Just received this DVD and I wanted to post a quick review...
This is not your ordinary card trick DVD in that it is not shot in front of a studio audience.. instead, Ryan presents a number of his favorite Stewart Judah card effects more or less in conversation mode with Bushwalla, describing the derivation of the basic effect, the thinking behind the enhancements or slight twists in handling along with his presentational context. The effects presented are well within in the reach of someone just getting started but more experienced card magi will find them to be worthwhile additions to their finger-flicking repertoire as well. I admit that I didn't know a lot about Stewart Judah's work but Ryan provides a wealth of information which makes viewing the DVD both educational and entertaining. The production quality is excellent and Ryan's explanations are clear including the sleights used and the psychology behind some of the handling. there are 8 effects presented (over 90 minutes), almost all of which utilize some very clever subtleties to create the magical effect, along with a bonus effect which is an enhanced handling of Ryan's marketed effect, KickBack. I recommend the DVD if you're looking for some card magic that's easy to do, will fool your audiences and allows you to focus on your presentation. |

I just recieved Ryan's latest effort. As with all of Ryan's products the production value is top notch. Being a Cincinnati guy and being a friend of Ryan's I can tell you that this is a great video on some straightforward yet very clever card magic. Ryan's explanations are clear and concise, the camera angles offered show everything that needs to be shown (there aren't any crazy sleights to learn).
Stewart Judah's magic is showcased well and Ryan has added interesting touches to the effects. Enjoy! |

Ryan is great! I have no second thoughts on picking up anything Ryan puts out. This is a must.
