Magic Tricks

I normally don’t review videos I get. However, in this case, I enjoyed everything. That made reviewing this lecture easy. Some items I liked more than others but each item is definitely worth your attention.

Ed begins with a very strong version of Chicago Opener. As in the original version, the back of the first selection changes color. Then the second selection changes places with the first selection. Then the first selection changes places with the second selection. There are a lot of “bits of business” throughout the presentation that takes this version to a higher level.

Ed’s version of Card To Pocket is one of my favorites in his lecture. This effect incorporates the transposition of two selected cards which makes this effect outstanding.

What’s Yours Is Mine is another favorite of mine. The unexpected ending makes this a super fooler. You definitely do not want to pass this one up. It’s a killer effect!

Man From West Palm Beach is another effect you don’t want to pass up. The deck is shuffled face up cards into face down cards. The four aces are produced one at a time with the deck righting itself for a strong ending.

Psychic Fail is an effect that is very strong and very easy to do. It also has many comedy interludes within its presentation, which makes it a worker. In addition, Ed tells an informative story about how to connect with your audience. It’s a lesson he learned from Bill Malone which we can apply to our magic.

The lecture is filled with lots of doable yet very strong magic. This is one of the best lecture videos I have seen in a very long time. In addition to his lecture, Ed also includes a bonus effect in a separate video. This effect, The Poker Players Pickup, has received rave reviews by some of today’s leading close up magicians. I give this lecture video a huge thumb’s up!
