Ok, so originally I was planning on getting technique by Matthew Mello, but my friend suggested that I looked more into Matt's other stuff. There it was.. "Graphic." Once I saw the trailer I thought it was a master piece. You split the deck into 2 packets, give one of them to the spectator and ask them to deal down theres as a timer and you will try to memorize your whole pack by the time there done dealing. They can deal as fast as they want but no madder what you memorize every card in order every time.
Length: Around about 20 minutes, which in my opinion is a fine amount of time, considering they fill a whole performance and the teaching.
Performance: It is a pretty good performance and it shows you what you will need to know to perform it. Although I must say compared to theory11 vids the quality was a bit dissapointing but I like to focus on the actual trick more so it did not bother me that much.
Teaching: Matt is a great teacher. He goes through the method so you could do it with him. The way he explains stuff in my opinion I could sort of relate to the way he thinks, so I was good.
Method: The method is very clever and it may take a little practice but you will have it down fairly quickly or atleast I did...
Practicallity- It is extremly practical and more practical for live performances than camera which is good because in my opinion that is more what magic is for!
Overall- I think I will definitley be adding this one to my routine. I would give this trick a 9/10, If better quality I would have given it a 10/10!
Great Job Matt.
