Jay Sankey's In a Flash DVD review

Postby funnyman50 » Apr 19th, '09, 23:52



This is my first review so be nice

Jay Sankey’s In a Flash DVD

What you get

1 disc DVD with a trick deck of cards.

What’s on the DVD

Instruction on how to do a great affect such as a member of the audience picks and signs a card, the card is put to the centre of the deck. A coin is borrowed and signed the same way you fold the coin in tissue paper then place the coin on top of the deck light it and the coin will fall to the sign card WOW.

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)

3-4 I would say some easy but some very hard to master.

My opinion
A great DVD well worth the money for everyone adds a bit of fire to you performance and a real stomper.

Er, isn't there a bit too much exposure in this review?

As already mentioned, always search for existing reviews before posting and if one exists, then just add your review to it. The TM search function is an acquired taste if you're not used to it and can sometimes return irrelevant results, but also try checking the review indexes. If you still get no joy then Google will always return any relevant results.

A single sentence summarising your thoughts that the product is "great" and "well worth it" is not really a review and doesn't help anyone who may be considering purchasing this. As a rule of thumb, if your review takes up less space than it takes to describe the effect, then you really should look at elaborating. Try to flesh out your reviews with the pros and cons of an effect as well as your personal experience with real world performances. In this particular case, is it suitable for beginners? If not, why not? Is it worth carrying around yet another gaffed deck just to perform this? What about the DVD? Was it professionally produced? Easy to follow instructions? What was the duration of the DVD? Is that adequate?

Also, try to use the review template (see the sticky) to keep things consistent. And sum up by giving your score out of ten; this helps to give people an at-a-glance result of your review. If you want and it's appropriate, you can also include a photo or two in your review; you don't have to do this, but I like to include photos in my reviews because it looks nice and I think it's nice for readers because images can help to break up a review.

I bet you wished you never asked for feedback now! :wink:
