Magic reviews by Keith Breen

Beautiful change that will (& should) be in anybody's toolchest. That is if one takes their card magic and (close-up) seriously. Watching it speaks for itself...

I can't say it's crazy easy, it will require practice for most. A little more for some, yet possibly a lot for ones with just the most basic of skill-sets. Yet others will pick it right up depending on how familiar you are with the moves involved to make the change.

The effects included (the "subtle" ideas also!!!) to my mind are really great, I consider them excellent.

This isn't just a 'one trick wonder'. Tony Chang has done one nice job and his teaching is just right...

Most certainly one of the best dedicated books on card magic. Jack Parker's methods
applied to familiar and new themes are simply the BEST.

You can ask how I know this, well it's simple & it's not that 20+ years with a deck that
this opinion comes, but it's seeing how many new names to card magic are applying
Jack Parker's brilliant technique(s), subtlty, and excellence. I'd name a few but...

Oh, & lets not forget that the magic is kickin to say the least... In your face shockers to
mello twists on classics. Oh! Did I mention "commercial" also? That's a given...

I own 'mega' books, this one, by comparison is fairly new, yet unlike the other books
it doesn't look new, a testament unto itself...

I love it. The vanish, the reproduction, it's an idea that I've worked on and thought about for many years. I'd get excited when I'd hear or see that someone else also had ideas or solutions. But none of them were key, not for me. Till now. And the routine is just right. It's good in your face magic. What I think has great value for many is that he gives two different methods that accomplish the same end. One uses a simple helper while the other is au natural, just 3 cards. You have to love an effect that is dimensional and makes the saying 'trick photography' come to mind.

Then there's two coin effects. Not the reason I grabbed this. I didn't even watch that far into the demo. But they're there and only make things better. The 2nd, routines ending is one of the better ideas I've seen. The change is so visible.

How many times, we open a book with many ideas & effects and use none of it? From this one short download, I find myself with two new effects under my belt and I 'aint even broken a sweat.... . I give this 10 stars, but since there's only 5 stars available I guess that will just have to do.
