crash course 1

Postby the_mog » Jun 4th, '03, 17:34



ok now before everyone starts going on about how much Brad Christian rips off other magicians/ is too expensive etc. well this review isnt about that, its about the video

crash course in card magic (downloadable) $27.50 = £16

Layout you get a neat little interface to click on whatever part of the show you want to see, tricks, sleights etc

intro
10 sleights/controls
6 effective tricks
wrap up

Production very well designed package with good lighting and "not too fast" instruction,Brad takes time to explain each move and offers advice on producing good results

Overall in my opinion this is a good start for those of you who want to get into card magic, nothing too hard for beginners but seasoned veterans may find it a bit easy hence the name "crash course in cards" possibly :mrgreen:

Oh and Brad gives credit to the magicians who invented the tricks, which seems to be a big gripe with a lot of people who have seen Brads videos before

His videos are good, people just got upset that he didn't give credit to the people whose tricks he was selling under different names. If he is now giving that credit then good, and he has gone up in my estimation for admitting he was wrong.
