I saw Andy do this effect at a lecture in London and I have to say that this is a great opener and closer.
It will get laughs as well as a positive reaction - what more can you ask for!

When I set this up and saw the vid, I was not sure iff I liked the words on the cards, I did think of chaning them to something else. Anyway, In the end I thought I would stick to Andys suggestions after seeing him do this at a leture.
I did it live for the first time at the weekend doing walkabout at a resturant gig. I used it as an opener at tables, it was great!! Really got heads turning from the other tables to see whats going on when everyone 'cheered' and clapped at the right time at the end!! So then they were eger for me to come to there tables!!

AWESOME!
Does exactly what it says on the tin. I bought this Monday, it arrived Tuesday, watched the DVD Wednesday, set it up on Thursday and performed it Friday at a corporate Christmas party.
I used it as my closer and I literally got a standing ovation from each table I performed it at.
It's also the perfect trick to segway into a new table as it can be used to get them involved. So in effect it's the closer for one table and the opener for another.
A 5* rating is too low.

Ps... Sorry for going all "Craig David" at the beginning of this review.

As a performer i love routines that enable me to put as much of my personality into as i can, andy nyman has taken an already excellent effect and turned it on its head, as a believer in simplicity this shines and with the ability to be an opener or a closer this will find a definite place in my close up set. well done guys 5 out of 5 isnt enough i give it a 10 * * * * * * * * * *

I have both Warlok that Big Reaction.
As all the routines from Andy the simplicity of the concetp is what make the effect a killer routine!
My head already was spinning with the concept used in warlok and I already have an idea on how to transform the routine for stage!(thanks Andy!)
About Big Reaction, is really a ....big reaction.
I have performed this in my gig the 31th december at the Hotel Danieli in Venice and the new plot on this concept make the routine outstanding.I had standing ovations at the tables!!The good things is that for the people that see that reactions (owner of the hotel, directors etc...)it is a great things for repeating booking!
Highly reccomended both the routines!
:)

Just 5 days after buying this from Andy at his London lecture, I performed it at my local Magic Club and blew them all away with it! Typical Nyman - easy to do yet so so powerful!

Review taken from Genii April 2012.
By David Regal.

THIS IS ANDY NYMAN'S version of Ron Johnson's "Lucky Card" effect."Big Reaction" is an "odd card" plot, in which the spectator's freely-selected card (in this case, totally free) is in some way different from all the other cards in the deck. Here, the perfromer beseeches the audience to fill a room with applause should the experiment prove successful. A card is named and the performer removes it from a deck. The deck is now turned over to reveal that the not-chosen cards have blank backs with the word "BOO" written across them, and the chosen card displays the words "GO CRAZY", a virtual command for your audience to verbally shout their approval.
Subtle? No. But if you are working, a strolling gig and want your employer to hear loud reactions to your endeavors, this may be the most sure-fire way in which to meet that aim.

Considerations: Is the blatant manner in which the perfromer beseeches the audience for applause too whorish? That is between you and your God.

Question: Hi Peter,

I'd like to know whether the blank backs of the deck's cards are bearing the printed word "BOO" and the one of the "selected" card the word "Get Crazy", OR is the deck customizable according to the prefered language?

Simply put, can I write with a Sharpie marker the respective words in any language on the blank backs or do I have to stick with the pre-printed English words on the blank backs of the deck?

Thank you in advance,

With regards,
Andrew K. GREECE
Answer: Hi Andrew, they come blank so they can be customised.

Question: I have ordered this will i get in time for xmas
Answer: yes it is due out tomorrow

Question: Hi,
Looks like a great effect. Would like to do it table hopping so what's the re-set like?
Cheers,
Steve
Answer: All you need to do is put the card back in and box the deck

Question: Hi Peter,
I'd like to infrom me about the exact release date of BIG REACTION, so I can place the same day my order.
Thank you in advance,
Andrew K.
Answer: We are hoping to release on the 12th December but may well be before then

Question: Can the card be their freely named card or is there a magicians force used?
Answer: The card is a free selection and is not forced it can be any one of 52 cards

Question: In the Roy Johnson version there was no "rough and smooth", can I assume the same with this product as I dislike them, and would an audience member be able to examine the "boo" cards?
Answer: there is no rough and smooth used

Question: new 2 card magic is this as easy as video 4 a beginer any hard moves not shown on clip like other dealers do will buy on honest reply norm
Answer: This is a very easy effect to perform. There are no moves involved

Question: why is there no description of the effect, you say more than once how amazing it is, but you don't say what it is, also, I would not expect an advertisement to say anything other than "It's Amazing" I did not see the video demo, if it's flash it will not play on an I pad.
Answer: we have put a demo of this effect on the website
