Let's watch the trailer A little mystery with a pack of cards, but you don't have to choose a card. Okay. I'm gonna make a prediction Right. Now most magicians when they make predictions They take a piece of paper they take a pen and they write it down Some fold it up into a little square They put it in an envelope and then they seal the envelope up some take the envelope put it in a box Take a padlock and lock the box Right way too much time. Okay. I'm gonna make an open prediction a verbal prediction of a card. Okay And my open prediction today will be the four no the two of clubs the two of clubs Okay, what's my open prediction the two of clubs don't forget that yeah, okay, would you hold the cards for me? And what I want you to do is give me a little mix so cut off about a third of the deck and place them just there for me Excellent and cut off about half of those and put them there Beautiful and put those just there. Let me ask you Did you play any cards at all poker or not really? No, but you understand the cards. Yeah, okay Then why don't you just stack them up for me lovely now numbers play an important role in our lives Don't they Lucy you've got pin numbers house numbers Yeah, national insurance numbers lottery numbers Jim numbers as you can see my gym number expired about three years ago, but Numbers do play an important role in our life. Yeah, I'm gonna ask you to think of a number So we're not here all day. I want you to think of a number say Between 10 and 20, you know like 11 or 12, but don't let me influence you make it high make it difficult. Yeah, okay Could I have any way at all of knowing what number you're thinking of right now? No, no, absolutely No, it's the right answer Tell everybody what number you're thinking of 19 19, but you could have named 12 you could have named 14 You could have named 16. Yeah, I want you to pick up that deck for me. I Want you to hold it as if you were gonna deal in a game of cards And I want you to deal with the cards one at a time face up turning the cards over onto the table And we'll count that's one and continue two three four five Six stop there for a moment Lucy. Do you remember my open prediction? Yeah, what was it two of clubs great memory? Have you seen the tour club so far? Remember that's one two three four five six cards. Yeah, yeah, and you just thought of a number and it was 19 Yeah, so that's six one two three four five six carry on risk carry on seven eight nine Ten stop right there Lucy There's a two hearts. Yeah, I could have named that car, but I didn't name that car What's my open prediction the two of clubs? That's 10 so that's 11 12 13 the tension is building 14 15 16 17 18 stop right there Lucy There's 18 cards there. Yeah, there's black cards as red cards as picture cards as number cards Do you see my open prediction card? No, and you thought of 19 Yeah, you could have thought of 12 14 16 any number as possible How impressed would you be if the 19th card was my open prediction and remember you mix the cards? I'm very impressed because it's not possible. Well, I'm here to try the impossible Maybe mysterious forces are at work here in Shropshire today There's only one way of finding out turn that card over and show it to the camera and freak out My open prediction oh my god Just kill me All right, so that was John Kerry and big blind media a couple questions We always ask about all of our magic reviews and the first of which is What's in the box kids? What's in the box? You're gonna get a DVD. It's really just a DVD And there's ten tricks taught not really know how long it is because DVDs broken up into little segments, but there's a performance and a teaching for every single one of these tricks Is it what I thought? Yeah, it's what I thought. It's a DVD on simple card tricks So there's really nothing else to it. What's the overall quality and production value of the video? Big blind media always makes great videos all of the performances are shot In kind of like a big open space like a old rustic barn Townhome upstairs John Kerry performs all the effects for very beautiful very attractive spectators And then the reveals the teaching is all done with John Kerry Back in the big blind media studio with Liam Montier and it's nice to have Liam there because Liam Is there to ask questions kind of like be your eyes ask the questions that you would ask and he helps John Kerry? Teach this to you in a really fleshed out way. All right So what are the tricks you're gonna learn on this you're gonna learn a couple of Simple any card to any numbers you're gonna learn a trick with dice You're gonna learn a really cool take on Max Maven's One-handed card trick where you do the entire trick with one hand in your pocket the spectator selects a card The card vanishes from the deck and then when you pull your hand out of your pocket. It's holding the card that they chose There's a do as I do on there with two decks. There's a couple of prediction effects There's kind of like a modification of a 52 on one trick that uses a little bit of math And there's even a coin trick on there called make-believe, which is actually my favorite All right positives. What are the positives to sublime John Kerry has created a fun entry-level card magic DVD Breathing new life into classic plots young and old just starting out in card magic are gonna find some total gems sure to Peek their magic interest negatives. All right, so what are the negatives? You know like we stay 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 for me sublime was just a little too easy Okay, I love self-working card tricks. I do and I love all the self-working tricks that Big blind media has put out in the past. I love the ones with Liam Montier and the ones with John Bannon This one though was a little too easy a little too simple And so a lot of these tricks if not most of them if not all of them I was able to figure out how it was done before they showed me how it was done Like you just see it watching it you just know okay This is that and it's only because I've seen a lot of these maybe that's part of it But I I just also have a magician's eye, so I kind of always know what to look where to expect But I think this DVD would be great for entry-level magic So I think you know who would like this beginners. All right This is a great beginner DVD and it's so much better than a lot of the other Beginner card tricks that are out there that are like so easy anybody could figure them out, right?
