This is one of my favorite DVDs. I really like this DVD and the routine that is performed in the
beginning. Getting to watch Greg perform is an invaluable lesson in audience interaction and
management. The tricks are very well-routined and thought out. You will have to practice, but the
material is well within the reach of anyone who puts in the work. Joke in the box is an awesome
'card under the glass' style routine and Reset with a Hook is one that you will be performing all
the time.

Hi! This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.
Like almost all Greg Wilson's work, this is a good DVD that contains great effects and is taught by one of the great magic teachers in the world. I will say though, as much of a fan as I am of Greg Wilson, this is NOT one of his best DVD's. I felt On the Spot was made better, more entertaining, and easier to follow than this one. The pacing is a little weird on this, and the teaching, though effective, isn't as relaxed and smooth as On the Spot, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of the immediate 5 I would normally give anything by Greg Wilson. If you are interested in really good card magic, and are a fan of the Greg Wilson style of magic, I would definitely recommend this. Be prepared to work though...the effects contained are not the easiest things to do! As with everything, practice makes perfect....especially here! Did this review help you?
One of my favourites.

This was the first magic video I ever got, I remember getting it on VHS and watching it over and
over. Every effect on here is simply brilliant and you learn so, so ,so many sleights and effects
which make it excellent value for money. As always Greg Wilson is funny and friendly in the
explanations which make it a pleasure to learn from him.

here is a DVD that is a great one to aspire to. Wilson shows some wonderful tricks, and with enough
time, just about anyone could master these illusions. Sometimes, I've found that beginners have a
little more time on their hands, so this would be a great video for them. If you're looking for a
quick trick to learn and wip out on the fly, this is probably not for .

The effects on this DVD can tear you up. Ti really takes you to the next level.
The performance and Gregs jokes are worth the price of the dvd but it really is the effects that you need to look at. Reset with a hook happens to be my favorite because it is just to commercial. You really cant go wrong with this buy. Did this review help you?
It's Gregory Wilson . . . duh

Gregory Wilson is a stud. I love watching him perform in front of an audience. He really knows how
to have a good time and have fun with the audience, and most times it's all about having fun and
less about the magic. Watching him perform is truly astonishing.
This video, Card Stunts, is loaded with good solid material. His Heavyweight boxing routine alone is worth purchasing this DVD. This is a fast-paced routine where the card box appears and vanishes and the cards end up in the box and out of the box. Super smooth, and super entertaining. This was a Penguin Magic production, and the quality is top notch. The only major complaint I have about the product was the fact that he performed Paul Harris's effect Double Decker, but did not explain it. If you're familiar with Paul Harris and his work, you're likely familiar with this effect, but it would be nice to see his tips and pointers and his handling. I don't mind a DVD that has a performance only section if it's part of a trailer or an advertisement on the DVD. However, when it's part of the performance routine, and they don't teach it, it's a bit annoying. A lot of this material was Paul Harris-based. In fact, at least 4 effects were basically Wilson's handling of Harris effects. However, it's still worth it. Wilson brought some groovy ideas to the table. Phoenix Split is a variation of Las Vegas Split by Paul. Also, Reset with a Hook is, of course, Paul's Reset effect. This one, I will say that I liked Wilson's handling until the end. It was a bit anti-climatic. The end was supposed to be the "big change that makes this version better," but I'm not seeing it. Moving on, Boomerang Card of Death is awesome, and will likely take you the rest of your life to master, but so worth it. Another thing I've noticed about this and other Wilson videos is that sometimes the performance is done one way, and the explanation either leaves out a step or is different from the performance method. Such is the case in the performance and explanation of Boomerang Card of Death. Boxspring is a killer effect where the four aces "melt" through or "pop out" of the closed up card box. G Force is probably, in my opinion, the weakest link on the DVD. It's basically him forcing the same card on the same person 3 or 4 times in a row with a transpo at the end. It's all a bit confusing. Finally, Revelation in Spades is an excellent effect. This is basically a thirteen card revelation without having cards selected. I read Marlo's ten card revelation in his book Early Marlo. I thought the revelations were beautiful; in fact I use some of them to this day. However, I didn't like the idea of having 10 cards selected and returned. The rythm and pacing of that can be a bit boring. Wilson's effect, Revelation in Spades takes the selection and return process out of the mix. This really is a thing of beauty to watch when Wilson performs it. As he points out several times in the DVD: he's a really lonely guy. It shows by how dang good he is. GEM! Did this review help you?

If you like Gregory Wilson's style of magic then this DVD is for you. Some of the stuff on the DVD
will take A LOT of practice, and other stuff not so much. You also learn a few great flourishes that
I use all the time, even in other tricks. Gregory's presentation is hilarious and I think this is
perfect for all Wilson fans. If you are looking for a few great card effects to add to your routine,
this is a great buy.
