Now in order to be fair, I have know Jeff for years, basically since I got into magic. That being said I'm going to review this download as if I had never met Jeff before.
TITLE and Creator: Split by Jeff Prace Effect: The magician takes out a pair of headphones and explains how they no longer work properly, as sound only comes out through one ear. The magician allows the spectator to examine the headphones and hear that music will only come out of one ear. The magician then causes the sound to swap ears, before finally repairing the headphones while they are still in the spectators ears. Price: $6.95 Teaching: Like everything the Blue Crown puts out, this download was very well shot. With great Audio and Video everything was crystal clear. There are two effects taught on this download, along with a breakdown of the concept, explanations for each effect, and studio performances. On the note of performances I would have loved to see some of the live performances shown in the trailer, as I felt that the studio performance didn't really do the effects justice. Jeff does a great job explaining how to prepare the songs in order to perform the effect, showing exactly what he's doing on his computer. Now I'm extremely familiar with what Jeff uses to prepare the songs, as I have been using it for the past 9 years, so there were some things that I personally would have done differently. However, for someone who is completely new to this, Jeff explained it perfectly. One other thing that would have been nice is if they used a Screen recorder instead of doing an over the shoulder shot, as it would have made the teaching even clearer than it was. Jeff does a great job going over every detail and you can tell that he has put a lot of work into this. Quality of materials(if it is a gimmik etc): As this is a download you don't get anything physical, but you are provided with two things to practice with so you can work on this right away. Difficulty: Technically this isn't a tough trick, its honestly more about showmanship and how you perform. Like all magic, you will need to practice it, however it won't take long to master Applications: Perfect for restaurant/bar magic, walk-around/strolling magic, street magic, or closeup magic. Honestly anywhere where it wouldn't be strange to have some sort of music player and headphones. Overall Rating: Overall I REALLY enjoyed this download. Its a fantastic take on the broken and restored headphone concept, and its something I've already started to perform. Its great because you aren't limited to what audio player you use (Android, iPhone, iPod, MP3 player, hell with a little work you could even get it to work with a CD player) or what headphones you use. While you can't borrow the device, with a little routining it wouldn't be that hard to do it with a pair of borrowed headphones. I'm actually planning on borrowing a pair of headphones, doing a traditional cut and restored headphones, and then "test" them out to tie into this routine. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wanted to add something new to their repertoire.
