Tyler's Face Test is a home run on so many levels.
Face Test might be the best presented, explained, produced magic explainer I have seen in a long time. Very direct, clear and filled with bonus insights. All of the many methods taught in Face Test can be applied in many different ways outside of what Tyler teaches you.
One thing to note is that this is for DIY lovers. There are arts and crafts involved; I enjoy these kinds of tricks because you can throw your flavour (Canadian spelling) into the effect.
If you are a fan of psychology and magic, this is a no-brainer - you should pick it up. Tyler takes a deep dive into the artistic principle applied on Face Test and how you can edit your photos for free or in photoshop. You aren't getting one routine either but many, and each routine will make your creative juices run wild.
There is so much to learn in this digital download, not just the effect itself but also digital art principles, psychology, crafty mechanics, and choreography. My biggest takeaway is the production value and clarity. Tyler doesn't waste your time with fluff statements or ramblings - he keeps it direct and entertaining!
I give this 11/10. Spinal Tap approved.
