Oh Momma, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law . . . and the only thing worse is a DVD full of sleights . . . unless it's Cody Fisher's Sleightly Original. Bottom line . . . if you're a card guy, get this. You can stop reading now if you want. But if you want to know why you should get it keep reading . . . don't worry, I won't cry myself to sleep because you didn't trust me and take me at my word . . . ok maybe I will, but only a little.
I got this DVD not knowing who Cody Fisher was/is. When I put it in the DVD player, I saw the titles, like In-Jog Riffle Force, Charlier Spread Pass, Fancy Fan Control, The Side Steal Bottom Palm, and I thought . . . "great . . . another card DVD with a bunch of stuff I read in Royal Road and Erdnase. I was further assaulted when Mr. Fisher gave his introduction that basically stated that this was a DVD with a bunch of classic sleights that he has tweaked and combined and/or made his own . . . hence the name "Sleightly Original."
So I was pretty confident that I would not like this DVD. Man was I wrong. I really liked this DVD. It was entertaining to watch. It was extremely enlightening, and Fisher's ideas and modifications to classics are more than note-worthy. They are clever, practical and will make you practice . . . something we need a lot more of in the Magic World. For $25 bucks you get 10 solid sleights . . . forces, controls, palms, etc. His work on the Mercury Card Fold alone is worth the price. Definite Gem. 4.5 stars.
