Hi, I bought this dvd In ay of 2005 at Cumcis convention straight after Marks lecture. ive searched for any reviews, but couldnt see any (bet someone will find one) so id thought id review it, hope this helps.

The highlights of this dvd for me were,


Marks Card in wallet- This is a excellent full routine, not just card to wallet, but the card jumping to the magcians mouth a couple of times , its the best card to wallet routine ive seen, however you do need a mirage wallet to do the card to wallet effect, but he does explain the other wallets that can be used.

Hindu Rope surprise- A very quick paced cut and resotred rope routine, with the taking the ends of the rope off and ends jumping etc. finishing off with the rope standing up on its own and dancing. Very nice routine

What pocket- once again this is a very quick paced routine where the card literally jumps all over and into every pocket, he also explains the "put and take" move which is excellent.

LTP, peek, steal and control- not a trick but a few very nice utility moves one could bevery effective in the ambitious card.

Stuck up monte- this trick is one of the highlights of the dvd, a spectator is asked to pick a card they put it into the deck, he then does the three card monte and with a great climax of one of the cards turning into the previously chosen card. This trick really is amazing

Marks Classic force- This is Marks approach and handling at the classic force, instead of taking a card you touch a card. I remember him teaching this in his lecture then after performed it and he fooled some guy with it over and over again.

the Full list of tricks is,

Marks card in wallet,
Think of a card
what pocket
Coins accross(no shells)
LTP peek and steal
Card under glass move
Two glass transpo
Stuck up monte
thinking straight
Coins through table
Card under glass transposition
Marks classic force (aka the attitude force)
Incredible wallet move
Signing off
Blink, (performance only)
plus tips, gags and ideas

This is really is my favourite magic DVD (out of 5,) as he is a pleasure to watch and so funny, definetely one of Britains funniest magicians, these dvds contain a lot of quality material.

Difficulty- I suppose it range from 2-5

Price- £25- from JB magic

Rating- nine and a half because a couple of tricks use gimmicks (but thats my opinion)

Thanks for the review, i might look in to this one.

This is a great double DVD set, i highly recommend this.
