Control - Worth the buy?

lol, i leanred some basic stuff......and the others were....eh....

Dull, well that's personal opinion. I didn't like the table cuts, but from there I did take away a fair portion, I don't see why someone couldn't learn from it, given adequate time, the teaching's fine. Although, I do have to say, stuff like Impossible Stack Closer - if you're just starting, you might have difficulty learning stuff like that if you're not used to, I had to come back to it.

Back onto control... I have to point anyone interested towards Steerpike's post (too lazy to find it though) about who would be suited to this kind of effect... Personality/presentation wise, it is after all a very serious effect.

which is why i wont get it? O-o ...im planning on getting distortion instead or something around that area, altho i think i alredy know how the gimmick works and can figure out the rest on my own, i guess ill still get it. ive seen most of cyrils (famous japanese magician) tricks, and he performed with this gimmick. which cught my attention a while back...now, wayne houchin came up with a trick with this, haha...i find it a wierd coincidence.

Not a coincidence so much as a contrivance.

Most magicians don't market effects until they've been working with them for a while. Cyril more than likely called in Wayne as one of his consultants for one or more of his TV specials.

IIRC Cyril performed like a 2 of clubs to a three of clubs, in which case he probably made his own gimmick...

The moving pips concept has been around for awhile.

Yeah, Wayne talks about the history of the moving pips gimmick a little on the Distortion DVD.

Worth every penny.
Although, as Steerpike said, it can have quite a frightening effect on people... You might stop their heart as well
