What's up guys, I'm back with another review. This time it's for the fantastic new effect on Theory11 called Witness, by Lee Asher. You can check it out here: www.theory11.com/tricks/witness.php.
I'll divide this into 5 sections: The Performances, The Method itself, The Explanation, The Tips, and The Final Thoughts.
The Performances
Lee only has one performance of Witness on the instant download, but man is it a good one. You can see part of it on the trailer. The girl he does it for just goes wild. It's great to see such a simple trick get such amazing reactions. You are now a Witness...
10/10
The Method
This is probably one of the easiest effects I have ever learned, but it is also one of the most hardhitting. I can gaurantee that even the most beginner magician will be able to perform it flawlessly in about 1-2 hours. What I love is that this trick's simplicity allows you to put all of your effort into the presentation of the effect, which really makes or breaks this trick.
10/10
The Explanation
Lee does a great job explaining this effect. He goes over it step by step, and doesn't leave out anything. This effect is so simple, there isn't much of an explanation needed. Well done Lee!
9/10
The Tips
After Lee goes over the method, he gives you some tips that will greatly enhance this effect. Although they are little things, they really reinforce the ideas you are trying to get across to your spectators. There is one tip in there that I will be using for all of my card tricks from now. It's that useful. If you own the DVD you know what I mean.
10/10
Final Thoughts
For all of you guys who said, "Hey! I can buy this effect as well as a few others for only 15 bucks in Thinking Out Loud," this explanatino has much more than the booklet could ever offer (I know because I own the booklet).It has some great tips, and the effect overall is one that you will definately use in the future. I love this effect! Great work Lee, and Theory11.
Overall
10/10
See you guys later!
