Rob, you've got to do 'Quantum Leap' - it's fantastic and creates a great response. Someone who loves my card stuff told it was the best they've seen me do.
The beauty of it is that it's simple to perform and so visual. I hope Mr Forrest does a follow up DVD.

Thanks for that, Freddie - I'm going to be putting that one together over this coming weekend :D

It looks slightly more sleighty/involved than Super-Fly, but - as you say - the actual effect (especially the signed-card version) looks like a total killer :twisted:

I'll let everyone know how I get on with it :wink:

To be honest I have been adding and removing this from my shopping card for quite some time. After some time off magic I think it will be my first purchase , it sound so great !
Now the question is whether I'll leave it alone in the cart or "Strip" will accompany it :D

Rob, it looks sleightly, but when you run through it you'll find it's a lot simpler than it seems. After an hours practice I had it nailed and was comfortable to perform it.
I usually have a deck set-up and ready to for QL, then switch to a duplicate. It really is good. You'll enjoy performing it.

:( Out of stock at BBM and at MagicTricks.co.uk :cry:
Any ideas when it will be stocking again ?
And just another small question what is the difficulty of most tricks ? Would a 1-3 cover all of them ?
Thanks !

Alex - try here: http://www.magicbox.uk.com/shop.php/sho ... p_776.html

Looks to be in stock, and Magicbox are demon-fast shippers too :D

As to difficulty, I've only run through a couple of effects so far, but - having watched the remainder - I'd say 3 is the max difficulty, so I can't see too much finger-flinginging being required on your part :wink:

You won't be disappointed!

Let us know how you get on with it bud?

Cheers :D

Rob

Personally my favourite has to be 'blurred'. Its a very visual colour changing deck (probably my favourite that I know of). You hold two piles of cards, turn them over and back again. The deck has changed colour, all apart from the specs signed card of course.

I love that one and it only requires a couple of gaffs stored in the card case with minimal setup.

I'll have to have another jeffy at quantum leap whenever I get back from my holiday. You guys have reignited my interest in it.

Can anybody please help me? I'm having terrible problems controlling my streetmagic- I can't walk down a street without turning into a pub.

Blurred Deck is excellent and one of the best colour changes I have seen.
Not performed it yet, but it's definitley one to add to my set,
Jackass and QL are the two I perform most. (Though 50/50 is nice and easy - a good handling of an old classic)

I must say it's very nice to have all the required cards supplied with the DVD. I probably already have most, if not all, of the gaffed cards but it's still nice to have them included with the package for those of us who need them.

It's a perfect example of how magic DVD's should be.
Great effects, well filmed, all gaffs included. And all the effects on there
are usable in performing situations. Top marks!

Agreed that 2-faced is well worth getting. Quantum leap is the one I've had the most mileage out of. Gets fantastic reactions. Most of the time its stunned silence
