I need a review of this I saw it on ellusionist.com but I don't know if I trust them anymore.
your magic is only real when you believe it's real.

Search the Café for it, it's been discussed a little bit. I just received this yesterday, and he really is incredible to watch. I really love the Magic Castle performance part. What a talent. As far as the learning section goes, I haven't completely finished it yet, but the parts I've watched are clear enough to learn from. A few angles on each move, and a clear voice over. It doesn't dwell on the moves or go quite as in-depth as most magic dvds you're used to, but with a few viewings, you should be able to learn it well enough. Even if I don't learn to do any of the moves, I'm still happy that I have the DVD so I can watch him perform.

Thanks for the input.

I can tell you one thing. The DVDs are not teaching DVDs. It's like Steve Forte's GPS tapes. They're great to watch. But they don't tell you how the moves are done. They are just demonstrated.
All the best, Michael |

It's worth it. Try getting it from Meir Yedid instead of ellusionist.

The DVDs are not teaching DVDs. Not so, this DVD goes into great length to cover the moves from every angle and teach them to you. At least as much as I have seen so far...great coverage on shuffles and some cuts. I really like the way the explanations have been shot. Each move I have seen is very clearly shown. I can't believe more people do not know about or have "The Cheat" by Richard Turner. It is available from your favorite dealer because it is being distributed by Murphys Magic Supplies. Cheers, Tom |

I have seen the rest of "The Cheat" where you can find false shuffles, false cuts, and false deals very well filmed to teach you exactly how Richard Turner does them. I wish they weren't named after cards and instead had their actual names, but this is some of the finest, most detailed footage of these moves I have ever seen.

Thanks Tom. I ordered this and can't wait till they arrive. I read on these forums that Richard is blind. Is this true?
Thanks |

He's legally blind. Some type of Macular degeneration. The Macula is the part of your retina where your main focus is, so my guess is that Richard either can't see anything he looks directly at, or sees it poorly, and that most, if any of his visual ability is in his periphery. This is just a guess based on one of his comments on the DVD though.

The Cheat is amazing. Mr. Turner goes into a pretty darn good explaination on everything. The picture quality could be better but, you can learn a lot from this dvd that will be helpful to your card magic. The material will take practise though like all magic should.

Has anyone else noticed the strange sounds going on in the background throughout the entire narration of "The Cheat"? Anyone know what this is all about?
