For ten bucks, this download is a steal. In a world where a single trick or move could cost you
10-15 bucks, getting three for that price is fantastic.
On this download you learn two
effects and one card sleight. The effects are perfect for coffee house or restaurant magic and the
sleight is a fun little card control.
KM Control - This is the first thing you learn on
the download. It's very angle friendly and really easy to do. There is a bit of setup you have to
do, but Kyle covers how to get into this in a very natural way. What I really liked about this move
is that you pretty much are displaying the card right up to the moment you place it back in the
deck, so it's great for those spectators who insist on watching you place their card back in the
pack.
Spooning - Kyle describes this as a manipulation routine for walk around magic. The
gimmick actually reminds me of Autobend Silverware by Devin Knight, so if you already perform that
effect, you could easily utilize that gimmick to perform Spooning. What I really liked about this
one was how Kyle went into the psychology behind the vanish. He explains how it should look if you
really did have magic powers and how to make sure that that is the image the spectator has in their
mind. It's very visual and if you already do magic with spoons/forks, I could easily see using this
as a segue into any other spoon/fork routine, since you end with a completely clean piece of
silverware.
Surbe - The final effect taught on this download is a really cool production
of a sugar cube inside a sealed sugar packet. I don't do a lot of coffeehouse magic, mainly because
I don't drink coffee, but this is actually something I would use. I think this is a perfect effect
if you want to casually do some magic for friends. This is the only thing on Trcks that takes more
than a minute to build, but honestly the gimmick is so easy to make, this wasn't a problem for me. I
loved how visual it looked in the trailer, and I can't wait to try this out next time I'm hanging
out with some friends for lunch.
Overall I really enjoyed this project. It was a total
impulse buy for me, and I'm really glad I picked it up. Like I said for ten bucks you get three
tricks, so it's totally worth it. Great job Kyle!
