Magic Tricks

This trick is a good example of one of the reasons I am interested in magic. It's out of the (card) box thinking that gets me hooked.

A trick doesn't have to have a fancy gimmick or require some super intricate finger twisting move to get the job done. Modern Transportation IMPLIES that you must be extremely versatile in your sleight of hand work even though there really isn't any at all. In fact, this trick is pretty much self-working if you've set it up correctly.

If you've been a magician for a long time and already think outside of the (card) box, this trick probably works exactly the way you thought it would. For me, it was a fooler. But now that I know this trick, i feel another step closer to considering myself to be a real magician.

If you think you know how to do this, this may or may not be a good buy for you. David doesn't go really beyond the actual trick itself, so it's not like you're buying your 10th TnR just for the few extra tips you might glean off the end of the explanation on the bonus tips area. However, if this tick blows your mind, then get it. The simplicity of this solution will also blow your mind.

This trick is simple, it's clean, it looks good. There is nothing suspicious (though I will say that David's tongue-in-cheek presentation of feeling electricity course through linked hands seemed a goofy to me). This trick is super easy. I love this trick and I will be performing it without a doubt.

Get this trick. As this trick shows, when it comes to magic, sometimes simple is better!

4.5 stars. (I generally save 5 stars for extremely visual Salvador Dali mind-melting type of magic... four stars is usually a "perfect" score for me togove to card tricks and cool tricks that aren't visual. So the extra half star should express how much I really like this trick.) Great job, David!
