 Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a Magic Review. Hey, today we're gonna look at Revolution by Greg Wilson. What is it? Basically it's a utility that allows you to take a deck of cards, put it on your finger and spin it for about 20 seconds or so. It's a pretty cool effect, it's very visual. If you wanna see what it looks like, this is it. Right over here, as far over as possible. And again, this is his very first try. Look at that, come on. Come on. Red or black? Hard or diamond? Which diamond? Two, three, four, five, six, so which one? Seven of diamonds? Watch, done. The card that you name is the only one that's completely spun until I do the spin again. Watch right here like break dance and watch. No, it should be done. My name is Gregory Wilson and I'm here to teach you how to take your cards out for a spin. Take, cut, print. All right, so that was Gregory Wilson. If you don't know who he is, you've been living under a rock. He's an American magician. He's a two-time FISM award winner. He's also known as the honest con man. He specializes in close-up magic, sleight of hand and confidence magic. This trick was published by Murphy's Magic. All right, so a couple of questions we always ask about all of our magic reviews and the first of which is what is in the box? What's in the box? You're getting this really cool, hard-shelled box. Within that, you're getting the gimmick and you're gonna get a couple of cards, gaff cards that you can use with some of the tricks that Gregory teaches you as well. Is it what I thought? It's exactly what I thought. Watching the video, I kind of thought, well, if I were gonna do it, I would use this and surprise surprise, that's exactly what it was. I pulled out of the box and I didn't even need to watch the video. I knew exactly how I would use it and I was pleasantly surprised. So maybe if you come up with your own kind of idea, maybe it's what you thought as well. But I think the advantage is being able to purchase it so that you don't have to make one for yourself. How are the angles? The angles on this are almost non-existent. Gregory will teach you this that you can pretty much cover any angle that you'd be worried about, even showing the box from all sides, pulling cards out of the box. This video is an hour and 32 minutes long for a little trick that takes 20 seconds to do. So Gregory really covers every base and I think if you watch the entire thing, your angles will go down to zero. Can it be inspected? No, it can't be inspected. Gregory probably will teach you a way that you could get around that. But I think if they said, here let me see that box and you said, well, first let me do something. So I really don't think it can be inspected. All right, so what's the overall quality and production value of the video? It's perfect. It's shot in HD. Greg's clearly mic'd. You have a nice white background. Greg transitions from one really cool tight shirt to another. He does, like I said, give you a ton of content including some magic tricks. There's even a really fun little bonus kind of like outtake thing at the end. There's just so much contact on here. It's ridiculous. He's definitely giving you your money's worth. Is it well made? The gimmick is well made. I sit in my written review that it would last you a lifetime. However, Gregory thinks that there are some things you could do that might break it, but I think that I think you'd have to really try. You'd have to be very clumsy. You'd have to be very kind of not paying attention. I think with some practice I think this gimmick could last you forever. How much practice does it require? The lineup on this makes it sound like it's insanely easy and anybody can just pick it up and start doing it right away. I don't know that that's really true. Greg even admits in the video that there is a lot depending on this trick being successful. One of the things is, of course, practice. He does say that a solid hour or even up to a week could be needed to really perfect this. How much setup and reset is there? Setup initially isn't very difficult. Probably take you a minute and then the reset on this is zero. Positives. Positives for this, of course, flourishing are so popular right now, especially the pirouette flourish is something that a lot of people do. This allows you to do a pirouette flourish with an entire deck of cards sealed in their box. And so it kind of gives the illusion that you've got skills for days. I really wouldn't do this maybe for a magician because there's a lot of magicians that know this exists and so they're not really gonna believe that you have those skills, but I think the average person would be blown away. And there's so much content on this DVD. Like I said, Gregory is giving you so, so much. There's just positives and positives and positives to this wonderful trick. All right, so what are the negatives? Hey, like we say around here, there's negatives to every trick. So these are just the negatives that I see. They don't have to be the negatives that you see. I do have a friend that owns this as well and he and I both agree this hurts. It doesn't feel very good. Maybe you were a lot of practice, you'll develop some sort of callus, but initially this isn't a very fun feeling trick to do. Is it worth your money? It's $35. And like I said, you're getting so much quality. You're getting so much content. This is definitely worth your money. I think at the end of the day, you probably still owe Greg another five bucks. All right, so who would like this? I think anybody like me who doesn't do flourishing, I think would like this because it kind of looks like, you know how to do a really cool flourish. But again, people who do flourishing, I think would like this too because it kind of takes flourishing into the magical level. And so I think there's something here for everybody, especially people who do card magic, I think would love this. And so that is my review for Revolution from Greg Wilson and Murphy's Magic.
