 Hey everybody, welcome back to MagicRetroxy. My name is David and this is a Magic Review. Hey, today we're going to look at Devour from the Sans Mines and the Sans Mines team. Alright, so what is Devour? Devour is a really creative card trick. You could use it as the climax to your favorite ambitious card routine, but basically you draw a little angry face on your card deck and then it munch munch munches up all the cards and the only card not devoured is the spectator's chosen signed card. You want to see the trailer? This is it. It takes a vast collection of effects up your sleeve to be able to perform and impress anywhere at any time. And it takes a true professional to know which effects to perform to which audience. Now the truth is some effects work better for adults and some effects work better for a younger audience. There are only a certain amount of effects that work for everyone. We here at Sans Mines believe that we have the newest addition to add to this category. Check this out. So, oh this. Those are cards, right? Playing cards. Take any card you like and just sign your credit card number down. I was just kidding. Can you guys see the signature? Yeah, card and signature, right? I'm going to put all the cards back inside that. Is that okay with you guys? I'm going to draw a picture on the card. This is angry face. This is angry face. But he's sleeping right now. I'm going to wake him up. Are you guys ready? Wake up. It just opens up the eyes and mouth. I'm so tripping out. Yeah. See, he's super angry right now. He's going to eat all the cards. Okay? Don't worry. Just like that. Just put both hands together. Put both hands together. Watch. Every single card is destroyed. But there is only one card. It's still fine. And that was your card. That was your card. It's cute. It's entertaining. Boys love it. Girls love it. It's a standalone card routine that is sure to put a smile on everyone's faces. Guys, welcome to Devour. All right. So that was Devour from the Sandsmines Creative Labs. And a couple of questions we always ask about all of our magic reviews and the first of which is what's in the box? What's in the box? You're going to get the DVD, okay? DVD is 57 minutes long, so it's almost an hour. And then you're going to get a few emphasis on a few of the items needed that you will need to build this gimmick. How are the angles? The angles on this are sensitive from behind, okay? Sensitive from behind. And I've even watched a couple of YouTubers perform this magic trick. And I've seen them flash. Okay? So it's even possible to flash from the front if you don't know what you are doing. Can it be inspected? No, it can't. The card box cannot be inspected. It is a gimmicked card box. However, Sandsmines recommends that if you would like to have a inspectable card box, you could carry an additional one, a second one, a second card box in your pocket that your spectators could inspect. What's the overall quality and production value of the video? Hey, Sandsmines always makes great DVDs. They make great DVDs. HD, well shot. You always get live performances out on the street with Jason. And then you're going to have the back in the Sandsmines lab explanation. No annoying background music. Everybody's well-miked. Like I said, it's HD. You get good transitions. And of course, in that 57 minutes, you're going to get everything you need to know. Is it well made? Like I stressed earlier, it is a DIY. It is do-it-yourself. You will need to build this yourself. And a good portion of the video is strictly devoted to gimmick building. In fact, I think when I last counted, you need 14 items. You need 14 items to build this gimmick. And Sandsmines is going to give you four of them. Okay? Four of them. And just to put you, just so that you know, aside from the do-it-yourself arts and crafts box kit that you're going to need of glue and knives and paper and scissors and tape and all that. In addition to all of that, you're going to need four, count them four, card boxes to make this. How much practice does this require? The trick is virtually self-working. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's virtually self-working. It's very simple to do. Skill level would be beginner on up. How much setup and reset is there? As far as setup goes, like I said, there's the DIY of putting this together. In the video, I believe there's 23 minutes devoted to building this gimmick. So 23 minute gimmick build. And then after that, the reset would just be taking all those little card pieces and putting them back in your gimmick and you're good to go. Positives. All right. So what are the positives to Devour? Devour is a fun and very entertaining effect that is sure to make your audience smile. And it's a great way to end your very favorite ambitious card routine. 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. I'm going to go back and say the negatives are the DIY aspect. There's just a lot to build and a lot more that you need aside from what they give you. And then you couple that just with the cost. The cost of this is $30. So I'm going to say, is it worth your money? I really don't think it is worth your money. It's 30 bucks. 30 bucks for a DVD that's not even an hour long. And they only give you four out of the 14 things you're going to need. The way I see it is you're going to have to put more money into this. I mean, chances are you don't have four card boxes lying around. So you're going to have to go buy four card boxes. And the only way to do that is to get four decks of cards. So you're going to have to add the cost of four decks of cards onto the cost of this trick. So I just can't say that it's worth your money, but you're going to have to decide that for yourself. Who would like this? I think people that like to do fun entertaining magic like this, people that like to do walk around it in your character is humorous. If your character is humorous, you do magic to make people smile, giggle and get a laugh. I think you'll definitely like this effect. All right. So that is my review for Devour from the Sans Minds Creative Labs. As always, we ask that you like this video just so other people can find it faster. And I want to thank Murphy's Magic for allowing me to have this trick so that I can do the review for you. And if you'd like to purchase this for yourself, you can find it from your very favorite Murphy's Magic dealer. Thanks. Bye.
