Liam and Cameron are a couple of my favorite people. They are creative, focused on clarity and
really enjoy what they do.
All of the routines on here are practical, useable and laymen
will like them (that's why we do this right?). It's shot by Owen and BBM who completely rocks so the
quality is nothing short of great.
Here's the deal, if this is your FIRST introduction to
magic, wait on it. So If you are having trouble with your double lifts or getting caught with
them... Maybe you need to go backwards for a moment.
BUT!!! You have your basics down, so
buy it. I'm sure there will be a few things on here you'll enjoy because each of the plots are much
different from each other.
Few of my personal favorites on here include:
Invisible
Technology (Cam's approach)
Cheaters Sleeve
Departure Box
Subtle Soto (See the trailer
above)
Triple Play
Thanks Liam and Cam for charing some awesome material.

Check out One Degree by John Guastaferro which
has a routine called "Either/Or" not only is a great "shuffled deck in use" opener but because of
it's structure you can openly set up a stack in-front of your spectators.

I really hate to say anything positive about this DVD/EBook combo. I know that sounds harsh but the
the reason I hate to say anything positive is that I want to keep these to myself. The material
here is killer, and these are effects you really will perform.

I completely disagree that this was "rushed". It was all strong material and great concepts. I
thought that this was a 1000% improvement compared to ultimate impromptu and it all was impromptu.
If you liked that disc, than you must own this. The slights are as easy as it gets and the material
is amazing.
I would also suggest buying a big blind media deck for this, the joker reveals
combined with these tricks are stunning.

I really enjoyed this DVD. Cameron and Liam make a great team. My favorite trick hands down is over
count. Blew my mind and gets great reactions. I love all the tricks on this DVD and I will find
myself perfomring most of them. Some of them are a little difficult but practice will help with
that. All can be done with a borrowed deck and most of them are completely impromptu. Thats my kind
of magic! I recommend this DVD to anyone who wants to add some great card magic to their repetoire.
Great job guys!

There are many great effects on here. This is NOT for begginers. While many of these tricks are
great, they all felt a little to polluted to ever preform. (i.e. lot of set up or knacky moves).
When they go into explaining, I found that it was extremely rushed, and they only went over what
your supposed to once and its on to the next thing. Don't get me wrong, this is a great DVD set. It
has an extremely nice ACCAN trick called OVER COUNT which is probably the only one right now I've
bothered to slow down and learn.
Beware when you buy this of the things described, but it is
also worth it to achieve that WOW in your audience, for all of the routines are very powerful.
I give it only 3 stars because 1)some of the tricks have A LOT of setup and A LOT of knacky moves
2) the explanations are to fast considering the difficulty of many of the tricks.
If you can
handle those things, you can gain many gigs with these tricks! (Oh, yea their that good!)

Another thing, I found I couldn't access the PDF book. It might be my computer, but I thought I
would put that out there.

You will learn several different routines that are all adjusted to be easy to learn and perform. No
gimicks required. The slight of hand is not difficult or obvious. All the tricks have the visual
and startling qualities that make them hits with the audience.

This is a brilliant product. One gets 15 tricks on this DVD, performed and then explained in the
humorous and engaging styles of Messrs. Cameron Francis and Liam Montier. In addition, one also
receives a PDF (via Instant Download) that explains four (4) additional tricks. That's 19 tricks,
plus a few brief but entertaining "interviews" also included on the DVD, for $30. That amounts to
about $1.50 per trick. And, these are not throw-away or "tosser" tricks but solid ones that you can
confidently incorporate into your own routines. During the performance segments, you also hear the
patter that the gentlemen use in each trick. The performance segments explain the purpose of the
patter, as appropriate. Considering what you receive for your money, this is a good value.
A couple reviewers said that they felt the explanations were "rushed," but I have to disagree.
Cameron and Liam are addressing their audience with the expectation that they will have at least a
rudimentary understanding of various technical aspects. Rather than bog down the DVD with
demonstrations of basic moves (Pinky Break, Elmsley Count, etc.), they assume their audience already
has a familiarity with those things. This helps keep a good flow to the DVD, instead of making it
tedious to watch.
With regard the tricks themselves, even novices (but NOT rank beginners)
will find the content within their grasp. True, they might have to work and practice a bit more in
order to perform the tricks capably, but they won't be out of reach for a novice. (Cameron's
"Overcount" trick is a good example.)
In sum, this is an enjoyable production, with good
value, that those of all skill levels will appreciate. Kudos to Liam and Cameron for a job well
done.

Material seems "churned out," rushed, not tried and tested. Big Blind Media puts out better work
than this usually, and so do Cameron and Liam.
This is not them at their best. Seems like
a jam session or a "study" for later works of art.
There are tricks on here that have
been cleaned up and re-named (for the most part) on the disc Ultimate Self-Working Card Tricks,
which is a better purchase than this.
Watched alongside two working magicians- we couldn't
get into it.
