A great routine but... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 14th, 2013
I love this routine and it fits my style of performing I give it only 4 stars because I believe it is a bit over priced. Sure you get a salt shaker with the deal, but I can get a set for a couple of bucks at the local store a prop not needed as an extra for the EXTRA price. I have been doing coin magic for years so it was easy for me to adapt to the moves, he explains almost everything very well, but there are a couple of moves he shows that you can can do, but aren’t necessary. He shows the moves, but gives no explanation one such move is the up and over move. A beautiful move I never seen before and would have loved to learn it. but sadly he does not go into any detail of how to perfom it. That being said it does not diminish the quality of the routine. One thought as I watched it for the first time was it seems to have a little bit of that old school magic style quality to it, which is a good thing I believe, it’s still a modern routine. We just don’t see this kind of style to much anymore in magic, which may be part of the reason why Jon Racherbaumer was quoted as saying Vernon would have wept and with the overall great misdirection used in this routine it is a great piece to watch and learn. If the price was a little cheaper I would have given it 5 stars.

Master Class on Misdirection Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 7th, 2013
Giovanni is am amazing teacher, the routine is fantastic, and the DVD is phenomenal. At 30 or 40 dollars this would be an easy 5 star. But paying 50 dollars for a DVD and a cheap salt shaker? Eh, really? Still it is worth it, and I look forward to see his future releases.

Schooling on Misdirection Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 28th, 2018
Since the camera can't misdirect, much of an effect is lost. I've always said to non-magician friends see magic live, or don't see it. I love being fooled. And watching Giovanni perform this effect it took me back to feeling like a layperson again. Not sure I agree with the "It's easy" reviews. It isn't. You need a good foundation in coins before you even attempt this. This piece prioritizes the presentation, and downplays the skill. Which is how a real magic effect should be performed. Perform this with confidence, and you'll be so far ahead of your audience. They won't know what hit them.

Perfect for Restaurants Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 30th, 2013
Everything you need is on the table to start with at a restaurant. This routine is filled with magic with many phases that continue to amaze the spectators. This truly is misdirection at its finest. It is quite expensive, but it is a definite worker and is immediately going into my restaurant set.

matched Goshman and Slydini Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 16th, 2018
Giovanni's powerful misdirection in this performance matches that of Goshman and Slydini however it will take much practice to be able to perform this effect.Not for the faint of heart.Those that do master it will have an extremely entertaining routine that will last a lifetime.

I don't usually post reviews, but I just watched the performance section of this DVD and this is a very strong and deceptive routine. It is superb!

Great instruction Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 20th, 2018
Very well filmed clear instructions. He’s left handed so they have the video instruction flipped in the extras for right handers. Each step is explained then performed. Great explanations for beginners like me. I can’t wait to get proficient at this.
