Included in this download are:
Off Balance - A three step visual teaching guide on a card workers sleight of hand move that utilises the idea of making a mistake to produce a card from the pack ‘accidentally’. This looks incredibly smooth and after bit of practice, feels completely natural.

Four Card Production - A single card is selected and lost in the pack, a card then ‘accidentally’ removes itself from the pack and your spectator starts to feel like you have made a massive mistake. You then magically produce their selection in a four of a kind explosion!

Your Card! - Learn how to change a card into any selected card in front of their very eyes with the use of the Off Balance move. A card is selected and lost in the deck, a random card is ‘accidentally’ produced, the card reads ‘Your card!’. You then turn that card into their selection right in front of them.

Double Trouble - Their chosen card is lost in the deck and in the mixing process not one but two cards are ‘accidentally’ removed from the pack, these turn out to be the two red Kings. Place those Kings into the spectators hands and get them to name their card aloud, their named selection will appear between the Kings.

Bonus:
Ghostfacer - A bonus move that you can use for Double Trouble or any kind of trick where you want to sandwich a selection between two cards. This is an extremely clever convincing control which lets your audience clearly see that there are only two cards in play when really there are three.

“It’s very rare that you come across a sleight which both looks and feels natural. Off balance is just that!
The move itself is just brilliant and the thinking put into the included routines is beautiful. This just highlights exactly why Criss Smith is a name every magician should know”
- Adam Cooper

“Off Balance is a surprise production of a selected card, there are so many applications. I can’t wait to learn it”
- Daniel Chard

I never imagined that this movement had so many interesting applications. Criss sleight of hands is fantastic and this idea is versatile, useful, aesthetic and intelligent.
This effect has encouraged my creativity and has given me good ideas.
I highly recommend this sleight! (@ragicalsleight)

Utility move to add to your repertoire Report this review

This is a great value download and a cool utility move to add to your set of skills with cards.

Criss teaches 4 routines in total. Three of them use the off balance move and the other is a bonus sandwich routine called ghostfacer. This was a welcome addition to the download too.

The main move is that you make a card spin out of the deck by accident, apparently a mistake on the part of the magician.

Criss then teaches 3 routines where he turns this apparent mistake into a success. The effects include a cool production of a 4 of a kind, a comedy wrong card/right card and a nice sandwich routine.

There are lots of possibilities with this move and my head is already buzzing with other applications and ideas.

Criss did a great job teaching this with his usual calm and relaxed manner.

Everything is clear, concise and easy to follow. For a great trick you can do any time with a regular deck of cards!

Amazing utility move with amazing possibilities Report this review

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with this download. OK the move is a little knacky but once you have it down it is great (it took me 20-30 minutes) also he teaches you 3 routines and you will soon be coming up with your own. It's a steal at under $10.
