First, I should say that I have Divorce by Justin Miller and Reflex by Patrick Kun. These are both
great $10 tutorials on ring magic. I have already developed my own ring routine based off
Divorce/Reflex and other tutorials and have been performing it for 6 years, with great reactions
100% of the time.
I bought NightCrawler because I thought the move where he makes the ring
jump from index to ring finger would be a good addition to my routine. The video goes very in depth
on how to do this move. This move looks very good.
I would say all the other moves in the
video, in my opinion, are not that strong; I won't be using any of them. A lot of the other moves in
the video are "flourishes" rather than "magic." Also, a lot of the other moves in the video are
sleights that I already knew how to do from watching Divorce/Reflex (although CF Yuen does them in a
different way).
So, I am disappointed that I paid $27 for one move. Really it should be $5
and should be a video download. I don't know why they have to send an actual DVD.
DVD
details: about 20 mins long including performance and tutorial. No spoken language. Just text and
music. Includes a lot of slow motion and multiple angles. Note that this is not a routine, rather
just a bunch of sleights which you will need to fit into your own routine.
In conclusion, I
would say CF Yuen is a good magician and his explanation is good. But the video is way overpriced
for the value. I would recommend Divorce/Reflex if you are starting out with ring magic. You can get
both of them for cheaper than this video. Buy this one last if you are still curious.
Should be $5
