I applaud the thinking behind some of these techniques for Card Thru Window, but I do not find them
very practical. I would search elsewhere. I recommend KAOS over this DVD.

I think people shouldnt complain about the method of the trick being "dumb", it doesnt matter if its
dumb or not, what matters is what the audience believed just happened!
Plus, people who talk
about gimmicks for this trick: I wanna clarify for people who are going to buy this product, that
the "gimmicks" used are very easy to get!(and i love that part)
So please, think before you make
the review, because this product is really great, and the method is really simple, which makes it
even better!

If you sat down and thought about it for a while, you could figure it out if you have basic
knowledge of slights and the use of a partner. However, if you're just starting out, and you wanna
up your game, don't hesitate. Buy it now. The various ways he performs the trick have given me ideas
to not only improve upon his work, but to design entirely different effects. Definitely worth it.

i thought it was going to be great but most things i already knew... still if you guys think it
sucks then dont buy it it actually makes sense if you think about i and no im not one of the people
who made the dvd im a 14 y/o kid whos starting out in magic. Its really cool if you set you mind to
it and practise and ur really good at audience control

This is not my style, but it may be yours. This has way too many gimmicks. I do use some gimmicks,
but this is way overboard for my style. He does have a few subtle tips, but I am sure if you have
been doing illusions for any length of time, you already know them.

I was amazed when this dvd came out. When I first watched it, I hated it, and never performed it. A
few years have passed, I've matured. so I watch it again. And I can't believe I didn't like this
trick, it's really good, a classic, one of the best.
As with most really good illusions
this takes alot of set up, practice, audience control, and misdirection. The method is crazy, and
very smart. I found a way to cut the the time it takes to set up in half, so I can set it up in less
than one minute(when I'm well prepaired, with the gimmick)
If you can control your audience
well, this is an amazing trick. This is not in the dvd, but If you really PLAN AHEAD, are
creative,have good audience control(Misdirection), and a little help, there is a way that you could
have the card signed. This is not a trick that you can perform every day, but every once in a while
for me is good enough.
The set up is alot, but what happens in the audiences mind is all
that matters. I recomend this to any magician.

I bought this DVD years ago when i was first getting into magic. I thought it was a bad idea even
then and never performed it. Like other reviewers, I have since gotten the DVD back out and given
it another try. It does work and can be impressive under the right circumstances. However, I feel
that the description is misleading. "Can be performed anywhere" is true...but the method that is
really discussed in the DVD requires a lot of set-up and audience control. I don't feel this is for
most people. When i perform it, people always want to go outside and look at the card...they cannot
do that. You have to quickly move on to another trick and keep the action flowing. Then when the
show is over and they have forgotten about the card, you quickly want to slip away and steal the
card off of the window and bring it back in so that no one remembers later and tries to go out and
examine the outside of the window.
When I first found this video online I was ecstatic! I ordered it immediately. The preview was great
and had me hooked. WARNING: The preview is very misleading. 2/3 of the video is using the same old
method over and over again and again. They just present the same method as different EFFECTS. When
it got to a different METHOD, the card is not even behind the glass, it's on the same side!!
This is a very disappointing video. If you know how to do one card through window effect,
chances are you already know most of this video. I would have given this video one star, but I gave
it two stars because the method called "Ultimate Card Through Window" was actually worth watching;
it is creative and quite ingenious yet it's not impromptu and you can't exactly do it "anywhere",
per say, without the risk of someone noticing the gimmick or seeing you set it up. I wouldn't call
it very practical.
Worth a watch, but not worth the purchase.
This DVD is less than nothing at all,...!! The DVD was made only to make bucks and ...Please DON'T
watch the video sample, it totally different and you cannot perform it in the real world at all...
These guys who wrote the good thing about this DVD and put 5 stars are the maker and the
seller of This DVD so they can convince customers to buy this trash...I hope Jesus forgive this
video maker...!!!!
When i bought this dvd i was expecting something along the lines of what the guy's on tv do, the
method that the whole dvd revolves around is really terrible and the only impromptu effects don't
even go through the glass,
find a better way to spend your money :(
