Reverse Rings Mystique: Magic More Series

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

reviewed by Brad Smithart (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Saturday 14 December, 2024)

This routine reverses the normal linking ring plot of sequentially linking the rings, instead focusing on the unlinking process (or "breaking the chain") and introducing several unique ring handling techniques. It is written in a somewhat scientific tone. It includes not only the mechanics but also the rationale for the choices made in designing the routine.

Ancient Rings Mystique

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

reviewed by Brad Smithart (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Monday 02 December, 2024)

This is an interesting philosophical and psychological take on this classic trick. Unfortunately, it is only a teaser for the actual content. It would have been nice to see at least one example handling.

Palm'r Clip: Magic More Series

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Sunday 23 July, 2023)

I learned classic palm and various finger palms of coins. I am sure I can get used to this "palm." There are good explanations and pictures. I am sure a video would be very useful too.

Glass Act: Magic Beyond Series

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

reviewed by DARRIN COOK (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Thursday 25 May, 2023)

Unfortunately, everything Pascal says in his review is accurate. For all the money being asked, there are no photographs or illustrations. Rather than give step-by-step instructions, the manuscript meanders, is overly wordy, and jumps from subject to subject. I don't know that I spent two hours, but I eventually gave up on trying to figure it out.

Glass Act: Magic Beyond Series

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

reviewed by Pascal Girod (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Friday 10 February, 2023)

I am sure the effect is great. Unfortunately, the author does not simply teach you the routine. Instead, he structures the instructions in a very complicated way and develops and uses a special glossary on various stratagems and deceptions and whatnot. And there are no pictures or photos to help. The result is instructions that to me are simply impossible to follow. I gave up after two hours. It's a shame because I was really curious if the author could hold up to his claims.

Ring and Silk Progression

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

reviewed by hal barlow (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Wednesday 23 February, 2022)

This is at best a mediocre trick. The author spends most of the book trying to convince us how presentation makes the trick into a minor miracle. It doesn't in this case. His theories on what makes a trick an experience of magic is very long-winded and tedious.

Twiddle

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

reviewed by John Scialli (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Thursday 05 August, 2021)

Looks as if it is introducing a useful mechanic. However, I find there to be a poor choice of verbs and adverbs. No drawings. Some discussion at Magic Cafe is not revealing and what is on YouTube is garnish. Leaves me feeling like a virgin (after 50 years of a sleight life).

Cup of T

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

reviewed by Roy Eidem (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Tuesday 08 June, 2021)

I purchased and read Cup of T. It is the poorest $20 I have spent on magic in decades. I was hoping to find something novel I could use. Tedious pages of definitions of different ways to hold a teacup. I have been doing Cups & Balls and magic for over 50 years. I found nothing I could use. A novice will get a headache if he can endure reading its entirety. I can not recommend this to any of my friends.
