Video Reviews
Hi all Hope you are all well. I have been chatting with various people here on the café, specifically from the eBooks section over the last 2 weeks with an idea that may or may not help people with decisions when buying eBooks’/ideas etc. Looking at the wizard FX reviews for effects that are being released for me personally is great as I get to see the good from the garbage, also you get to see a performance and what it looks like every now and then which for me is a great visual convincer if I'm not entirely sure whether it would suit me or not. With this in mind, I thought about going about posting video reviews for EBook releases. The review would basically be a video of me discussing the eBook, the pro’s and cons of the effects included, and also a real world performance of me performing the effect/effects from the eBook so you the viewer will get to see the sort of reactions that can be gained from the discussed effect. I know what you are thinking, who am I to judge effects/eBooks –Fair Question. I have been performing professionally for 10 years in bars, clubs, corporate gigs and restaurants, I have a fair bit of knowledge what works and what doesn’t. Like I said the review would only be my honest opinion and give you the viewer and insight into how the eBook could work for you and how it looks in a working environment. We don’t see video reviews’ for eBooks, this I think I would be useful to both the buyer and the creator…… I would happily post a Video review once a week will a full performance of at least one effect from the eBook. Thoughts?? If this is welcomed I will get to work straight away. Anyone wishing me to review their work let me know or send it to Russel@deceptionartist.com |

Great idea - as long as you're still willing to do it, I guess you'll find many happy viewers!
Go for it!

Hey Think This is a great Idea..... Love it... as long as it doesn't expose the method... as in some cases effects can be back tracked on Video.. etc...
But when performed once seems ike a miracle and cant be back tracked if you get my Drift... I am sure you wouldn't do this ... but thought I would mention it... <:O)

Hi
I would ensure nothing could be backtracked, if I felt the method was transparent on video I would not show a live performance. I do feel this could be valuable to buyers and creators. If enough people are happy for me to do this I will start work on this tonight as I have received several requests already. All the best R |

Rus,
I like the idea. Tricks and DVD's are reviewed all the time, but e-books get less attention. I also think that e-books tend not to get the attention of so many of the hyper-marketed big-name releases. The live performance is a good idea. How many times have we seen a killer trick, only to be directed to a source that we had skimmed in print and dismissed? I think you have to be prepared to be the object of a Two Minute Hate. Not everybody (particularly creators/authors) will like your reviews. I'm reminded of one positive review where the originator was upset that the performance wasn't reverential enough for him. For all it's worth, I'd be glad to support you in this project. |

Hi
Firstly thankyou for all the pms and emails regarding this, also thankyou to all that have sent there work over to be reviewed. I hope this project will be useful and beneficial to creators and buyers of ebooks My first review will be up in a few days time. Michael Kettle sent me some of his work, and from my first run through of the ebooks they sound great, very clever thinking behind these effects. Michael is a performer from Poland, mainly into card magic. He has sent me 2 effects called NECESSE and ANILCRAM I will be reviewing both these effects and putting them through a test run during the week. Until then All the best R |

Thanks for all the people that have submitted there work for review
I had no idea it would be such a popular thing. I will pick ebooks at random. I hope I do them all justice All the best R |
