Card Constructions
Mealing, Ollie
Big Blind Media - Owen Packard
(Based on 1 review)
On this DVD Ollie reveals five of his signature moves. From the simple, but mind-blowingly effective, Seesaw Peek to the beautiful Barrier Shift - it's a veritable arsenal of sleights to take every aspect of your magic into a brave new world! And you don't need to be a card ninja to learn and use these moves.
The SeeSaw Peek
An incredibly fair and open selection of two cards - which leaves you knowing the value of both cards AND hiding one face up in the deck. GENIUS!
The Barrier Shift
Forget the Classic Pass, the riffle pass, the turnover pass - The Barrier Shift is your new 'go to' move. And you do it right under their nose!
The Pit Control
Tilt gone supernova - a selection is cleanly inserted half way down at the FRONT of the deck. In full view and effortlessly you move it second from top!
The Clay Switch
A switch, a force, a colour change - you name it, The Clay Switch can do it!
The Station Double
Ever wanted to pull a double from the centre of the deck? Well, now you can!
And then learn eight of Ollie's favourite routines:
Constructing the Deck
Four Sugars
Triple Coincidence
The Sandwich Meal
King Of Clues
Impromptu Stunner
Flat Pack
Graffiti Sandwich
FILMED AT ILLUSIONS MAGIC BAR, BRISTOL
Running Time Approximately: 1hr 34min

Big Blind Media has produced another high end DVD with less than stellar card magic on it. Sure, there are some good ideas, even great ones. However, as an overall product I did not enjoy this.
Many of the effects are so cumbersome, and many of the moves are so hinky that I don’t think they would fool a blind person. Like many card DVDs, the effects are just versions of classics, and the ‘new’ handlings look like rejected handlings that originator created before finding the superior handling
The negative out of the way, here are some things that I did like:
The SeeSaw Peek is a very useful move that will fool your audiences, and will open your imagination to other possibilities.
Flat Pack is a fantastic card to card box routine that is structured perfectly. This honestly should have been the ONLY routine on the DVD, and it would have been worth the money, and much better.
This one could go either way. You will either really like it, or you won’t. So for my star rating, I’ll go right down the middle.
