Or you can Pm/E-mail him about it, not sure if he's still sending em out for free, but im glad i asked for one, as this is a great effect!
What does it do? (Effect)
Magically (visually) mail a playing card box and a selected, marked, card
through a window, into another room, or any other ridiculously impossible place your sick, twisted little mind can imagine. Fed exed is a stunning card and card box to impossible location, without the stunning diffi culty or angles. This is real worker magic that you can perform in the real world. It’s also TV quality, and versatile enough to fit into just about any act.
Teach me!
I personally find E-books (and some books) as very hard to learn sleights and tricks from. i werent keen at all when i found that the e-book (compromising of 5 pages) was full of text. i briefly skimmed it firsthand of course. i started to read up. it sounds impressive at first, i wudve thought a pull would be somewhat needed i was wrong, and i was happy that i was wrong. i found out about it through clicking the video, which i thought was just a simple picture beforehand, i was quite pleased as the text-instructions were sort of confusing. (step 1 without a diagram wouldve been hell)
Thankfully there is a helpful video attached, which i must say was quite intresting. it was fast, and i was a bit dissapointed that i couldnt rewind it. The video Comprises of a How-To-Create the gimmick, and a very quick performance of the 'vanish' portion of the trick.
Layout
The layout is quite simple, you get a heading, and a description. kind of like this review.
The layout is:
Fed exed (description)
Why fed exed? (Why perform it)
When? (When to perform it)
Method and set up.. (self explanatory)
Time out (Lets not get too ahead of ourselves.
)
Adding impact (self explanatory)
and the credits (which was not headed)
Gimmick
The gimmick took me 30 seconds. 15 of which i spent rummaging my room for the 'Tool' for the effect. (my room is a warzone)
Very practical gimmick, also Michael instructs how the gimmick can easily be removed after the performance. so this can be a SOLID opener.
Difficulty
5/10 difficulty if you ask me, im not too keen on the mechanics part, specially vanishing, or holding the deck. Things like this come along with practice for me.
Overall:
I wouldve gladly paid for this E-book. Must have.
