COMMERCIAL

The Official Propaganda: Learn THE effect that sparked Dan and Dave's interest in Card Magic. David Blaine performed this effect during a Commercial (hence the title) for his "Street Magic" TV Special. Sleights taught: Riffle Force, Click Change + variations.
First Thoughts: I knew the Snap Change previously, but wow! This looked so much more convenient and way more impressive! Imagine doing a Snap Change without real angle problems! For those history buffs, this is a modification of the Horace Goldin Snap Change, not Marlo's handling.
Teaching: The teaching is very clear and concise, with every step needed to understand the effect. You learn the original Goldin version, and then how to modify it so you can perform it in your non-dominant hand and over the deck. It's a challenge at first, but it comes rather easily and looks very cool.
Effect: You learn a Riffle Force which is just brilliant and the Click Change, which is also sold at T11 but this is a better deal. Everything is just so thorough. You learn a few variations: the standard "flick" move that is in the preview, the odd flick move in the Click Change preview, and the variation shown in the andthensome trailer. So this is a very good deal!
Final Thoughts: This is a stellar effect, absolutely stellar, especially for the price. You get a quick, flashy trick, force, and color change that can be adapted to any and all routines you have. It replaces your standard Snap Change with a very much angle-free change, and a superb force that requires no control whatsoever. For $5, it's a necessity. Highly recommended.
