Magic Tricks

I wasn't too familiar with John Archer before picking up this DVD set so I wasn't sure how this was going to be. However, this DVD set is awesome! John is an extremely entertaining and hilarious performer and his material is very strong. I haven't seen too many mentalists pull of comedy very well, but John is a definite exception to this. Some of my favorite routines on this DVD set include:

1. Tossed out Deck
John's performance of the tossed out deck is excellent. Although I already knew the working of the Tossed out Deck, what I really liked about this routine was that John explains an EXCELLENT way to switch out a deck. This is by far the most devious deck switch I have ever seen. There is no need to go digging into your pockets to switch decks or do anything suspicious. In this switch, you are essentially switching decks right in front of the audience, and they have absolutely NO clue! For me, this was worth the entire price of the DVD.

2. Magic Square
John also teaches how to do a magic square. What make's John's routine better than others is because he has designed it so that there are no random large numbers in the square. In many other routines, there are sometimes very large numbers present relative to the other numbers, but John's version completely eliminates this possibility.

This is a fantastic set of DVDs. You will not be disappointed if you pick this set up!
