Two of the three require knowing a key card in an obscure position and I didn't like them so much.
In one of those, the explanation was ambiguous so I'm not sure until I try it out what the right
position is. The third one needs an easy set up which I'm happier with and is quite a strong effect
leaving the spectator very surprised and with no idea how it's done.

First, thank you for offering free tricks, that is very much appreciated.
Second, I am not a
magician, but I enjoy learning a few simple tricks to perform for family / friends, I look for easy
set-ups and / or non-gimmick tricks.
With that being said, I don't think I will be attempting
these three card tricks, as they seem to take too long to develop, and counting this many cards can
get messy as well.

This gets a 5 for a myriad of reasons. 1) It's free 2) The tutorials are concise and easy to follow
and 3) It features tricks from the Royal Road to Card Magic: the book that probably launched a
thousand magical careers, long before most fledgling magicians obtained their magical knowledge via
Youtube videos.

I got this for free.
In the video you are taught three different "find a card" tricks from
Royal Road to Card Magic.
The teaching is good.
My only reason for rating it 3
stars is that I find each a little bland - they involve counting a lot of cards before or during the
performance.
He presents these as tricks to fool magicians rather than to amaze a
spectator, so if that's what you want, these may be neat to look at.

It is a good 3 tricks from the royal road to card magic though I believe the presentation is
lacking. Overall you can't go wrong with that book.
Definitely fooling tricks. If you are one that loves sleight of hand heavy tricks this ain't for
you. Mostly mathematical tricks.
As the title of the download already describes, you get three simple tricks here. These come from
the classic book "Royal Road to Card Magic", but should also be able to fool magicians.
In
addition, you will also learn a riffle shuffel in which the top and bottom stock is retained.
I would like to say that I am not much of a card trick fan - I do however believe every magician and
mentalist should know a few. that said I am very picky about the few I keep in mind and also believe
that just because a trick might be amateur does not make it bad nor unfit for a professional to use
in their professional shows and demonstrations. this video has three amateur card tricks the first
and last of which i believe are good enough to add to my inventory for although they are amateur,
they have big impact.
Penguin Magic has been such a wonderful addition to my life. I got interested in magic at age 15
when I got a job as a clerk in our hometown magic shop. Traveling magicians were always good about
teaching me something new or improving something I already knew. Years passed and magic was put on
my back burner. Now I’m a grandfather and the magic has returned. Oh how I wish Penguin had been
around when I was young. The quality of your products and your learning videos are top notch. I know
my own skill level and try to buy accordingly. Then one day Penguin offered Three Easy Foolers.
Bonus! Thank you so much for being a true leader in the world of magic.
5 stars because very nice for me
