I’m a big fan of Hollingworth’s Reformation. I tried learning it many times until I finally admitted
to myself that it’s just too technically demanding for me. I’ve seen other versions of the piece by
piece restoration over the years but none of them made it into my performance set.
Now I
have Rehab Redux by Cameron Francis. I watched the video and followed along with my cards. Like any
magic effect, it will take some practice to get it smooth looking but each piece’s restoration is
clear and well thought out and any magician will be able to make this look great. I will be adding
this to my repertoire.
The best surprises came at the end of the video. First, a
performers’ view of the entire routine (I love that!), then an ending you can do in the spectator’s
hand and finally, a demonstration of the routine with the card face out which looked amazing and
required no change in the handling. Recommended!
