 Hey everybody, welcome back to magic orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a magic review Hey today, we're gonna look at the gaff system from Daniel Madison, Eric Jones, Kale Morelle and Adam Wilber What is it? It is a it's a gaff system You're getting a DVD and you're getting a gaffed deck of cards that goes along with the instruction The two work hand-in-hand you can't really use the DVD without the deck and you can't really use the deck without the DVD So they kind of married together you have to use them together This was released through illusionist and if you'd like to learn more about this product, you can visit illusionist.com But in the meantime if you want to see what it looks like here it is That was the gaff system from illusionist.com We always ask a couple of questions about all of the magic videos and the first of which is what is in the box What's in the box? You're gonna get two DVDs. There's two DVDs inside of this The teaching is split up between the four different people and Daniel Madison, Eric Jones, Kale Morelle and Adam Wilber They split all the teaching up There are some live performances not all in fact a lot of the tricks don't have live performances And then you're getting this deck of cards this deck of cards right here That looks like one of the artifice decks one of the standard artifice decks from illusionist. It's in the emerald Color it's in the emerald tuck case and in this box. You're getting 54 gaff cards Okay, all right So standard questions like is it what I thought how are the angles how much practices require how much stuff And reset is there can it be inspected all of that varies from trick to trick And you're gonna have to just take into consideration that they're all gaff tricks, right? And so you're gonna have angles you're gonna have issues with Things being inspectible and so just going into it you understand that this is gaff magic And it's kind of a little different than the standard card magic also that said Because these are artifice brand gas you're gonna need to go out to illusionist.com and make sure you have an artifice brand deck To perform with it. So you're not just pulling these cards out of your pocket You know you get you have the emerald deck that matches the gaff set or you've got the cobalt blue or you've got tundra white Okay, and so there are gaffs in this tuck case that'll match every single one of the different artifice decks Okay, so just going into it Just know that you're probably gonna have to have at least one of the other colors in order to perform some of these tricks All right So I want to go through the cards in the gaff deck really quick Not gonna really tell you what the cards do not gonna tell you the reveals the magic tricks But do want to show you just the cards are included so you can see how many you're gonna get of each effect and then Tell you a little bit about what it might require in additions. Alright, so this first card right here This is for a trick called mismade Jack and to do this trick You're gonna have to wreck one of your normal jack of clubs from an artifice deck So you'll have to take a normal jack of clubs Destroy it and make an additional gaff And so if you want to replace your jack, you'll have to buy a second Artifice deck, so that's just a heads up. This trick is a card reveal for a trick called chap trick So it's a chap stick reveal. So you're getting that many cards To do the effect for this this card right here. This is for a trick called TNRT It's a torn and restored tuck case effect and as you can see you get one card for every single color of the Artifice series, so you only have one and so if you're gonna do an actual physical tear You'll need a second tuck case every single time you do the a trick This is for a trick called shadow play and as you can see it's a pretty cool gimmick with and you get one For every single one of the Artifice decks this card You can use over and over and over again unless you decide you want to hand it out if you want to hand it out Then you'll lose it and you'll have to replace it. This next gimmick is for a trick called meld Okay, it's a torn and restored trick kind of and you'll have to make your gimmick from this There's a little bit of arts and crafts, but in the end you'll have a pretty cool Gimmick you'll be able to use over and over again So this next set of cards is for a trick with the kings and it's called horcurs and as you can see that's how many cards you get For that and so it's kind of just like a four phase King routine and so that's pretty cool These next two cards are for a trick called morph or you're literally morphing one card into the next these two Cards are for a trick called side effect as you can see it looks like the side of a deck of cards I like this trick. I wish they had talked about how to get into this trick. There was no video explanation about how to set it up but Yeah, these two jokers are for a trick called on point as you can see one's pointing one way and one's pointing the next and You'll be able to use these jokers over and over again These next set of cards is of course for Daniel Madison's infamous angles the trick Usually with this trick you can only do the trick once with every single card Daniel does offer a way that you can do it Over and over again, but I think this trick works best when you give these cards out as a souvenir These next couple cards are for a trick called half vanish And it is a card you can reuse over and over again These two exploded kings are for a trick called magnify and again It is a trick that you can use multiple times these next three tuck case cards are for a trick called peak box And to utilize these three gaffes you will have to destroy a normal tuck case These cards right here are for a trick called immaculate reconnect It's a trick that is a closer for a Paul Harris effect And these last two cards are the label from a water bottle that you can rip off and then reveal the card All right, so it's the overall quality and production value of the DVD. It's high quality high quality DVD Great studio great live performances all shot in Las Vegas, and you can't go wrong with any of these great teachers So how's the teaching the teaching is? Kayla Morelle does all the live performances. He does them on the street in Las Vegas, but like I said There's not that many live performances I would have liked more especially more for the money that you know, you're paying but maybe something happened that footage was lost I don't know And the second thing I had about the teaching was even though you got all these great teachers They do go over the slides that you need to know but they don't necessarily teach you the slides or spend a Lot of time on them so you're gonna have to either already be familiar with the slides or Learn them quickly from the short amount of time that they give you on the DVD They're not really they're not really holding your hand through this DVD. These aren't baby steps These teachers are probably Expecting you to already be at a certain level of magic going into this. Alright, so what are the positives? Positives for the gas system. These are crazy gas tricks crazy gas tricks that are very creative mostly More than likely a lot of magicians have never seen gas tricks like this especially Spectators have never seen gas tricks like this. So I think one really cool positive to this is they're very creative very outside the box Very All some of the positive is you got really great teachers. I mean wow to have this Assembly of minds all on one DVD Peter McKinnon is even in there somewhere and he he makes the parents And so that's cool too great minds great teaching highly recommended. Alright, so what are the negatives of the gas system? Like we say right here. There's negatives to everything These don't have to be the negatives that you see you these are just the negatives that I see Most of the tricks on here are Disposable, okay, meaning you're gonna tear things up. You're gonna tear boxes up You're gonna tear cards up Okay, and that's gonna require of you to have more cards if you want to do the trick again My advice when you do some of these tricks make sure you're doing them for multiple people Okay, you're spending some money on this so make sure you're getting banged for your buck Some of them are gonna be hard to practice because you're gonna have to practice tearing and once you care something you destroy it So practice maybe on things that you don't care about So that there is some disadvantage to having a lot of disposable tricks It means that you'll have to repurchase Either the standard art of this deck or you'll have to repurchase the gaff deck in order to do some of these tricks over and over again Especially if you hand out and give away some of these gas And I think this is what these guys would recommend. This is what I would recommend This is gonna be the most powerful thing is for you to give your gas away and I know you're thinking I spent so much money on this I don't want to give it away. I want to keep it So that's the problem with some magic is that we show somebody a special card and then we pull it back like oh This is special, you know, I paid a lot of money for this or I bought this So I'm gonna keep this but truly if you were a magician and you could really do the things you say you do You wouldn't care about letting people keep the gimmicked cards because in your mind you're thinking I could just make another one And so I think there's some element to giving these cards away Destroying them that's gonna be more impactful for your magic But you might think that's a disadvantage when it comes to cost another disadvantage that I found there's a trick in here called porters The and the backs of the cards are green when compared with my actual Emerald deck of artifice the green colors don't match up. So the colors aren't the same I just kind of thought that was kind of lame. All right, so is it with your money? Kind of like what I said before in the the negative section. It is seventy five dollars seventy five dollars You're getting 15 tricks now that's seventy five dollars for the DVD and the deck. Okay? That's what it is together once you have the DVD you don't need to buy it again You can obviously just continue to buy the deck. I think it's around twenty five thirty dollars somewhere in there So I think yes with the right perspective thirty five dollars is is a good price Some of these tricks you can do over and over again You won't need to replace the tricks. Some of them you can do only a few times You'll get you'll have to get a new deck or get new gas for instance angle z You can do that trick seven times But you can only do it three times in green and four times in blue Okay, just as a just as an example, but like immaculate reconnect You can only do it twice you can only do it once in green and once in white And then you'll need a brand new Artifice deck again to do the trick Magnified though or on point you can do those over and over again So that's a plus side But I think if this is the kind of magic you want to do then it's definitely worth your money All right, so who would like this? I think anybody who's fans already have Daniel Madison Eric Jones Kailin really Adam over would like this I think anyone who's been a fan of any of the illusionist gaff decks that have come out in the past I think would like this I think if you just love gas magic and you like all that crazy stuff Or you collect gas cards you would definitely like the gas system from illusionist calm All right, so that is my review for the gas system from illusionist calm If you'd like to purchase your own you can find it at illusionist calm
