What an amazing book. I finally got around to reading it and wow was I surprised at what is actually contained inside the hundreds of pages. I am a strong believer in scripting every word of every effect, but even if you're not- then this book has a solution for you,

Not only will it help you create a better script or outline, it will help you create more dynamic patter and presentation which will entertain and rejuvenate any audience. Covers all types of performances from street, to stage; one-on-one to thousands; adults to kids and everyone in everyone in between. READ THIS BOOK if you want to take your presentations to the next level.

Everything with this vendor went pretty well very reasonable prices. Only issue is shipping prices were a little high.

Pros
These are the standard in magic, worldwide recognizable, many custom printed gaffs and gimmicks can be seamlessly integrated, border back design is perfect for sleights.
Cons
Cards wear-out pretty quickly from repetitive motion, a lot of online vendors either dont carry, or over charge for them

If your looking for a simple effect to perform for 13-22 year olds then this highly visual effect is perfect for you.

Justin Miller has created one of the best routines I have ever seen. An incredible effect and a great teacher. He teaches you everything you need to know on the DVD including a couple of incredible very reusable sleights. He also teaches a number of ways to perform the effect so that as your learning curve increases so does the deceptiveness of the effect- however even the very basic was is EXTREMELY effective. This is an effect that will suit any performance style and is necessary to make the presentation your own- performing as you see it on the video will not do the effect justice and needs your personality to make it that much more personal for the spec. Uses an ordinary deck of cards that can be borrowed, the gimmick is added to the deck to make it all work.

I highly recommend this effect to all street magicians. Enjoy

Intermediate
Pros
Very visual, ends clean, final result can be given out as a souvenir. Basic sleights and great angles for use on the street.
Cons
Fairly complex routine, signed cards need to be replaced thus expenses, no instant reset

Upon first visit to the site its clear to see why they are so popular, Brad Christian has mastered the art of magic marketing even if its overhyped a lot of the time. They offer a wide range of products for nearly every skill level.

I went there with a specific purchase in mind, so I wasn't drawn into hype. As far as the price went, for this particular item the price was the lowest on the internet I had found. I would recommend this store for anyone who has a specific purchase in mind, but be certain to do some research before you visit as not to get sucked into the hype.
