Jason Borne is a great coin worker, but for all you beginners out there, you're definitely gonna
find it VERY hard to manage at least one of his coin tricks (there are one or two particular moves
which are essential to most of his routines (which, by the way, are by no means radically different
to each other) and are particularly hard and angley...VERY ANGLEY.
For the advanced pro
coin workers out there, it is likely that you may know all of the stuff he does with coins (if you
recognise it on the demo, then you can bet you're not gonna learn anything new).
As for
cards, I was disappointed. So many gaffs...if you don't mind setting up a trick before you show
someone, fine. But honestly, are you really going to be bothered to do that all the time for
mediocre effects? I mean I just got bored watching them. Lets face it, the more gaffs you need to
carry on you and the more time you need to set up a trick BEFORE HAND, the less chance you're ever
gonna want to show the trick to anybody (especially when you're not even gonna get good reactions
anyway). You have to replace and arrange things bla bla bla...it just bores me to death.
Please, if you want a real kick and fantastic reactions from quick and easy to set up coin
tricks that you can keep in your wallet, stick to the full proof and easy coin effects like scotch
and soda, coin thru bottle (folding half dollar), flipper coin and expanded shell coin, buddha
magnetic okito box, pena coin, the closer, greg wilson's coin tricks from On The Spot, killer key,
maybe even the coin matrix etc.
If you want some great card effects which involve only a
bit of skill (and maybe only a super fast set up that you can do right under the spectator's nose
and some gaffs which you don't need to 'sneek' around the deck all the time) which give the audience
and you a feel good factor, then I suggest making some routines combined with some other sleights
that you may get from Renegade, Card Stunts, Club sandwich, Bigger Finish, Queens Out of Control,
some card effects from Front Row (jay sankey), hip pocket mullica etc.
Actually for cards I
only learn the sleights from card routines and make my own impromptu routine out of them. Be
creative and don't buy this dvd!
Shame...
