The Effect
There are 11 self working card tricks in the video along with some bonus instructions on shuffling and cuts

Contact Colors (Aldo Colombini)
Impossible (Mike Austin)
Shuffling Lesson (Chad Long)
Henry Sugar (Liam Montier)
Pre-Prefiguration (Larry Jennings / Mark Elsdon)
Your Aces Are Marked (Terry Lagerould)
Shufflebored (Simon Aronson)
The 7/16 Club (Alex Elmsley)
Impossible (Larry Jennings)
4,5,6 (Al Thatcher)
Unbelievable (By Shields, F. Michael And Bascom Jones, Jr)



Cost
23.12 Euros


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)
I would say 1-2. Whilst the tricks require no skill you will have to go through the routine for each one a few times so that you can present them in a slick manner. No sleights required though, learn the routine and have fun concentrating on your presentation.



Review

First of all, I want you to know that I am a semi professional close-up magician and have been for over 10 years. During my magical career I have spent a lot of money on tricks only to be disappointed and having wasted my money. When you hear a title like "self working card tricks" you may automatically think that this is a collection of amateur tricks. Make no mistake, these routines are diabolical, even to a magician audience. Of the 11 tricks contained in this video I know that I now have at least 6 or 7 that I will have for the rest of my life and all I need are my trusty deck of cards. In my opinion, if I had paid 60 Euros for this video I would not have been disappointed. If you watch the sample video and love that first trick then be assured that all the tricks in the video are of the same quality. As Paul Zenon notes in the video, just because they are self working tricks, at the end of the day, the audience does not know that - all they know is that the tricks are truly baffling. I admit, when I watched the tricks being performed I had no idea how most of them were done so I was like a kid all over again eagerly watching the explanation afterwards. The guys do a terrific job in explaining every part of the trick so that there is no confusion.Take it from a discerning magician, this is worth every penny and you will not be disappointed.

Overall
Best video I have purchased in 3 years. To pay 23 Euros to have 6 or 7 diabolical self working tricks for the rest of my life to do with a regular deck of cards is fantastic value for money. These are commercial level routines.

You're not alone in that respect!!

Henry Sugar and Shufflebored are both relatively old routines ( Henry was reviewed here almost 10 years ago at viewtopic.php?t=2275, Shufflebored is mentioned in the lengthy review at sutra170958.php some three and a bit years later )which, with any luck, means that few performers will be doing them these days so it's unlikely that your specs will have seen them - a big plus as far as I'm concerned!

How cool is that? I spend just a few minutes giving my honest opinion on this video and I have just been sent an email telling me that I have received a full refund. This is because other people have bought this video based on my review. I'm going to add more reviews in future. It is well worth the time. Great job guys, keep up the good work at Talkmagic TV!

I have to be honest, I'm not sure this is a good thing! (Although I'm pleased you got your refund!)

This policy could easily lead people to write good reviews for mediocre products in the hope of generating sales and effectively getting paid for it!

For me, one of the strengths of talk magic is the impartiality of the reviews section, and I feel this idea will damage that. After all, would you trust a review saying how amazing a product is, when you know that if the review generates sales the reviewer will be rewarded?

I know that I'd hate to see the integrity of talk magic a reviews section damaged...

It was never our intention for people to write dishonest reviews of the downloads and we have not asked for this! We certainly would not want our forum regulars to be misguided into buying downloads which are substandard under any circumstances.

The real value of these reviews to the TMTV shop, is the discussion which they generate. Since the review directly links through to the sale page of the download, it will generate search engine traffic directly to the TMTV page and not actually necessarily via the forum review pages.

Having said this, I can understand your concern would certainly not want the good character of the reviews area to be tainted, so I will look into a solution.

Best regards
Laurence

Just to reinforce the above, as none of the Modsters have any financial involvement in TM or TMTV, we are still strictly impartial and will monitor, and moderate/edit, any and all reviews posted here for several aspects as per the rules & regs and the templates in use. It doesn't matter where anyone buys and item or download, the criteria for all reviews is the same - honesty and courtesy when posting any comments.

And I'd like to add that I was in no way suggesting the integrity of those running Talk Magic, TM TV, or any reviews posted so far are at fault.

From my experience, this site, and everyone involved in running it have been out standing :-)

So... Please now head off to TM TV and see what's there!

Back on topic...

Ultimate Self Working Cards Tricks! Absolutely superb! I love it. I think my best purchase last year :-)
