I recently bought Simply Sydney by Syd Segal, i've been playing round with the effects on it. Here's my thoughts on it. A Logical Lesson - You show the audience 2 Four of kinds, the 3's and the 7's. You ask the audience what is 3+7, they say 10. You then deal out the cards and show that...

I just received my Smoke and Mirrors decks and i've been playing round with them for a few hours. Here's my thoughts on the deck. Appearance - I've heard some people say they look better than the pictures online. In my opinion this is completely untrue, they look slightly worse than they do...

I just came across this. http://www.magicbox.uk.com/shop.php/shop/magic-accessories/common-gimmicks/stick-a-pip/p_1180.html It's sheets that contain adhesive pips, you stick them onto blank cards to make your own gaffs. You can see a trailer for them here...

I'm interested in buying Burn but i'm wondering what will I need to do the effects in it. Does any of it use Flash Paper? Also, what will I need to make the gaffs, can I make them by cutting up existing cards or will I need to buy some of them? Thanks.

Surfaced Production - This was produced by Dan and Dave Buck so the layout and music of the DVD is very similar in style to The Tricks DVD of the Trilogy. Watch - This section shows Chad Nelson performing all the effects on Surfaced for a live audience. Chad Nelson is very likeable and...

Dangerous - Volume One Introduction - As i've only had this DVD for a day this obviously won't be the most indepth review as I have not used any of these effects myself but if you are wondering if the DVD lives up to the hype, do the effects seem to be practical or is it worth the money then...

I've just learnt the effect 'Even more four on the floor' from Full Metal Jacket and at the end of the effect it is possible that you may have to use a magicians force to get the spectator to pick the card you want them to. This is something i've never been very comfortable with, especially...

Review - Five Speed by Chris Kenner Description Difficulty I found this effect to be surprisingly easy to learn, it doesn't use any difficult sleights and you should be able to easily learn it within an hour of practice. Something to keep in mind is that it is not completely...
