I'm going to review these dvd's in seperate posts. Otherwise there is too much to read in one post.
BTW: Am I the only one or that tinks Richard Sanders voice sounds like Bill Clinton's
Effect:
Each one of these incredible DVD's contains several creative stunners that have been part of Richard’s close-up arsenal for over 20 years! You’ll learn underground miracles that are practical for real world use. Take your magic to the next level with The Richard Sanders Show!
cost: 30$
difficulty:
I would say, 3 - 4. Some easy effects. Some that use couple of sleights.
Review:
VOL2
Rising: It's a no gimmick rising card from the middle of the pack trick!
It's no gimmick so it means there are a couple of sleights involved that can be a little hard for the inexperienced.
But still, lovely effect.
Mr. Stickman: Straight out of Richard’s professional repertoire. A hand-drawn stickman VISUALLY JUMPS from card to card eventually coming to rest on the signed selection. A visual stunner that is super practical...classic Sanders!
It's one of those tricks you can implement in your ACR routine. I used it a couple of times and people seem to like it. But that's probably because my stickmen look like they've been drawn by a 3 year old
King Thing: The 4 kings vanish from the deck. When they make their appearance again, one is face-up in the middle of the pack, one is in the performers pocket, one is in the card case and the last one is found right under the spectator’s finger. And get ready for the amazing part...there is NO PALMING and NO EXTRA CARDS are used. It can be performed with a borrowed deck!
I couldn't believe it either. You show 4 kings, make them vanish and then let them appear in your pocket and in the cardbox, WITHOUT palming or using duplicates??? That can only be done with real magic!
But I was wrong. Richard Sanders found a way and man... is it simple. It just uses one basic sleight. The rest is just presentation.
Time Travelling Bill: One of the most logical and convincing uses for the bill switch! A old, worn out bill is transformed into a new one. The serial number is the same! A practical miracle you can perform everywhere!
Another Bill Switch routine with a nice story. Visual and hard hitting.
Slow Mo Aces: A SLOW-MOTION 4 ace transposition where every cardis shown. A real workers routine and super easy to do. The closest you can get to McDonald’s Aces with a borrowed pack!
A Beautiful transposition trick using the 4 aces. Some 'advanced' sleights are used. But hey, practice makes perfect right ?
Bill Anywhere: Imagine borrowing a bill and then having it reappear anywherethat you can imagine! This exciting new principle uses psychology to convince thespectator that the bill is definitely his! Lots of applications in magic!
This is not a trick but it's a principle like the card anywhere principle. Just use your imagination and baffle you spectators with some amazing magic.
Gone: You hand a deck to the spectator and from that moment on, YOU DO NOT TOUCH THE PACK AGAIN. The spectator selects a card from the deck and then shuffles the pack. At your command the card vanishes from the deck that the spectator is still holding, and appears in your pocket. When the spectator looks through the deck his card is missing! A REAL REPUTATION MAKER!and more
I like to perform this trick because of it simplicity and the fact you don't have to do anything. This trick requires some audience management to get away with it. But overall, great effect.
Overall
Like the first dvd, vol 2 has some strong effect that are perfect for close up or walk around.
