Nottingham PDF by Nottingham
In this part, Nottingham offers here 4 of his effects. The PDF holds some good teaching, and pictures to help along the way, but let's go into the contents, shall we-
LB Reveal
A card is selected, a corner is ripped, and vanished. The magician points to a lightbulb (in a box, or chandlier), takes the lightbulb outside with the spectators, breaks it open to find the corner inside the lightbulb. The corner matches.
Although this isn't something I'd perform, I do like Nottingham's creativity for the effect. This will require a small set-up that will only take a matter of minutes. But the corner actually being inside the lightbulb is a nice touch if you view it from the spectator's p.o.v. Also, I like how the spectators actually see the corner being torn, and in the magician's hand before disappearing.
Corner of Water
A card is selected, a corner is ripped. An empty water bottle is shown, and the magician visually pushes the corner through the water bottle, where the spectators sees it fall straight through, 'drowning' to the bottom of the bottle.
Again, uses the same priniciple as the LB Reveal. Although, I do see myself performing this one more. What I like here is the visual aspect of the corner penetrating through the bottle, and falling to the bottom. Pretty basic set-up, will only take a few seconds, but I like this one a lot more.
Coin Thru
A coin is borrowed, and a deck box is shown cleanly front and back and placed on top of a cup. The magician takes the coin and slams it on top of the deck, where it falls straight through the deck and inside the cup.
Basic sleights with a small set-up make up this effect. Very nice, visual, and pretty powerful. Only drawback I see is that the spectator may want to inspect the box, but with audience managment, you can easily overcome this, plus, the box is cleanly shown to contain no slits or holes before the effect starts.
4x4 Transpo
The performer displays 4 Aces and places them on top of the deck. Then 4 Jacks are displayed and placed on the floor. The magician offers the spectator one more chance to see the 4 Aces on top of the deck, and with a snap, the 4 Aces and 4 Jacks have now changed places.
Pretty nice transpo, if I do say so myself. Although this one requires you performing more advanced sleights, the payoff is worth it. I also enjoy the aspect of showing the cards before they quickly change.
Nottingham brings some nice, visual, and creative effects here to the table, and I enjoyed reading and performing each one. In all, I'll give this part a 7/10.!
