it's tempting. very tempting.

Limited edition - only 150 copies.......(CUPS, CUPS, CUPS)

oh...oh... sucked in... had... to... buy... IT!

and, on first glance, it's fantastic value for money!

Don't hesitate for one second to buy this document if:

1. You are a card magician, and you want some fresh, clean and new ideas. Plus, you're into a bit of psuedo mentalism and you have an affinity for well written, humourous and precise instruction.

2. You have a spare £12 and you want to invest it wisely in a limited edition document which will no doubt have at least ONE thing in there that you can show off with

3. You don't mind sitting and learning a few basic card tricks which will sting even hardened magicians (Try Liam Montier's 'Aces & Kings')

4. You want to sample some of the most creative stuff the Underground Collective have to offer

5. Errr, cos you read Tom's Review and think it sounds worthy of purchasing?

No, seriously...

This is a great little document. And as for the Underground Collective's delivery method... let me just say that within SECONDS of my PayPal transaction being processed, I had an email delivery of the PDF. Outstanding.

Thanks to Liam for twisting my arm this morning! Mate, you should be a salesman! (joke). In fairness, Liam's arm-twisting was slight—as I was about to purchase the Handbook anyway... but he DID point out that I needed to get my skates on, as this is a 150-off limited edition.

Favourite so far, for it's simplicity alone, is (coincidentally) Liam's own effect, Aces & Kings - a marvellous 'do as I do' effect with just eight cards (four a piece, Aces and Kings, as it happens ).

A close second comes Safety Zone by the renowned Andi Gladwin... a pure and simple effect which is not only baffling but also has a nice little 'kick' in it's tail.

And rounding up the herd of my personal favourites is the first effect in the document, 2x2, by Jamie Badman - which is an unbelievably cheeky and bold card-to-pocket effect with a 'there and back again' theme. Two SIGNED cards just will NOT stay in the deck, and repeatedly appear in the magician's pockets - with apparently NO way of getting there.

The lovely thing about this document is the variety. Chucked in amongst the card effects are oddities such as the Psychic Weetabix effect mentioned by Tom—which although is truly bizarre, it's also one of the most inventive effects I've seen.
Plus, a rather ballsey mentalism effect called Hollywood or Bust—which I am assured by Liam is a real cracker...

The card effects do, however, come mainly at a price... which is that some of them are a little advanced in terms of sleights required. But that's not too daunting, as most of them are easily learned.

Overall, the best £12 I spent on magic, ever.

I thought we're talking about some sort of anarchist movement...

On topic: Indeed it's really tempting. Where I live, it's the collective of non professionals who usually invent crazy and funny tricks.

I've ordered but the download arrived corrupted and I've not yet had a response from the support line over the past 24 hours.

Can't wait to get my hands on it and hope they hurry up and sort me out!

I’m not disappointed at all with this e-book. All the routines are workable. If you don’t find a trick here that you like, then I will question your enthusiasm for our art. Well done underground collective for another great e-book.

Problem sorted and the Underground Collective support line was top notch.

Tom's review was spot on - this is an extrmely well presented manuscript with some impressive routines. One of the BEST ways to spend £12 on magic that you'll find anywhere!

I hope that there's a volume 2 somewhere in the pipeline.

I hope that there's a volume 2 somewhere in the pipeline.

...of course it could be argued that this is in fact volume two of the previously released Underground Collection vol 1. (with additions by guest contributors)

There are less than 20 copies of this ebook left. After these are sold, the sale of the ebook will cease.

Regards,

Jamie.
