Twenty, Gaston Quieto
VHS Video - 45 Minutes - PAL available
Cost: £22 - ish (mates copy, not sure where he got it from though)
Description
Advanced coin and card sleights, not for the beginner or faint of heart.
Review
The video starts off with a very cheesy intro, fast forward this and dont let it put you off, you are in for a treat.
It's split up into a 15 minute performance and then explanations.
From the vanishing card case intro to the card through table finale, this is strong closeup at its best.
Moves covered include Lennart Green's Top Shot, a Bertram color change, a very cool coin matrix routine and a one handed DL flipover.
If you are used to Ammar's style of explanations then you can probably forget this tape, it assumes an advanced knowledge of card manipulations and Gaston runs through the routines quickly.
But in my opinion it is worth it for the routine performance alone.
Difficulty
High difficulty, the top shot still eludes me and has done for a while, but I will overcome!
Rating
10 out of 10. (If you like 'hard' magic)
