Guys! This is one of the best DVDs I have watched. This thing is literally leaking creativity. Jeff
has really outdone himself on this one. The DVD comes with a bag of gimmicks which are supplies to
make the effects. One thing you need to know is that this needs a bit of time to construct each
effect. It is a bit of an arts and crafts project. But trust me, it is so worth it.
I made
up the Containmint gimmick (changing Tic Tacs) and it is genius. This is really cool because the Tic
Tacs are really moving inside of the case. The handling is simple and really easy, however you can
adapt the handling to make it more challenging and visual. The gimmick is pretty sturdy but will
require you to make a new one due to wear and tear.
Another great one was Flavourless.
This was a chewed and restored chewing gum effect, that is hyper-visual. The method is very doable
and you most likely have the supplies to make this at home already, the gimmick will last you
forever and can be in your wallet or bag all day. The restored gum can be given to the spectator to
eat or examine. Really cool.
Clasped is a ring flight effect. When I first saw the method,
I thought it wouldn't be practical. But as soon as I mad it up, this thing works! I am going to wear
this thing every day! The routine is so easy and a killer. Easily worth the price of the DVD.
There were a few lighter effects which I cannot comment on due to the fact I cannot buy lighters
because I am under 18. However, you receive supplies to make these effects and they are very clever.
I really enjoyed the bonus effect Strawsome where a drink visually changes whilst inside a
straw. The method allows you to end clean and there are no gimmicks. Minor set up, but so worth it.
Another ring flight is taught except the ring ends up on the headphones. The vanish is really nice
and I will be using it.
Finally, there is a fifteen minute creative session where Jeff
gives you advice and ideas for creating your own magic. He has a really great theory when it comes
to creating magic. Taught is a version of the stiff rope using Apple earphones.
Overall,
guys, just get this! If not for the effects, the theory and talk on creativity is worth every cent.
The DVD is well shot and everything is taught really well so you are confident to start performing
right away. Well done Jeff, this is a winner!

I finished watching it just under a week ago, and I've already incorporated one of the routines into
my walk-around set (Clasped).
I have to say, the demo and description don't really say
enough about how good this material is; I was really, really impressed by the originality on this
one. It's refreshing to finally see a DVD that has material that is ready for (as I have been!)
performing in the real world. Every trick was good, but the stand-outs for me were:
Clasped, which is a ring to necklace. Out of the literally thousands of methods I've seen this
year, I'd have to say the method for this one easily is within my top five favorites.
Strawesome, which is a neat thing with a straw when you're at a restaurant. It's situational,
but if you know about my magic, you know how much that appeals to me.
The Creativity
Session, which was a 15 minute talk on creativity. It was really neat to see Jeff's process, as he
constantly impresses me with his material. I definitely wouldn't have the guts to talk about my
process and share unfinished ideas on DVD, so my hat is off to Jeff for doing it (and for it being
helpful!)
I plan to perform more off this DVD when I get the chance, for sure. It's
some truly original, performable stuff that I definitely recommend.

4 effects:
Containmint: you get what you see, beautiful color change
Clasped: Not
good gimmick, very awkward handling
Flavorless: cool gimmick, works well, . construction
needed
if your solely interested in Flavorless, check out sticky situation by andy leviss.
Fuel: SO GOOD, FULL ROUTINE, YOU WILL USE THIS!!!!!
Overall, expect 3 good
effects, 2 GREAT EFFECTS (containmint, and fuel), and one AWESOME ROUTINE,
Overall, with
the bonuses, you GET A LOT FOR YOUR MONEY. you can incorporate the color changing tic tac, and the
restoring gum into one routine quite easily,
A walk around set needs 4-5 routines, this is
half of a phenomenal walk around set for very cheap
SO BUY NOW

Everything about this is amazing.
Almost all of these effects you could use as "workers".
I think the standout will be the ring flight, then the tic tacs and lastly fuel.
Everybody is going to be using fuel, no doubt. The amount of gimmicks (not only for fuel btw)
that you get with this is actually really impressive!
If you buy this, you are GUARANTEED
to perform at least 2 effects off of here. I'm going to use the tic tacs, strawesome and fuel.
Going to try out the ring flight, it's the cheap man's version of Closure, and what it should
have been
This is a confused review, I know, but it gets my highest recommendation, and
these are solid effects that are much better than you think .

i got this as a gift and i was excited so you get gimmicks for two tricks and you have to make the
others i wouldn't complain but they are kinda complicated but the two tricks that come with gimmicks
i fool people with daily... so if you buy this be aware that some of the gimmicks are not included

After receiving this in the mail I was pretty excited to see what I could do with all the stuff.
After watching the video I instantly started having ideas of my own. This is a great dvd to buy, and
the effects are amazing. I highly suggest this to any magician wanting to do some more close up
magic, and even a little bit of impromptu if the spectator has the right type of lighter.

... Lets start with Jeff itself. All he have is good products in the market and this one is no
exception. He's so inspiring, the methods behind his tricks make you smile.
My favorite
one is FUEL! So, so good!! So visual, organic, clean and doesn't take space in my pockets. My
second favorite one is FLAVORLESS! This one is perfect to start a gum routine and is perfect for any
situation because it looks impromptu andddd I can't forget the last 15 min of the dvd! It will help
you to create magic and he teach you a cool trick with headphones... yuupp you NEED this!!! Only
$25? Really Jeff?

Jeff Prace always surprises me with his ingenuity. His youth brings his ideas from the things
around him and his friends (as it should be for all of us!)
FLAVORLESS - Is clever, but
mostly just as a quick trick when hanging with friends. Nothing wrong of that, but not something
I'd do it table hopping or strolling.
CONTAINMENT - Good if something else to tie to the
effect. Like as "flavorless" it works great as just hanging with friends and share some mints.
CLASPED - This Ring to Necklace is probably the cleanest, cheapest answer for the effect. Great
strolling, but work your angles. can't have anyone behind you.
FUEL - These bic lighter
effects are the star for this DVD and the gimmicks are good. Multiple gimmicks included, even
though durable. Easy to carry with you and ready to wow your group.
The Bonus Section on
creativity is very good and will inspire just about anyone to make your magic better!
Highly recommended.
WOW WHAT A GREAT GROUP OF TRICKS. I'VE BEEN WANTING TO SOME TAC TAC TRICKS. THIS AND COIN THROUGH
THE BOTTOM. I'M NOT A HUGE FAN OF MAKING MY GIMMICKS, BECAUSE, LET'S BE HONEST I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT.
BUT JEFF IS SO YOUNG AND BRILENT. HIS EXPLANATION IS PACED LIKE ALL SHOULD BE. NOT TO FAST OR SLOW.
THISREALLY IS WHAT HAS MOVATED ME AND I'M GTEEING TAC TACK
BUY THIS YOU WON'T REGREAT IT,
MONEY WELL SPENT.
THANKS PM
