Magic Tricks

I'm so excited to write this review! I just watched Groove Electric 2.0 and what a great purchase this is! This is not just a trick, but a set of utility moves that you will use, if you like sleight of hand. If you don't like sleight of hand, move along... there's nothing to see here.

Let's just get right into this review, because I want to hurry and go practice this write away.

1. Is this trick everything it seems from the demo? YES - It's everything and then some! I wondered if there was some creative editing, but there isn't. This is really a clean trick once you've practiced it. Just watch your angles.

2. Any gimmicks or arts & crafts? NO - none at all. This is something you can perform truly impromptu and with any deck. There is no prep, no work, nothing to buy, nothing to clean up.

2. Is this tricky? Hard? Do I have to practice alot? YES, KINDA, YES - this is pure sleight of hand. What you're learning is a couple of utility moves that will enable you to do magic pretty much on demand. The move appears to be a difficult one for anyone less than an intermediate magician. It's definitely NOT impossible or a finger twister. You don't have to be a contortionist or do anything crazy. I suppose the actual move is, when you think about it, not extremely hard in itself. However, the flow of the moves is knacky... so you will want to practice this many times in front of a mirror until it feels natural. I haven't tried this yet, but I'd imagine it will take some effort to make sure I don't slip up. But I will say this... any effort you put into this trick will be a worthy investment. This will be something that you'll definitely want to practice and master.

4. Do I need big hands? NO - You just need to practice so the movements will seem natural and unsuspicious.

5. How is this trick priced? In my opinion, this trick is UNDERPRICED! I would have been happy paying $14.95 or even $19.95 for this. You don't just get a trick... you get a series of utility moves YOU WILL USE. Also, Doc generously gives some bonuses that are worth the same price alone, in my opinion.

6. How is the teaching? It's good. To be honest, he goes slightly fast... but it's ok. It's simply his natural manner... he goes over the trick many times from two angles (front and above), so it is very sufficient. Doc is very approachable and easy to listen to. It's obvious he knows his stuff.

7. Is this a keeper? ABSOLUTELY! You will definitely use these moves. I would get this trick again without hesitation if I had a chance to rethink my decision.

8. Is this trick for anyone? NO - If you like gimmicks or floating things, obviously this won't be your thing. If you are the type that likes true sleight of hand, this is a must. If you're a beginning, this may be difficult, but I still highly recommend it... It will push you to the next level. If you're an expert, I'd still say this is a move you may have not seen before (maybe, I dunno). If you are indeed an expert, your call on this. Perhaps you already can do everything he's doing your own way. I'm not an expert so I don't know how I'd feel about this. But personally, I LOVE Groove Electric 2.0.

Generally, I reserve 5-star ratings for crazy mind-melting tricks. This one isn't visual like that... however, it is such a great value and the moves are so valuable, I feel like I must give this the top rating. So an exceptional (literally) 5-star rating to Doc's Groove Electric 2.0!
