Magic Tricks

This is a collection of twelve great self-workers from Ryan Matney, performed and explained in the course of around 2 hours of video footage.

Despite the straight-forward mechanics, the tricks here have the potential to be quite strong. Some are better than others, but overall it's a fairly solid collection. This isn't a compilation of mediocrity, where only two or three tricks are actually worth taking a look at. Instead there's a good range of strong tricks, so you're certain to find material here that you can perform and will want to perform. I'd rate the majority of the tricks here as being at least 8/10.

As most of us will know, the secret to a good self-working trick lies largely in its presentation. That's one of the strengths of Ryan Matney's contribution with this video, because the dozen that are included typically have presentations that make the magic interesting and engaging, so that it's fun for both the performer and the spectator. This can of course be adapted to your own style and personality, but you're given some really good ideas to work with.

Like the previous entries in this series from Big Blind Media, the quality of the production is second to none. You get around two hours of footage, with state-of-the-art quality in terms of camera work and sound.

Unlike most of the earlier entries in the "Ultimate Self Working Card Tricks" series, this isn't really a greatest hits compilation gleaned from various creators, but it's more just a Ryan Matney collection. But even it's not entirely a natural fit besides the others in the series, it's still a very strong collection of self-working card magic that stands on its own as a worthwhile video for those who enjoy self-workers.
