This is Andrew Mayne, so we already know it's good. When I picked this up however, I had no idea HOW
good it would be.
This DVD lasts only about 20 minutes of FULL HD. Is that a bad thing? NOT
AT ALL. It goes DEEPLY into detail about each of the 4 productions presented on here in addition to
the concept that can be applied to a myriad of other things!
This is a crazily versatile
concept with STRIKINGLY fooling and visual original routines. I enjoyed this DVD thoroughly and this
effect is DEFINITLY going into my show. Included on the DVD are close-up, stand up and parlour
versions, all of which are VERY practical.
In addition it is CHEAP. Only 15 dollars for one
of the best, most versatile productions out there today?

This effect will get you paid! If you are looking to make money with magic or you do so already,
then do not overlook this trick! It hits hard and a beginner can do it. A great closer or an
opener. This trick alone has gotten me gigs and it's the one that people talk about the most. At
$15 the price is right as you will get paid over and over with this trick.

You will be able to perform the effect exactly as seen on the demo within 5 minutes. My first
attempt was flawless and really blew minds, and I'm a rank amateur. Easy but ingenious, and the
instruction is excellent. You can pull together what you need to perform this anywhere for a few
bucks, and there are a million variations one could apply to the technique. Worth every penny.
First Andrew Mayne product I've bought, will definitely check out more...

Although I like Andrew Mayne's Weird Things and iTricks, I don't typically like his tricks that he
markets. I didn't like Touching Sky, and I haven't heard good things about In Half or the Origami
Effect. This trick is the exception. I performed this effect at my high school's variety show, and
it killed. No one talked about the other tricks that I included in my routine; this was the hit. You
might be looking at the trailer and wondering why there are all of the camera cuts in it. It's not
to obscure methodology; you see all of the dirty work in the trailer. When you get the DVD, you'll
watch the explanation and wonder, "Is this really going to fool anyone?" The method is so bold that
I was most nervous about this than any of my other tricks in my act in the variety show, but as I
said earlier, this was remembered and discussed by my audience much more than the five-bill repeat
and insta-cube that I did. Best of all, this is EASY! If you have enough strength to lift a bowling
ball (I can't image someone who doesn't), then you can perform this effect. I highly recommend this
product.

This DVD is amazing! You will not regret buying this, trust me! Included on this DVD are only a few
things you can do. There are so many applications with this!

This is a little gem of a DVD. The method is simple and ingenious---and it's cheap to boot. It is
short, but everything is explained in sufficient detail. It's a fast routine, and you only get one
shot at it, so make sure you do it properly so that your audience will understand what just
happened. Great trick!!

This is the illusion I like: simple, clean, and yet extremely effective.
Andrew Mayne is a very
good teacher, he takes you by hand and doesn't let you go until he has told you everything there is
to know about his tricks.
This one is no exception.

Love this from Andrew. I use it as my opener. Very easy to do, easy to perform and you can easily
put your own twist and variations to it. Andrew gives you a few ideas on this very short, no frills
DVD. but you can apply it to any show you're doing.
Highly recommended

I've been doing it for YEARS.
Not that it's not a GREAT EFFECT.. it IS.. But it's not new.
I've been blowing people away with the bowing ball production..

First of all, I've been a Penguin customer for years and years. Out of all the years I've purchased
their items this is the first time I've ever taken the time to write a review.
Why?
Because Andrew Mayne produced a great DVD with great and innovative ideas resulting in tricks with
all sorts of variations that are easy to do. There are a couple of nuances you need to focus on to
make the tricks more effective, but overall they are all very easy and very effective. You can
focus more on the patter and the production rather than worry about the trick going wrong.
I cannot recommend this any higher. Gotta buy. Good job, Andrew.
