Yannick Chretien

[Dmagic]

Here is my review for Yannick Chretien's DvD. You will learn 14 routines for a formal table setting:

Mishand: A transposition between a prediction and a random card. However, the prediction just happens to be the selection!
Great effect, but it uses something extra. The key move will require heavy misdirection, but it is easy to cover.
Difficulty: 4/10

Open prediction: A beautiful routine in which the spectator stops dealing on the card they just named!
Great open prediction plot. Very clean. If you like this, then look for the lasser open prediction (taught on talk about tricks).
Difficulty:6/10 Lasser open prediction difficulty: 9/10

Reflipped: The kings and the Aces transpose.
Awesome!
Difficulty: 5/10

Red// Black// Ace: Magical production of four aces in an elegant false cut.
Very cool. Non-Flourishers will like this too.
Difficulty: 4/10

Cointrol: A coin disappears and reappears in the center of the deck on top of the selection.
Cool vanish. That's all I'll say.
Difficulty: 7/10

Whooper: A selection appears inbetween the queens, but is produced from the air. The other selection is now found inbetween the queens.
Very nice structure and effect. It requires a gimmick.
Difficulty: 4/10

HCDS Hiro Sakai: The aces change one by one into each other.
Didn't like it. Just another changing sequence.
Difficulty: 4/10

Muscle vanish technique: A coin vanishes completely!
Ingenious! I love this. However, you must were a certain type of clothing.
Difficulty: 7/10

Betcha: A four of a kind jump into your pockets!
Cool trick. Well thought out.
Difficulty: 6/10

Rubber retro: Reset with a rubber band surrounding the cards.
Good thinking. I like the Idea.
Difficulty: 5/10

Open travelers: The four kings travel onto the table.
Another great open travelers.
Difficulty: 5/10

Allergy: The four sevens and a ripped up selection trade places.
Wow, this one got me. Requires a gimmick.
Difficulty: 5/10

Overall: I'll give this DVD a 9/10. Very nice thinking. Pick up a copy.

I like Betcha, Alergy and some others be sure to check those out

I bought this DVD already. It's insane! I predict that this will go overlooked. I very seldom see a DVD with so much well-thought and stunning card magic. Highly recommended!

Hope that helps.

Great DVD ! I did have some trouble figuring out re-flipped. His hands cover the most important moves in the display of the aces. The DVD rocks with lots of useful effects. Open Travelers is really easy, really simple and really good! I've already replaced my own version that I've been doing for thirty plus years.

I like the open prediction and all his reset variation, i read i Genii that the rubberband doesn't add anything to reset , i disagree, i think it's a good version

The Open Prediction, fool most of the magician, the simplicity behind the method is what it matter the most.
