Killers is a great video.

Sympathetic Soup is a close-up version of Sympathetic 10, which is a minor miracle where a spec shuffles an entire suit (i.e. clubs) and the suit from the deck (spades) is in the same order, can all be done on the fly/jazz and the spectator is heavily involved. Due to the construction of the effect, it is very deceptive and impromptu.

Randall flag - if you can do reasonable math in your head. You can do a very strong find a card routine.

Fifth Wheel - is a great use of the Marlo displacement move. A strong, deceptive, and compelling force of a single card.

Put is a spin-off from an old routine by Eddie Fields which is great. The spectator shuffles the deck. Makes about 6 piles of cards, the top card of each pile is written down on a pad of paper. One of the cards is circled by the spec. That card vanishes from the deck and can appear elsewhere. Strong magic (period). More like an exclamation mark!

YAMFACAAN - an impromptu reasonably easy any card at any number routine. Genuinely any card, genuinely any number. One small sleight and it all looks great. Very well constructed. Good misdirection to help protect the sleight.

Tupalo Paul - A great gambling routine, not too much memorization. Easy to do. Strong magic.

Little bonus along the way, a tip from Michael Skinner on a force everyone is using. It tip adds a nice layer of deception to a classic.

Fair deal Kid, is a routine where the spectator is the dealer in which they deal an excellent hand to themselves using methods of cheating which are taught to them moments before the effect is performed. You also can build a nice little gambling prop, great for a good story about the “luckiest night of your life.”

C3 Con Cam Coicidencia - this is a miracle period. Shin Lim has performed it on television. If you perform for family, friends, paying Fortune 500 companies this is a must. It receives crazy responses from audiences. My wife said it ranks close to “Out of this World”

And finally, if you do Chad Long’s shuffle lesson there are some great comments, tips, and additional to add more layers to make this a true showpiece.

Overall this is an excellent DVD, for all levels of skill. Great routines for many situations. Everything is explained very well. Buy it, enjoy it. You will not be disappointed if you are a close-up performer of cards.

Well worth the cash!
