Magic Tricks

First I must say that the book is printed as a hard cover and that was physically impressive. The book content and DVD were both well produced. Having said that it was sort of a mixed bag with more good than bad.

Removing a participants ability to speak, make a participant stuck to an object are both stellar and each worth the price of the book/DVD individually. I've purchased other material [Hypochondriac Hypnosis] that attempted to accomplish the same things but this overwhelmingly came out ahead of those items. Those methods had a much higher fail rate, took longer to accomplish and were much more obvious. These two routines get 100% from me.

Now onto the alright bits. I thought that the demonstration of taking the participants strength away was alright. Honestly, I'm just not that astonished with that plot in the first place and even in the video demonstrations I thought it was rather obvious what was happening.

And onto the not so good. The routine where you appear to change a participants personal beliefs in God were not good. A previous reviewer had wrote that the trailer was selectively edited in order to sell the product and they admitted it in the DVD. This is the routine for which that is correct. In short, as much as they boast at the beginning of the DVD and in the trailer that "no instant stooges were used", this particular bit in my opinion was just that in every sense. Honestly the first two I loved but this one is garbage.

The bonus routines are unfinished or in the case of ACAAN were just as bad as the bit about changing one's belief in god. I suppose they were alright as after thoughts but nothing worth going out and buying.

So in the end, I think that it's a mixed bag. I gave it a four star rating because of those two very powerful bits that are worth the price of the DVD. If getting your spectator to not being able to speak and getting them to think their hand is stuck to an object is of interest to you than please purchase this but if not, than it's not worth your money.
