Four Pack - John Carey
Video Download This affordable collection is ideal for those of you trapped at home and looking for something of substance to get you through this... mess.. The Ad Copy reads: Description: Four slices of brilliant, doable, practical card magic at a bargain price!! Grab this instant download video and get learning a quadruple punch of amazing card tricks. Running time - 36 mins John Carey has a well-earned reputation for creating elegant and commercial card magic and these four routines will show you why. 1. Triple Prediction: Another beautiful construction as this time John predicts three cards and the actions of a spectator in a delightfully devious fashion. Super strong and commercial. 2. Deja Boo!: An uncanny demonstration of Deja vu using a lovely presentation and a beautiful Larry Jennings move. Squeaky clean and so practical! 3. Ambitious O'Henry: A beautiful multi-phase small packet ambitious card with a very sweet off balance transposition! Simple, subtle and strong. 4. Time Traveller: Watch Carey demonstrate time travel with this awesome little piece. Utilizing a brilliant but little known Brother Hamman idea, you will add this to your repertoire immediately! My thoughts: Triple Prediction... This remake of a Jim Swain effect is, as the ad copy promises, the most commercial of the four. I will say it is also my personal favorite. I thought I knew the premise of this effect when I first saw the video.. but I was wrong... and I'm glad. It uses an Al Leech move.. (Al created, among other effects, Red Hot Mama) which is the only real move in Triple Prediction. It's not difficult, and shouldn't deter anyone from a purchase. The effect uses three marker cards and three predictions in an envelope. The spectator dictates where the marker cards go in the deck, and the location matches the three predictions. And No, it's not achieved like you think. I think you can even perform this one for your magician friends... Very recommended. Deja Boo !!... Features a Larry Jenning move.. and a very good one at that.. Three cards are fairly selected from three portions of the deck.. and when they are placed back in the deck.. the spectator is allowed to pick three more cards from the deck.. and guess what? The results are the same. A true deja boo moment.. I'm sure many of you will pick this as your favorite of the bunch. It will be well worth you time to learn.. Ambitious O'Henry This is a Cameron Francis inspired effect.. and I have yet to meet a Cameron effect I didn't like. I like packet tricks during walk around.. and this is a nice packet trick with the four Aces. It's, as the copy states, an off-balance transposition.. and I couldn't agree more. Take the time to learn this one and you'll use it over and over. Time Traveller Time Traveller is a quick effect that looks darn near impossible. It Uses a convincing card control to work an Ace of Spades through the deck. The Ace turns into another card.. and then back into the Ace. I think this is the type effect that will strike some of you hard.. depending on you style. All four effects are worthy. There's nothing here that shouldn't be. And for the money.. it's a very nice value. John is undoubtedly one of the very top presenters in all magic.. and you can't go wrong with this super-affordable packet. $10.00 From Murphy's Magic and dealers who carry their Line of Magic.. https://www.murphysmagic.com/product.aspx?id=59446
