> Hands Off (Any card at any number) by Patrick Redford

Great effect but misleading information Report this review

In general it's a trick with strong effect. If you perform well, audiences could never know how you do that.

However, the promotion information is misleading.

It said it's nearly moveless. The promotion video was edited a lot. In fact a part of routine was never shown in the video. When the performer does this part of routine, there is no mis-direction. You have to move a lot. All the audiences are looking at what you are doing.

It said No Memorized Stack, No Complicated Math. In fact, in the main effect, Patrick Redford offers three choices of stack. The easiest one is not a memorized stack. It requires no Math. However, when you use this stack during the part of the routine, it's a little bit odd. Spectator may question you. The second stack is less odd but requires complicated Math. The third one is memorized stack, and it was never taught in the DVD.

For me, I choose the easiest stack. Although it's a little odd during the performance, the spectator will never know how you do the effect in a deck which was never touched for the entire time. The red deck and red box could be fully examined by the spectators after the performance.

If the promotion information was not so misleading, I'll give this trick 5 stars. I deduct two stars because of the misleading information and video.
