Well, well, well... Dee Christopher Does Review. Are you ready?! 
The Destiny Effect
This is something that when Mike mentioned it during it's inception that created a swarm of speculation...
It can't possibly be real! You are making it up! Where's a video you liar boy!
Hark! There is a manuscript!
I received this in my inbox perhaps a week ago and had a nice read through the ebook...
I will say this, it is a devilishly clever effect, very bold, very back to basics in method, but awfully clever.
The effect is this; You will approach someone, you begin performing and do a couple of lovely card tricks - Perhaps one of these ambitious card effects all you kids are doing these days!
Then you break it down, you offer something a bit more intimate... Asking someone in the back of the crowd to whom you are performing to name any card that pops into their mind... Y
ou spread through the deck face up to find said card and ask one of your other spectator's their name, perhaps the young lady that reacted so well to the voodoo ash effect you performed mid routine...
"What is your name, my sweet?" You will ask in gentle, charming tone (have I gone OTT yet?)
In her letting everyone in on her first name you flip the card in your hand revealing her name written on the back, in fact, the card could be flipped just as she opens her mouth - No sound need escape!
The deck is spread revealing different names on all the backs of the other cards, the deck could be examined if necessary...
Ok, So the method... It's very, very simple, you won't be able to perform this to everyone in the world as cleanly as described, but you will be able to find a way using the concept to perform to anyone with a bit of work - Perhaps I'll put a supplement to Mike's book to make this possible.
He does include EVERYTHING you need to know to make the Destiny deck and go out and perform it the very same day. Very concise instruction, very workable method and a super hard hitting effect.
I, myself was truly intrigued by this when the threads first started popping up and I can honestly say that this effect is as good and as clean as it sounds.
There's lots of room for creativity, you could put any words on the backs, numbers, anything is possible with the concept.
This is a great little ebook... We'll see if it ever gets released to the mainstream, if so, it's worth the spending of a few pence to buy these works for sure!
I must note actually, that there's no secret writing, it's just the pre-prepared cards and you are set.
So, I'll give this the MindLapse stamp of approval! I rate it an easy 9/10 for the sheer workability and impossibility of the effect. Great work Micheal, I look forward to seeing more...
