Magic Tricks

In case you can't tell in the title... Man! I love this!

First off, I'll say it's not a 5 star only because I reserve those for the over-top-blow-my-mind-all-over-the-sofa tricks.

But a 4.5 stars. That's pretty good, right? I'd say it is. In fact, I'll say it is. :-)

Ok, now I gotta say... I saw in someone else's review that that person was turned off by the drunk spectator in the second performance. Well, I guess I'm a little different... I absolutely got a kick outta her. Of course, it was because she was such a lush. She's just like "whaaaaa?!!!" and getting all into it. I have to say that, when I watched it, I thought she alone made this trick worth getting. Just my two cents and it has nothing to do with the trick, but what the hey. To each his own. I liked her. She was a trip. Honestly, spectators like her, I feel, lead the other spectators to loosen up and just enjoy what they're seeing instead of being all eagle-eyed-you're-not-gonna-fool-me.

There was this one point where a smart aleck spectator tries to trip up Erik by not doing what he says exactly and reshuffling the remainder of the packet. Erik was like, "oh yeah? BOOM! Here's yo card fool! Don't want none, don't start none!". He picked the correct card out like it was nothing and I was like that drunk spectator: "Whaaaaaa?!!!". I was impressed with that recovery. * Eric drops the mic *

Now the trick itself... it will require a little... without divulging it... brain power. But I promise, it's very, VERY doable. This trick is awesome and easy and awesome and easy. Any moves you make are basic. If you're a beginner, you'll learn a move or two that'll make you look like you're not a beginner, plus you'll learn a specific principle that will serve you well in your future magic. I love this trick and can't wait to try it. Erik is a very good teacher too. This is definitely a keeper.

And if anyone knows that drunk spectator, send her my way. She'll make all my tricks look 10x better with her reactions. :-)

I highly recommend this trick. I love tricks that allow the spectator to share some of the magic with you. Getting them doing part of the trick takes this to another level.
