Magic Review - Total Recall By Liam Levanon

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a thorough review of 'Total Recall' by Liam Levanon, a new trick distributed by Alakazam. This effect offers a compelling alternative to the often-criticized invisible deck routine, where a spectator identifies a reversed card in a face-up deck, only for it to transform into their chosen card without any cuts or manipulations. The trick utilizes a subtle gimmick within a standard deck, allowing for this seemingly impossible feat. David highlights the deck's construction, comparing it favorably to invisible decks due to its avoidance of mental tracking. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining the deck's setup and suggests it's best suited for single performances. Angles are generally good, with the only vulnerable position being directly behind the performer. The $45 trick includes an outside box, an inside box, and a 45-minute tutorial with Liam Levanon, which David found to be well-produced. He also mentions Alakazam's new US warehouse, promising faster and cheaper shipping for American customers, and promotes his own 'Magic Orthodoxy Reveal T-Shirt'. Overall, David considers 'Total Recall' a worthwhile purchase for magicians seeking a deceptive and elegant effect.
