The Cooler 2.0 by Christian Engblom
The best deck switch in the world just got better. For years, working card magicians around the globe have trusted one device above all others when they need to switch a deck cleanly, reliably, and invisibly under real performing conditions. Christian Engblom’s The Cooler. And now it is back in a completely upgraded 2.0 version that is more stable, more reliable, and built to last a lifetime of professional use.
The concept is beautifully simple: The Cooler allows you to switch one deck for another by simply lifting the card box off the table. That is all it looks like. Lift the box. The deck has changed. No suspicious moves, no cover, no moment the audience can point to. Just a completely natural action that happens to accomplish one of the most powerful and useful things in card magic.
Want to switch a shuffled deck for a stacked one? Done. Want to switch a regular deck for a rainbow deck, an Invisible Deck, or an Omni Deck? Done. Want to set up a cleaner ending, a more impossible revelation, a truly baffling finale? The Cooler makes it possible, and The Cooler 2.0 makes it easier and more dependable than ever.
The 2.0 upgrade brings improved manufacturing techniques, higher-quality materials, greater stability, and a fresh redesign that keeps everything that made the original legendary while making it more reliable in the moments that matter most. It arrives ready to perform straight out of the box with no additional preparation required.
The Cooler 2.0 is so good that it once fooled Christian Engblom himself, the creator of the device, when Tom Stone used it on stage in front of hundreds of magicians. If a deck switch can fool the person who invented it, in a room full of the sharpest eyes in magic, it can fool anyone.
