I'm a huge fan of this series, soon as I heard part 5 came out I stopped what I was doing and
purchased it.
I've only been able to test drive the known technology and biddling around
effects and both, as expected, slayed.
Some of these effects use the same methods taught in
earlier episodes but are reworked to seem like a brand new effect that is sure to hit the audience
hard.
I really can't wait to do the key bend routine as it's very clever and so well hidden that
leaves your spectators with an impossible souvenir wrapped around their wrist; and best of all,
it's presented as though they did it so it's impossible not to get a reaction. This alone is worth
the price of the DVD.
Best thing about this, and the previous 4 videos is that Andrew and
Ran really put a lot of thinking into powerhouse presentations that the audience can really believe
in, thus making the magic significantly stronger by really showcasing the spectators as the one who
do the magic, or framing it in a way that really has an emotional connection to them so it's more
memorable. Basically, I've shelved a plethora of the one off tricks I've used and replaced them
with the effects taught in this series and the difference in reactions are substantial. I can't
recommend getting this and the previous episodes enough. Bring on part 6!
