Don't even know where to start. This pound for pound the best value for your money. The slights
alone taught is worth the price for someone who doesn't know to do them correctly. The trick itself
is pure GENIUS. WOW!!! The ending is a 1-2 punch knock out of an effect. I did the effect dead
on the first try. Easy to do. Daryl breaks it down so easy. And what you'll need most likely you
already have around the house. EXCELLENT!!!!!!

I have had this effect for a while, and have experimented a lot with it. After buying the right
sized envelopes the rest is easy to make/do.
This trick has an amazing impact on the
spectator, and as it is easy to do you can focus entirely on your audience management/interaction.
I absolutely love the idea with 3 selected cards, a real fooler dooler!
In finish,
this is a must buy for anyone serious in magic, looking for an easy yet powerful card routine that
is a little different.
I have even have people ask to examine the envelope, HA!

Daryl has a funny style, but this also can be played quite serious with incredible results. Plus,
you end squeaky clean!

If you know magic, you already know the incredibly high quality of Daryl‘s work. If you don’t, this
is a great routine to introduce you to his style of magic. Daryl‘s magic is incredibly clean, clear,
fooling and entertaining for audiences. This rising card download is just another example.
Using props that can mostly be borrowed, including an ordinary deck of cards in an ordinary
envelope, Daryl has created a routine that gives you all of the advantages of a card stab, without
requiring a table or a knife. The “gimmick” is an everyday object that you can carry with you and is
rung in and out in the cleanest possible way.
The routine requires some basic knowledge of
card handling, and the rising technique is a little knacky, but Daryl clearly teaches everything you
need to know in the tutorial.
Once you’ve learned it, you’ll have routine that can be done
on stage, parlor, close-up or even impromptu! This routine, like so much of Daryl’s material, is a
magical “Swiss Army knife.” In fact, you could make this up with one trip to an office supply store,
making it a great “emergency” routine.
This is a real worker that is going into my
repertoire immediately.

Another awesome Daryl effect. Daryl gives concise, expert instruction. Simple to do with basic
sleight skills. Highly recommend this.

Maybe it's just me, but I found the 22-1/2 minute video a bit tedious in getting to the point.
Otherwise I would have given it a 5 because it's a really clever and impressive illusion. Sometimes
it would be nice to revisit "the old days" and have a PDF download of the basic instructions. In
this case, coupled with the performance video, the package would have been stronger.

The method of the card rise is not earth-shattering. I had figured out most of it by the time the
trailer ended. But the presentation is bound to bring smiles to your audience's faces, and if you do
the wrong card/right card gag, I think you will get some good laughs.
Daryl shows a heck of a
lot of ways to do the necessary card control, and spends too much time talking about ways to fool
other card mechanics (well, other magicians). I mean, how many lay people have ever even heard of a
little finger break? But, I just consider that stuff to be a free bonus chapter of card sleights
which just makes this download an even better value. Frankly, Daryl could have easily charged 2x or
3x the price.
Many iterations of the rising card have come out recently at various prices. One even sold for 100
dollars. Then Daryl comes along with basic office supplies and blows us away with something simple,
clever and deceptive. This was worth every penny.
