Primarily this review concerns the video itself. The effect is OK if you're going to go into a bar
to do ONE TRICK, with the cards already removed from the box. Otherwise, the handling will be
awkward because the 'necessary something' is likely to remain in the card case when the deck is
withdrawn.
The video is recorded in a poorly lighted pub which is essential for the
performance (adequate illumination is not FaceLift's friend; it's not a full-daylight piece.
However the subdued lighting is not sufficient when attempting to show important detail. Leon
probably had a 'friend with a camera' do the recording, one that lacks essential close-up framing
for the important aspects and overall would be best described as underexposed.
His
explanation of the preparation is lengthy and boring, unnecessarily repeating so many
inconsequential points that it took an effort to view the entire thing. We don't care what support
surface he uses or that it's been his choice for years. Neither is it important that his tools came
from the discount store.
If you can bear viewing an underlit, amateur video with a
talkative, albeit charming, Irishman you'll learn a trick that you'll perform once or twice and then
opt for something less encumbered.
