I almost feel unworthy to review this effect - being a Richard Sander's product and all - especially
considering that I'm going to offer some criticism. It's not about the effect. It is about the
product itself. This "problem" I'm about to mention seems to be more and more common in the DVDs
I've been getting lately. It is this: The lack of a "Play All" or "Continuous Play" feature. After
each chapter, the DVD stops and goes back to the menu.
That is extremely frustrating to the
viewer. Especially to the viewer with a broken remote control. Literally having to get up after
every 5 minute segment to navigate the menu and push the play button, not to mention that not all
DVD players have arrow keys on them. These days that stuff is found ONLY on the remote control and
not on the DVD player.
Other than that, you might as well stop reading now and just go
order this. The effect is as good as the demo shows and claims. It comes with the gimmick. It's easy
to do. Super visual . . . yada yada yada. Come on people. It's Richard Sanders. If you still want
more detail, fine.
Production Quality: Awesome, with one exception. There is a segment or
two shot outside that has some minor audio and lighting problems. Otherwise, the audio, video and
lighting, etc. is excellent.
When it comes to repeat performance like a strolling
situation, the choices are either use the same revelation card all night, or have several gimmicks
prepared and change 'em out a couple of times per night. Depending on the type of gig you're doing,
it might just be worth it to give out the chain and card for a souvenir.
Honestly gang, I
don't know what else to say. Other than keeping this effect to myself and out of the hands of other
magicians, I cannot think of any reason why you shouldn't buy this.
