Just picked this up from Magical Sleight. If you like Daniel Chard's other work on his dvd released a while back you will probably like this. Same visual style, some moves but nothing too knuckle busting, same relaxed presentation from the man himself.

Although there are already a ton of Ace Productions out there I like the 1st one on this download and will be adding it to my repertoire because it is relatively simple to set-up and perform, and yet looks just as interesting to me as many of the more convoluted and complicated ones available. Particularly good for showing off to your card-playing pals due to its nice kicker ending.

His thinking on the 4 for 4 switches is interesting and I can see some people adopting these moves straight away. For my situations the Chris Kenner one works fine, but it's nice to see other ideas.

The variation on the Bertram Change looks wonderful and is very easy. I'll be trying this one out for sure.

As usual with Magical Sleights releases, the production looks lovely. The teaching is mostly done with no voice-over, just a few text lines to help out, and should work fine for those of us who already have the basics under our belt. As with many of their other downloads I think it is assumed that this is the case, so total noobs (beginners) may get a little lost in places.

Overall, If you like the trailer I recommend this. It's pretty good value for money and has a nice variety of ideas to play with.

It's called Violin, but they only showed someone playing a cello?

I'll buy almost anything and give it a try, but I didn't find the trailer that interesting. Maybe because it all looked like moves I've seen before ( which he did do beautifully ).

Hi fin thanks for your review very soon after buying it, I'm really glad your enjoying the material and hope they will serve you well on
Your performing repertoire.

Hi zombie magic, having bought a lot of the material MS has put out over the years , while some of the noes may have the same outward appearance of existing moves, mechanically their vastly different. Which can take existing effects to new realms of possibility and I also believe the moves will inspire creativity. As their very deceptive to perform and fun to execute.

Including the bonus theirs 5 items in total for 10 dollars, so 2 dollars per move. Nothing's held back and MS were a pleasure to work with our similar styles you won't be disappointed!

Kind regards and once again thanks for expressing interest in my work. It means a lot .

Watch it muted and play this in the background. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRqWWRCT5Cs&t=2m3s

It's great. At least as good as the Dark Side of the Moon / Alice and Wonderland thing.

Nice work by the way... I enjoyed it. Particularly the very visual color changes towards the end.

Thanks don dasher, I'm happy to know you enjoyed the material and hope you find something you can use . I have a killer colour changing deck that utilises the mechanics of the colour change, I'll polish the effect, film and share when it's done

Keep your thoughts coming in! Any questions ... I'm happy to help, shoot me a Pm or leave a comment.

Kind regards

Got this a couple of days ago and I really like it. Sky, the colour change and royal symphony were all incredible, personally I didn't like carmen as much. The bonus reversal was very interesting but not something that I see myself doing.
The download quality was very good (as you would expect).
Overall I thought it was a great download and daniel is a very talented card handler. So if you are an intermediate to advanced card handler I highly recommend you get this.

Glad you liked the moves and all the tricks etc the moves are open to a lot of potential variation and have been included in my repertoire for a small while
Now!

Don't dismiss the material as being difficult thought! It's a lot easier than first may seem! Literally any questions, give me a pm or email and I'd be happy to help

Sky is published in this months magic magazine in the talk about tricks, under the name of 'Inflight Switch'.

Had some great feedback regarding this! Your kind words mean so much to me!

Kind regards

Daniel Chard
