Has anyone purchased the Ninja Videos from Ellusionist? Im undecided on the Street Magic video and/or the Ninja videos...are they as good as they are made out on the Ellusionist site? Feedback from these is gratefully recieved as my missus is getting the hump that im spending too much money on magic!!!!

There are already plenty of discussions already on this board about the ninja series. So just run a search on ellusionist or ninja or Brad Christian and you will find plenty to base a decision on.

But YES the Ninja series in my opinion is excellent. Although it is expensive, if you are seriously into card magic and spend a lot of money on gimmicked cards then these video will help you create effects that are simply outstanding and can be performed with a regular deck of cards.

Some of the techniques are difficult and take quite a lot of practice but some are quite simple and with a little practice you can master them. Combine all the different moves and you will have the bases to create some reputation making routines!

Thanks for the advice, looks like Brad Christian will get another sale!!!

No problem at all, glad I could be of some help.

Hi Brad this is my first post so i hope its a usefull one ,have to agree with enterpise the Ninja series from ellusionist is pretty good , I have heard it being slated by some ...but hey everyones got an opinion, Its full of usefull tips & explinations ,if you need any more detail mail me otherwise trust me you can learn a lot from the ninja & street magic footage ...Mike

On the old forum there was a lot of slating, not of the ninja videos or their content, but of Brad Christians habit of releasing old tricks under a new name and effectively claiming them as his own, that and not giving credit to the people who developed the moves he teaches.

yes a lot of his tricks are second hand so to speak also the sleights standard sleights available from other sources, having said that the video is useful

his website now gives credit where it is due........

That's good to hear.
