So, my gal pal bought me both sets of his magic at the same time. After looking through this and
Inscrutable 2, I find his work mind blowing.
Allow me to start by saying, I'm very much
into this style of magic. I've been a David Berglas fan boy, and this fits the style of card magic I
perform. Joe's magic seems effortless and that is something I strive for.
Disc one is
by far my favorite. Rainman went directly into my card work along with the Predictions. I already
did a type of spread force, but it was nice to see how another magician uses it. overall I give this
disc a 8/10
Disc 2 has a utility peek I use A LOT. LLL is the gem on this DVD. I liked
the other routines, but I find myself only using that peek out of all the material. I give this a
7/10
In my opinion as a card worker, there are two types of card magic: effortless and
skilled. I loved skilled card magicians, I think of myself as one, but when I'm trying to entertain
audiences I try to make it seem effortless. You would never find me doing Dan and Dave style magic
at a paying gig. I love Dan and Dave's work, but I don't think audiences would appreciate in real
world performances. I think Eric Mead made some great points on this debate, but I digress.
My point is that this material looks effortless, thus more magical. I use this material in my
routines and get paid to do so. I give this dvd set a 9/10. I love this style, his work, and the
routines.
