excellent trick - bad explanation Report this review

First: The trick is excellent, best version of twisting the aces I know, very visual and you only need a normal deck of cards. But be warned, you have to spend some time to get the handling right every time.
Second: The only reason I have not given 5 stars is the bad explanation and production, bad at least in the follwonig sense. You have to read the explanation and simultaneously(!) watch what Shin Lim shows. Additionally the explanation text is only partially readable because the water mark of the video is 'printed' often partially over the text. The English is not correct, i.e. some words are used in the wrong way and you have to guess what is meant. Shin Lim - as usual I have to say - gives only the bare bones of the work. Details in handling and with respect to important points (for example the condition of the cards and the angles with respect to the Asher Twist)you have to explore for yourself. And sometimes Shin Lim explains something in one way but - if you watch the video performance carefully - does it in another way. Last not least the credits are a joke. For example, only the names of Guy Hollingworth and Lee Asher are cited but not - for example - that Shin Lim uses in principle Lee Ashers so called Asher Twist.
