Magic Tricks

Quick review... as I got this today.

Fresh Cent:

This is a good effect and a fooler. It's done exactly as you would think it's done but Marcus does give you some nice handling tips. I'm not sure if I'll use this professionally yet.

Mint Condition:

Firstly DG says "instantly repeatable, different number everytime".... This isn't true at all and should have been edited out of the DVD. Nor is this an effect I'd use professionally, in fact it could have been left off the DVD if not for the fact that that the method is slightly outside the box (pun not intended nor does it reveal the method).

Raw Linkage:

A simply brilliant effect.

Stairway:

As above.

Daley's Revenge:

A pointless card "trick" (because there is nothing magical about it and the moves are way too obvious to even a spectator). There is a reason you don't see too much of this in the trailer. When I watched it for the first time I saw every single move. Very disappointing and I reckon it was only put on there as filler because calling the DVD Four and charging this amount.... well that would have been silly.

To wrap up, DG could have been left out of this DVD and two more effects by Marcus Eddie would have been far better I would think. But I am glad to say that there is at least one effect that I will use professionally. That's a hard thing to say about a lot of DVD's these days and I look forward to seeing more of Marcus Eddie in the future.

Also (and the mods may rightly so edit this part) you can buy Stairway as a single effect elsewhere, this to me suggests that people have realised that as a whole, this DVD isn't fantastic. Think about it, other DVD's for the same price can give you up to three times the effects.

If I could I would have given the DVD 2.5 stars based on the tricks, DVD value for money and what the average magician will learn from it.
