Magic Tricks

The effect is very visual with quick set up and recovery, and it's an easy carry for walkaround work. You're left pretty clean at the end. There are no complicated moves, and angles aren't much of a concern.

It's a quick effect and probably not a stunner, more likely to produce an eyebrow raise / head nod than a scream of delight. It's easy to perform, but you do have to work on positioning of the cards while working in the air, which will take some effort and repetition as there isn't much room for error. Also, you aren't technically complete clean at the end. A handsy audience member could cause trouble, so you'll either need to be confident in your audience management skills or do a bit of extra work on your own to come up with a way to get totally clean.

Also, be aware that you'll need to do a one-time arts and crafts project.

All in all, I would give this one 4 1/2 stars if that were an option, but Dan gets the benefit of rounding up every time, so it's a 5. I'll use it for sure. No regrets.
