Magic reviews by Jordan Pampliega

I have to say that even for non-beginners, this book provides very good material. The effects are clearly explained form the method down to the presentation. With very clear photos it is really very easy to follow. Joshua Jay gave us not only good effects but also very good insight on magic as a whole. I guarantee you won't regret getting your own copy of this book.

I really think that Joshua Jay is one of the best magic mind out there. His effects are really stunning and the originality of his ideas really make it suit the magician of today. There are a total of nine effects on a 65-page e-book and I think it's worth every cent of it. Honestly, I think this book is suited for intermediate level magicians as some of the terms listed as well as the effects need a better basic understanding on the fundamentals of magic. The photos provide a good view of the methods, however the text related to it could have been explained more clearly. Over all this e-book gave me new insights as well as powerful effects that I will surely add to my repertoire.

I was really amazed on how good the material on this book is. The effects are just connected to one another that it gives you a whole show to perform. The difficulty level of most effects is really intermediate but it is really worth investing the time to learn and practice them. A little note though, this book is really not for beginners, as some effects require knowledge of certain sleights that are not taught in most books. Don't worry though because John Guastaferro offers either alternatives to it or explains thoroughly the sleights required for certain sleights. Again great job for John Guastaferro and I'm looking forward to read more books from you.

Congratulations, Joshua Jay, you did it again! This book provides its readers a very good reference about playing cards in general. From history of playing cards, tricks and flourishes, tricks as well as crafts, Joshua Jay takes you step by step into things that you didn't thought were possible with cards. His teaching style is as clear as ever and his DVD takes you not only the methods but as well as presentation tips. The book and DVD are really worth buying and you won't be disappointed.

This is a great download from Caleb Wiles. The premise itself is very good as it keeps the audience engaged during the whole performance. The opening act is good enough to keep the audience interested and it is a good introduction of the trick's premise. The trick in itself is very clever and its variations could suit up most situations. As a whole this video download is worth its price. Congratulations to Caleb, I hope he produces more downloads like this.
