Magic Tricks

Most of the effects on the DVDs use the theme of gambling, and if you're interested in gambling effects at all, this DVD is a must buy.
Besides the cutting to aces, deal royal flushes routines, the two best tricks on the set have to be the Memory Opener and the 456-Packet effects. Both are absolutely baffling, give your audience a lot of freedom, and are extremely easy.
It's true that Sal performs these without any exciting patter, and the tricks would seem like they're made for fooling magicians if presented that way, but the methods and effects are STRONG if put in the right context.
I put off writing this review until I did the two effects above in my latest card act, one as my opener and one as my closer. They received as good reactions, if not better, than my old opener and closer. I'm a little disappointed to see my proud card to spectator's pocket routine go, but it only shows how incredible this DVD set is.
