Magic Tricks

My rule of thumb for evaluating a magic DVD is that if I can use just one effect, it's worthwhile. So by that standard, three of the effect on this DVD meet that test--Photographic, Lottery, and Any Card Any Number (ACAN).

I'm not saying that all three will go into regular rotation, but they are all worth a try in front of an audience. Of these, I think that ACAN has the most potential to make it into regular rotation because it's so easy to set up on a regular deck of cards that's already been used for other effects. And, an audience member can shuffle the cards, which is always a nice touch.

I didn't give this five stars because I didn't see that "Wow!" factor I'm always striving for, as in "In A Flash," or "Envy-Lope," for example. But in fairness, both these "Wow Factor" effects are stand-alone tricks that cost more than the Blizzard price I paid for this DVD.
