Move Monkeys are going to love this DVD! An incredibly beautiful principle that is as finicky and move knacky as it is pretty. The applications of Nova are many fold. Just the color change alone is beautifully visual and *** near impossible for the spectator’s mind to work around. It looks like real magic! Everything that can be done with Nova all revolves around Shreko Howard’s pop out move. A card flourish that pops a card out from the middle of the deck. With the right practice though Nova can become quite a versatile little miracle maker. The only drawback is that you’re going to need to practice! This isn’t a trick you’re going to be doing five minutes after watching the DVD. But it is pretty, and it is well worth it! I HIGHLY recommend you check out Avi Yap’s Nova!
