GLIMMER review:
Wow!, what can I say, this ebook has something for the gambler, magician, even Mentalist, plus an idea from Mark Elsdon. First off, you get an 8 page pdf with effect, method, setup, and then some extra handlings and ideas. I would assume that glimmer would play well with laymen!! The setup will take you no more than 5 min to do. The method is very good, and I can see myself doing this! I will set it up this weekend and let you all know..... I also need to setup for Marks INEVITABLE, which is also great!! Anyways, if you havent seen the youtube video I suggest you do, as the effect is exactly that. There are variations on GLIMMER......the magician effect....which you saw on clip The mentalist effect.........which is great! The gambler effect....Rus favorite method An idea by Mark Elsdon, that I am going to have to try....and much more! Numbers has been a real hit for people I have showed it to, now GLIMMER!! Cant wait to road test it... Alex
PRESET by Alex Alejandro & Dan Harlan now available for a special introductory price!

Rus Andrew was kind enough to send me a copy of his effect "Glimmer". The following is an unbiased review:
Amazing! Quite simply put, it truly is amazing. The basic effect is a visual, beautiful, revelation of a card. This all happens in a physiological and well constructed manner. What makes this amazing is how versatile it is. Rus includes a mental, magic, and poker version. There is also a stellar application from Mark Elsdon. You can set up this effect easily made in a matter of minutes. I tried it out on the ultimate critic: my mother. Words can not expressed how amazing she thought it was; her eyes looked like they were popping out of her head. What I really like about this is how versatile it is. I am steadily becoming a fan of Rus Andrews. I think I will soon buy Numbers. 5/5 Your Thinking Cap |

I was also chosen as a reviewer for Glimmer and I've got to say, it's a very ingenious gimmick!
I haven't had time to play with it, but if you like what you see in the demo, that's how it really looks! There's potential for this gimmick, and I also like Mark Eldson's take.. it's also easy to use! All in all, this is a nice piece of magic! Very visual! BTW, if you haven't already, also get Rus Andrew's NUMBERS routine! If you like a hands off open prediction card type effect which also has a CAAN type of feel, you should really look into getting it! Thumbs up from me for both effects! |

Visual mentalism, who'd have guessed!
This new ebook has a variety of magic and mentalism variations, all built around one core revelation/transformation idea. But what an idea! It is simple and easy to learn, but very powerful. I think that Glimmer is going to end up in the repertoires of a LOT of performers. When done (again!) Rus, Keep 'em coming! ME

Didn't realise thier were 2 threads on this..
Just to mention from earlier: I took this effect out tonight and used it at a working gig, this is Superb.. stunned my spectators, and ends clean, I watched the demo vid and thought this was going to be some well hard knuckle busting sleight but I was mistaken. Super easy to perform and really visual. Great work Rus again, Keep them coming |

Here are my belated thoughts on this effect,
Glimmer - Rus Andrews This is one of the effects that can really draw an audience in. Really visual, really simple and really impressive! Package - This is a great ebook full of ideas to get you thinking and everything was explained quite nicely. You can tell this means a lot to Rus. Method - All is explained and is easily workable in a short space of time. Maybe don't expect this to work as your first ever card based effect but if you can manage a deck of cards, you can do this. The variations are explained enough for you to use them and also to include a variation that works with your style. Effect - This plays exactly as described and is entirely useable in a set as much as any other card effect would be. I think this works best in a friendly kind of setting if you are going to use the given routine but I use it along with a few other ideas to make it work in a more mental way. Workability - You could use this anywhere, it says resets in seconds but I wouldn't even mention a reset time. It ends clean so if you have a picky audience that is totally fine. It can be big enough to play to slightly larger audiences but is great if you are looking to impress a spectator. Overall - Fits really nicely into any routine and is entirely workable from the ebook. If you can hold a deck of cards well you can probably do this trick. It shouldn't need to be said but it plays exactly as described. Might start making my own "Rus Andrews" Routine as part of my repertoire! Great stuff and plays really well!

Just a quick thing, I performed the blank card version of this over the weekend, with a thought of card presentation this was visually stunning and the spectator went nuts.
well worth giving the blank card version a run. clever thinking by Rus and Mark Elsdon. |

Hi,
I perform magic just for hobby and I prefer mentalism to card magic. I don't personally know Rus but I red about his tricks here on the forum so I decided to buy something from him. Everything I bought from him is great and his service to the customer is always great and fast. The ebooks are well written and simple to understand. Then I had the pleasure to receive some ebook from him for testing purpose. Of course since I do magic for hobby, my review can not be so good but even a novice point of view can be usefull. I tried the basic version of the trick with my girlfriend.....and what I can say is that the reaction was great. She is still asking me how I did it ! Thanks Rus! |
