Magic Tricks

Effects .... 4.5
Equipment.... 4.5
Instructional Video...2.5

First off, I knew going in there was going to be some arts and crafts and my "split" personality was not looking forward to it but I liked the parts of the routine and really wanted to look at the ultra thin "attractive" properties of some of the finished products...Trying to hint without giving it away, but needless to say, I was satisfied with the deck and the materials that were sent..good quality and will last as long as any other quality product. While doing the entire routine, may have parts that are out of the reach of a beginner, most can be done with a few basic sleights and handlings. A good portion is done with having a mat to work with. I think any intermediate will like this..and someone good with the arts and crafts definitely would. This would have been a solid four or five if not some of the issues with the instructional video....the good..the walk around routine portion is good stuff..have already performed it multiple times while i have been doing my arts and crafts project...and it does kill...Where my issue is during the construction portion of the video...he doesnt have the right cards or supplies when showing you the construction and says ' I dont have anymore Bicycle Decks" and "dont use super glue here, but I dont have a stick so"..He says he is in Macau and hard to get things. So I am going to say this once and I mean this out of respect. I think Shin is extremely talented and creative, but if you are going to sell me a deck of cards and some thin "things" for $70...at least take the time to make sure you have all the correct supplies that the actual purchaser would be using before shooting the video..Maybe thats just me...all in all I will be using parts of this...and the "thin" things are the thinnest I have seen and work extremely well.
