Magic Tricks

I was blown away by the refreshing ideas that Cody presents in "Code Red." Most of the effects on here are VERY visual. I personally won't use all of them, but seeing the way he thinks helped stimulate my own creative senses as well.

Some reviewers are complaining about the teaching being boring and that a few of the effects require a lot of set up. That's just personal preference. I thought that the teaching was fine. Yes, some of the gimmicks that Cody teaches may be time consuming to make, but he's simply presenting HIS ideas. Although I won't be making these gimmicks anytime soon, I gained knowledge by watching how they are constructed.

The non-gimmick effects are definitely workable. Some reviewers seem to be biased towards the fact that they are not revolutionary. Not every newly released book, DVD, or effect is revolutionary, again, Cody is presenting HIS ideas and creations. I like seeing his way of thinking and creating magic.

I'm glad I bought this during the Cool Box special period. Definitely worth every penny!
