Sleight of Hand with Cards by Eddy Ray

Postby trickyricky » Apr 10th, '06, 23:23



Anybody know anything about this DVD? I've just won a copy of it on ebay but i dot know anything about it apart from what it contains! Couldnt find a review on here but i'll be sure to post one when i recieve it!

Is the material taught well? Is the material good and actually useable? It was cheap, guess i should have thought to ask on here before i bought it! Oh well!

Thanks, Rich

haha, I acculy pm him today with the same question...




here is his pm to me:
Yes i got them about 2 weeks ago. ive only watched through them once. I was going to post a review but never had the time!

They are very good dvds. Excellent quality, and you get A LOT of material to work with and practice on. Great value for money even if you only use a few things from them. He goes through the sleight first in real time and then explains how to do it. He gets through the sleights very quickly and, sometimes, too quickly. Theres a lot of interesting stuff in there. If you can get it for £20 or less, i'd go for it, i dont think you can miss out! That said, i havent watched the last bonus dvd yet.

Hope that helps you a little bit!

Rich

Thats why i told you about it AFTER i won it!!

Like i said, if you can get it cheapish, you should get it. Its well worth it for just some of the stuff you get! Some of the things he explains could be applied to stage magic more than close up, but he goes over some over things, such as colour changes, get readys, flourishes, etc, that anybody could find a use for.

As soon as i find time, i will post a proper review. Im currently working towards my exams, so am finding time a luxury to come by.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I'm certainly not go to get into a bidding war on it, as there have been quite a few sold already, and I'm sure there will be more to come.
