Card Stunts, Flourishes, Shuffles and Cuts, and Chiptricks..

Postby MarcLavelle » May 24th, '07, 21:12



these are a set of for DVD's, presented by Rich Ferguson available from www.chiptricksonline.com
they worked out to £22.91p, posted, and took less than a week to arrive, so the price is excellent for what you get. the summaries on the website, REALLY dont do the disks justice.

Card Stunts

there are about 40 different 'stunts' shown and explained on this DVD, they range from card switches, changes, deals, and reveals(in the dealing sense)

Flourishes

not that many flourishes on here, 12, in all, including spreads, fans, card springs etc

Shuffles and Cuts

Exactly what it says on the box, theres about 50 shuffles and cuts in all, shuffles include; riffles, overhands, hindu, faro, bridge, one handed, waterfall and loads more.
cuts include; standards, one handed, revolves, swivels, pivots, scissor, triple, 5 way, rollover, auto, and over 15 more

Chip Tricks

now, for someone who has never used chips before (i dont really venture to casino's), i found this one fascinating, and just after ordering this, i also ordered some Bicycle chips. the different skills and handling on this one seem to be endless, the box says 70 stunts, im not even half way through.


Cost

the cost for all four DVD's worked out to less than £23 delivered, but the exchange rate may vary slightly. for all four disks, posted, the price is, in my opinion, VERY cheap.

Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)


all the different skills, across all four disks, vary in skill, but each disks works up from easy to hard, so your not being thrown in in the deep end.


Review

wow, simply wow. its one of, if not THE best buys iv had in a long time, alot of the skills i already know, but watching them again, with a different method on some of them was very refreshing for me. also Rich Ferguson's instructions and demo's are very easy to follow, and most of the handling is shown from various angles, so nothing is missed

Overall

if you like your card handling, if you've never flourished in your life, if your an experienced flourisher who wishes to be refreshed, if you have cups, but have ran out of stuff to buy, if your a poker of card player, or a gambling addict, then you should definitely have this set!

10/10 for me.
