealing a small pile of cards, and attempting to pull out their chosen card, only to fail repeatedly. The kicker is their card appears from an impossible location. David highlights the trick's versatility, with two purchase options: physical gimmicks for $35 or a digital download for $25. The tutorial includes multiple handling options, a magician-fooling routine, and a bonus effect called Pocket Space. David praises the trick's layered deception and high-quality teaching but notes the risk of exposure if spectators examine the cards too closely. Overall, he considers Pocket Roulette a solid upgrade to traditional packet tricks.
