good trick but not good teaching Report this review

This is a nice little packet trick, easily integrated into a larger routine. The required skill level is about right for me, generally experienced with magic but only recently getting serious about learning real sleight of hand. However, the explanation section is way too insensitive to the human factors of learning the moves - there are two camera angles, neither of which is the magician's view. As cards move between left and right hands and top to bottom of the packet, the learner has to mentally reverse left and right and rotate top to bottom. It is torturous. Also, the explanation mixes focus on the moves with broader comments about patter and context, with gratuitous hand gestures, that make following the real moves in slow motion almost impossible. Even though it's not too complicated and doesn't use difficult hand moves, it takes about 10 times as much time to learn as it should, due to the problems in the explanation.
