 Welcome back to magic orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a magic review Hey today, we're gonna look at whole 2.0 from mackayl chatlin What is it? It is a card through a card effect It's one of those tricks where you have two cards that act as a sandwich You have a center card inserted and then through magic that center card is able to escape without being detected If you want to see what it looks like, this is it. All right, so that was mackayl chatlin He is French. Hope I'm pronouncing his name correctly. You might remember I did a trick of his I did a review of his a while back It was print card. Okay, and so this is published from gimmick magic. All right, so what did I like about it? It's a great solution to the card escape trick I think it's very visual and I think it'd be a really cool trick to add To your street magic routine. All right, so a couple questions We always ask about every magic trick and the first of which is what is in the box What is in the box? You're gonna get your dvd. The dvd comes in French and English Okay, you're gonna get both choices and you're gonna get the four cards that you need to do the effect The good news is the four cards are completely self-working straight out of the box There's nothing to build and they are really well made. Is it what I thought? No, and I never would have thought of this. I have never seen Gimmick cards that look like this never in my life and I've seen lots Okay, so I never would have thought of this solution. It's crazy Wicked creative. Okay, let me just say that crazy wicked creative. How are the angles? They are almost a hundred percent I think that you could have people surrounding you completely even behind There's only one angle where it really wouldn't work But you would never have a spectator there anyway. Can it be inspected? Most of the cards can be inspected. The way he teaches the effect should allow the spectator to think that all the cards are clean There is one dirty card and that is the card that you can't have them inspect of course But like I said any other cards they can inspect and if you do the effect correctly I don't think anybody would ask to see the cards. Alright, so what's the overall quality and production value of the video? It is well taught. There are many phases to the teaching instruction. He takes you through it very slowly He's a very patient teacher. It is done in a clean Non-cluttery environment and you're getting one shot completely all the way through. So there's no extra shots There's no extra angles. You're just getting the one straightforward like waist-high shot of the cards on a card Map is it well made? These are all bicycle stock cards again. Like I said, I've never seen anything like this It's extremely well made when you look at this gimmick and you see the detail that was put into this You're gonna your mind is gonna pop. How much practice does it require? It is gonna require some There's some you know, there's some dirty work. There's some gimmickry involved And so that's just gonna be you and your timing and angles and I think you've got to get that down So that's gonna take some practice. How much setup and reset is there? There is some and it isn't some that you could show a late person You're gonna have to go off someplace and kind of reset the cards back to normal All right, so what are the positives for this? The positives for whole 2.0 are it looks very clean It looks very convincing what they see is really what's happening. And so I think it's a great Optical illusion that has no trace back They're gonna think back through how you did the trick and they are not gonna be able to piece it together because the element that would Fill in those blanks for them is completely invisible. And so that is really cool And I think that's what separates, you know mediocre tricks from awesome tricks. All right So what are the negatives to this? There's negatives to every magic trick It's what we say around here. So these are just the negatives that I see they don't have to be the negatives that you see Like I said, not all the cards are examinable You have somebody that really wants to grab all the cards You're gonna have to do some quick, you know shuffling or you know hit escape and disappear So there is that also Mikhail has a very thick French accent And so you're gonna have to pay very close attention to the things that he is saying Okay And so maybe you might have to rewind or just just focus you're not gonna listen to him while you do something else Okay, no multitasking or have to focus and just bring it all in and kind of listen to him and pay very close attention Is it worth your money? It cost 30 bucks, but it is absolutely worth your money This is a powerhouse trick and for the gas and the quality of the cars that you're getting $30 is a drop in the bucket Well worth this effect Who would like this a anybody that does card magic anybody that has done this style trick before but it's looking for a more Visual more stunning effect people that do walk around people that do street magic people that do Table hopping anybody that loves cards and card gimmickery would definitely like whole 2.0 All right So that is my view for whole 2.0 from Mikhail Chetlain And if you'd like to purchase your own you can find it on one of your favorite Murphy's magic suppliers.
