24 SEVEN - VOL 1&2 available for Instant Download at Talkmagic TV - click here for details
Yet again, another couple of brilliant dvd's from John.
Priced at £19.99 each, or £39.98 for the pair.
All card magic on these dvd's, except one bill switch, (Simplex Transpo) a slightly different handling to his other routine on "Handle With Carey" I like them both.
I'm a big John Carey fan, I love his direct approach. Easy to learn card magic with out the need for any complicated slights, but still achieving strong magic in the eyes of the layman.
Don't get me wrong, there are some wonderful card manipulators out there, with fancy cuts, & flourishes, but John just seems to have this knack of being
able to take the same routines, & simplyify them, yet still have the same end result.
Over 24 routines, 4 hours in total, including a PDF file with more material. I think that works out at £1.66 each fantastic value for money.
All the routines are performed with live spectators, then again with fellow magicians, each routine is then explained in detail by John himself.
Good easy to follow instruction, with good camera angles.
I would put both of these dvd's into Intermediate/Advanced level of difficulty.
All of the routines can be done using a borrowed deck, & all the routines are fully examinable at the end (no gaffs)
I haven't got many dvd's where I would consider learning all the material on them, this is one exception. All very good strong magic.
If your looking for a new addition to your card magic dvd library, then this is a must have set. Scores 10 out of 10 for me, & I can strongly recommend them.
