Destiny Deal by Craig Petty - Review

This video is a thorough and enthusiastic review of Craig Petty's 'Destiny Deal,' a clever 'any card at any number' effect available through Penguin Magic. The reviewer, a seasoned magician, is incredibly impressed, awarding it a near-perfect 99% rating and calling it one of the most commercial effects of its kind. The trick utilizes a specially printed 'Destiny Deal' card, presented as an instruction card, to engage spectators in a routine where a freely selected card is found at a chosen number. While the gimmick is well-made, the reviewer suggests a simple DIY repair might be needed over time and wishes Penguin Magic had included a blue version. Performance is remarkably easy, requiring just one line to remember, and the effect is versatile, suitable for close-up, table hopping, and even parlor settings. Craig Petty's 50-minute tutorial is concise and comprehensive, covering various routines and psychological subtleties. The reviewer believes the $15 price is well worth it, considering the quality of the gimmick and the value of the routine. He recommends it for real-life performances, highlights the minimal pocket space required, and emphasizes its social media vs. real-life suitability.
