Magic Tricks

Poetry Reading... A concept we have all found so familiar to many plots out there, such as Jay Sankey's VIP. I have to say that when I found this was being shipped, I thought it was going to have the same method as VIP. Let me tell you... I was wrong.

Let me start off by saying that the method is not what you would expect at all. I can't say too much about it here, but it is really unexpected. It takes a minute to set up, but all poetry should take a solid few minutes if not more.

When I found out I had won the poetry contest, I thought that since writing that poem was so hard, writing poems AND having to place the words in there that describe the spectator would be really, really time consuming and hard. Well, even if you don't like poetry or can't do it, there is a method for you!

The manuscript itself is... a manuscript. How much can you expect from a little paper booklet? It is however thicker than I imagined and has any possible scenario you could run into covered with one or more outs. Alvo obviously spent a lot of time thinking about this... or writing insane amounts of poetry.

The way the manuscript was written was surprisingly motivational as well. Alvo is a very motivational person and has a wonderful personality from what I can tell.

You know, throughout this whole review, I have left out one key thing. (Adjones would and will be ashamed... ) The trick itself. The trick itself seems like it would have a great effect on spectators, and from the reactions I have gotten from Jay Sankey's VIP, this would definatly get stronger, more solid reactions.

That is about all I can say about this effect, seeing as it is one effect. The teaching is great, the method is amazing, the manuscript is well constructed and motivational, what more could you want?

Thanks again Alvo for the great trick which I would have gladly bought full price off of Penguin Magic! Thanks also for your generosity in the contest!
