 Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a magic review. Hey, today we're going to look at Only Slightly Slighty by Ryan Schlutz. What is this? This is a DVD. DVD with seven effects that Ryan's put together for you and they're chiefly easy and like the title suggests, they're only slightly slightly. Most of them can be done with a borrowed deck. Hey, you want to see the trailer? This is it. Ryan Schlutz, big blind media. There's even a little bit of Liam Montier in there too. So all coming together to give you just an awesome killer DVD. Let's talk about it. What are you going to get? What are you going to get in the box? The box is a DVD. It's only a DVD. There's nothing else to it. There's no gas. This isn't gas magic. Okay. The DVD, like I said, it's got seven effects on there. Each one of the effects has a presentation with live spectators and then, you know, a behind the scenes and then there's a couple of extra videos on there that we'll get into later. Is it what I thought? It's exactly what I thought. The ad copy is pretty straightforward. You know, the focus of the tricks on the DVD is giving your audience the feeling that they have control of everything. Ryan has honed and refined these routines with the implicit target of making the audience feel like they have made every choice because then if they make the choices, then the tricks are really magic. It's this masterclass in audience control and relaxed misdirection. You're going to have a lot of fun performing these routines and you're going to fool a lot of people. All right. So what's the overall quality and production value of the video? It's just like every other big blind media video. It's shot in like this rustic barn. It's got HD cameras. Everything's well lit, well mic'd. Ryan Schlutz is a great teacher. Liam Montier is there that can help you through and like be your eyes and be your voice for questions. There's always live performances with real spectators. So you're getting everything you could want from a DVD. All right. So what's taught on the DVD? What are the effects and how do they go? Future card. This is a prediction effect where you and the spectator each choose a value and suit and then it matches the spectator's chosen selection. There's a trick on there called shuffle therapy where both the magician and the spectator shuffle the deck under impossible conditions and the magician finds and reveals the card in an impossible way. Long way out is where the magician and two spectators each cut to their own four matching cards. Any card to any sum is an any card to any number that you can do with two spectators. There's a trick on there called magic camp which is huge. It's an eight minute routine where two spectators select a card and then lose it in their own packets and then through a series of shuffles that they make their chosen card is turned upside down. There's a trick on there called combined which is another any card to any number where spectator one chooses the card and loses it and spectator two shuffles cards at random to get a selected number which reveals spectator ones card. And then lastly there's we do as we do which is a really fun you do as I do effect. Plus there's a couple of bonuses on there about pencil dots and edge marking which Ryan's going to show you how to use that so that you can instantly deceive tons of people. How much setup and reset is there? Like I said earlier there's no gas these are mostly routines that anyone can do with very minimal slides. Positives all right so what are the positives to this DVD? Ryan Schlutz has created seven wonderful effects where seemingly the spectators make all the decisions and yet you're always two to three steps ahead very simple effects very powerful results. Negatives all right so what are the negatives? You know like we say around here there's negatives to everything these are just the negatives that I see they don't have to be the negatives that you see. Not really a lot of negatives to this it's this is pretty good. I think the only takeaway would be you're going to need a table for a lot of these. You're going to need a table for a lot of these because you're handing your cards to your spectator and they're shuffling so a lot of this is table magic so just know that going in. All right so is it worth your money? It's only 27 bucks 27 bucks for seven tricks and a really cool tutorial on there I think it's definitely worth their money. Ryan Schlutz is an awesome teacher big blind media makes great DVDs this is worth your money. Who would like this? Like I said people who do table hopping people who probably go from table to table think restaurant magicians would love these corporate walk around definitely this is your wheelhouse yeah all right so that's everything I can say about only slightly slighty by Ryan Schlutz and big blind media I want to thank big blind media for allowing me to have this DVD so that I could do the review for you and if you would like to purchase this for yourself you can find it at bigblindmedia.com or wherever quality magic tricks are sold thanks bye
