Alakazam Review Show Ep12 | Svengali Deck Project, Crystal Pyramid & Repo
Alakazam's latest review show, the twelfth episode of their series, dives into three unique magic effects. The team provides their honest opinions to help magicians make informed decisions about their purchases. First up is Craig Petty's *Svengali Deck Project*, which they found to be a clever and well-thought-out take on the classic Svengali deck, appreciating its multiple routines and subtle gimmick. Next, they review the *Crystal Pyramid* by Tenyo Magic, acknowledging its visual appeal and ease of performance but finding it lacked a significant 'wow' factor, best suited as an opener or closer. Finally, they highlight Tobias Dostal's *Repo: A Chain of Unusual Events*, a clear favorite due to its clever design, suspenseful build-up, and memorable narrative. Overall, the review offers valuable guidance for magicians seeking to expand their repertoire, emphasizing the importance of innovation and strong presentation, and encouraging viewers to explore Alakazam.co.uk for more.
