Magic Tricks

This is the most powerful effect in my routine. If you are committed to making this a good effect, and practice hard, this will blow people away.Richard Sanders teaches this effect and every sleight and subtlety in great detail. To get everything that this effect has to offer, I would suggest watching the whole DVD including the in-depth workshops for all the more difficult moves to master. Sanders has some great ideas for the handling of classic sleights. He teaches them so that they can be applied to the effect.

Identity Extended - This is the routine that is right where it needs to be to blow people's minds. It is a powerful effect and as in all of the sections, taught in full detail from many angles to ensure you can get the effect. This version of this effect is one of the 3 effects that get the best reactions out of anything.

Getting the Name - Getting the spectators name is so simple, but the spectators will never know what hit them. This is the one down side to this product. Richard Sanders does not give very many ways to obtain the spectator's name. There are many techniques I can easily think of, because Sanders's will not all of the time, although a good 95% of the time it will.

Identity Condensed - I don't have much to say about this version, besides for it's what you use to fill the final period of time you have in your act if you are in a "running late" situation. Not the best version, but still a good option to think about.

Identity Maxed Out - I think this is a little too far. It is a good way to present an effect, but not this one. I think it is a lot more fluent and flows better in your routine to stick to the Extended version.

Impromptu Version - An absolute life saver. This version of the effect takes 2 seconds with a marker and a deck of cards. Someone says "do the name trick" who has seen it performed before. Just take a drink, switch out decks behind your table, etc. and your done. With every good trick, you are going to get requests. It's always great when you can go right into the requested effect even if you weren't planning on it from the start.

Sleight of Hand Workshops - These are great workshops, not for beginners, but a way for Sanders to show more practical applications of these sleights so they can easily be adjusted for this effect.
