Review
Ok then, do not be put off by self-working at all…if you do, you'll be overlooking some very fine effects. Theres 12 chapters, 65 effects in total. Not all are my cup of tea, but I have discovered several fantastic effects that allow you to completely concentrate on the delivery, and more importantly adapt them to your style of magic.

My particular favourite was Opposite twins - two stacks of red n blacks - ace thru to 5s…they are cut several times by the spectator, then picks a card - top or bottom each time you take the other, 4 cards are then turned face up and mixed and cut, choices again…then finally you show 3 stacks of 2 cards, everything is then turned over - they all match…ive used esp cards myself…but you could also link this trick into a synchronisity type thing and then link into say Out of this World…

It sections are as follows:
Personality tests
Impromptu
Klondyke Shuffle
Interactive Poker
Red/Black tricks
Marked for Mystery
Mind Reading
Novelty tricks
The deck is stacked
Red backed blues
Roll the dice
X-Ray vision
Card to wallet

So, say you find only 3 effects you like and use - that’s what? 2 quid a go…not to be sniffed at. But I would say you will find at least a dozen that you'd use - or at very list adapt slightly…

Overall

No maths involved, no masses of numbers or positionings to remember either. Possibly more suited to intimate gatherings and table-hopping, but basically - the genius is in the presentation…

nice review thank you
