Magic Tricks

There are two main effects on the download, the first is a signed card to clear box, and the second is a torn and restored card.


Signed card to box:
I have David Regal's Clarity Box, which is great, but honestly I prefer this version. It seems to be both more practical and more convincing.


T+R card:
The T+R card looks extremely clean, and it is almost impossible to see the method even if you know what to look for and are burning the performer's hands. The only downside for some people may be that the card is not signed (in the first effect the card is signed), however the presentation makes this seem natural.


As mentioned in the ad copy, the methods require that you have a PK ring. This makes the handling quite easy for the T+R card, which requires practically no sleight of hand. Similarly, the key part of the card to clear box - usually the part of the routine which has the most 'heat' - is also quite easy to do and very deceptive. You will need to make a gimmick for each trick, but these seem really easy to make.


Bonus segment:
There is also a bonus segment where showing various poker chip moves, essentially coin moves with a poker chip that utilize the ring, which may appeal to some performers.


What I liked most about the download:
- Very well shot/produced, with very clear explanations
- Several "real-world" performances of each effect
- The effects look really clean and extremely practical for a walkaround setting - you could basically be surrounded with spectators burning your hands, and the methods will still be invisible. You can also tell that Colin has successfully performed these effects hundreds of times in real-world settings.


It says that this is episode 1 of a series, and I look forward to the next episode!
