Magic Review - Snowstorm In Chicago by Tom Dobrowolski

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a detailed review of "Snowstorm in Chicago" by Tom Dobrowolski, a trick distributed by Big Blind Media. After months of anticipation due to release delays, David is excited to finally examine this effect, which cleverly combines the classic Chicago Opener with the Snowstorm blank deck. The core of the trick involves a spectator freely drawing three cards, followed by the magician revealing three prediction cards that initially appear to match the selections, only to reveal themselves as identical cards (Spades, Queens of Hearts, and Eights of Diamonds). The routine culminates in the surprising reveal that all the cards, including the spectator's selections and the deck itself, are blank. David highlights the reliance on sleight of hand, particularly double lifts and top changes, praising Tom Dobrowolski's skillful handling. The trick costs $24 and includes a Bicycle-branded blank-faced deck and three red prediction cards. David deems it suitable for intermediate magicians due to the sleight of hand requirements, but accessible due to the lack of memory work. He suggests speeding up the routine and emphasizes the importance of accurate sleights to maintain audience engagement. Overall, David finds "Snowstorm in Chicago" to be a well-made and enjoyable effect, appreciating its reliance on skill and the inclusion of a quality deck of cards, and encourages magicians to check out the trailer for a glimpse of the performance.
