False-cut

Sep 16, 2003

I like to start off by saying the only reason I'm giving this video 2 and a half stars is not because it's bad, but because of the fact that a lot of the card tricks on here uses gimmick cards, which if that's your thing then you'll love this tape. Me personally, I don't like using gimmick cards, but with that said I was still impressed with the effects on here, and plus you get to see Martin Lewis in action. This was the first time that I've seen Martin perform and I was blown away, he has such a smooth style, he makes everything look so easy. Some of the highlights for me were:

Sidewalk Shuffle: This is a classic of card magic, there's a non-gimmick verse of this trick on one of the Michael Ammar tapes, which is pretty good, but this one is the original one that Martin came up with.

Dice Propagation: This is a nice "cup and ball" type routine using dice, very impressive.

Point of Arrival: This, in my opinion is the best trick on the tape, two sign cards make there way into a packet of cards that has been wrapped up in a napkin.

The Stampede Second: This was nice to watch, but way too much setup.

So there you have it, one thing I should mention is that this tape is usually pretty cheap at most magic shops, I only paid $22 for it.

False-Cut.
