 Hey everybody, welcome back to another Hocus Pocus Magic Review. My name's David and this is Quantum Angel from Paul Harris Presents with a little help from Brog Gilbert. What is Quantum Angel? I don't know if you remember this, but a while back Paul Harris actually released another effect called the Cardian Angel. Not Guardian Angel, Cardian Angel. It was a little card animation where the angel on the bicycle card like magically moved across the card and brought you a secret message. What Brog Gilbert and Paul Harris have done is they've taken that trick and just cranked it up for 2017. You want to see the trailer? This is it. Okay, what's her name? Riley. Okay. What's on the other side? What does it say? Anybody in your life that you're close with? Somebody who's almost like angelic like, you know somebody like that? Yeah, what's her name? Niceest person in the world, like almost like an angel. Do you know someone like that you have a close connection with? I'm going to try and write down what I think her lucky card is. Open your hand. I know you can do it. Okay, put your other hand on top. Put your other hand on top and on top of the, I don't want anyone to see yet. Just put it there. We'll get back to that later. Now, what I have here is a special pack of Angel cards. They're very rare. They look like normal cards, but they're made to do a very special thing. On the back of the Angel card, the angel is actually riding a bicycle. She's holding her hands on the handlebar and she's riding a bicycle. I don't know if you ever knew that or not. It's just a little interesting fact. Because if she lets go, she flies away. But anyway, so I want you to open up your hand. I'm going to go through the cards and all I want you to do is say stop as I go through the cards. What? Yeah, no, because it's a trick. Like when there's a certain number? No, whenever you feel like it. I'm going to go through and whenever you feel the need to, you just stop me. Are you sure? Right there? Okay, look, here's the card you stopped me at. I want you to peek at it. Do you see it? Do you guys see the cards you stopped at? Yeah. Yeah? And you too? Yeah. Okay, now you could have kept going a little farther if you wanted to, but you didn't. You stopped here and you could have even stopped at one of these cards if you wanted to, right? I didn't. But you didn't, that's right. So it was pretty fair though. What was the card you stopped at though? You can tell me now. Eight of diamonds. Eight of diamonds. That's fair, because I wrote down what I thought your friend's lucky card was going to be. You must have a connection with her. Eight of diamonds. What? What? What? What? That's fair to me, like that was actually it. This guy? Dude. You had that in your hand. Yeah. So there's actually something I didn't tell you guys about this deck. There's a hidden message within it. Do you see the angel in the center? Yeah. Did you see her do anything? Yeah. No? Here I'll turn around to the other side of the packet so you can see the other side. Did you see anything happen to the angel? No? Yeah. Let them go. All right, one last time I'm going to hold these up here so you guys can see. Do you see anything happen to the angel? Oh my God! Right? She has a message that she brought back from inside the circle there. Look, this is a message the angel wrote a message. What's on the other side of the message? Dude. Yeah, you can keep it. It's all you. You can keep everything. Can I hear it? Paul Harris presents Bro Gilbert. What a great combination. I love Paul Harris effects. I have a lot of Paul Harris books. I've reviewed a lot of his effects in the past. So I was really excited to get Quantum Angel. I want to tell you all about it. All right. So you get this in the mail. What are you going to get? You're going to get the cardboard folded over packet and then inside that you're going to get everything you need. You're going to get envelopes, cards, props, gimmicks, all the bells and whistles, everything you need. There's a little bit of construction, a little bit of construction, but it's not much. Okay? It's not much. You're not going to cut anything or paste anything or do anything like that. Don't worry. It's not that kind of arts and crafts. There's just a couple of things you'll need to do. But then once you do it, you're golden. It'll probably only take you like five, eight minutes tops. How are the angles on this? The angles on this are perfect. Really perfect. If you're already familiar with Dan Harlin's card tune, okay, that's a little party gimmick prop trick that you can do for kids and adults too. It's got the same angles as that. Okay? So think the same angles, same performance, almost the same everything. So if you're already familiar with that, done that in the past, you're going to be seamlessly into this effect. What's the overall quality and production value of the video? With this, you're going to get the download code. Download code to the videos like an hour and five minutes. Okay? The video's good. It's nothing to write home about. It's okay. It's nothing special. It's on par with other Paul Harris videos. If you've ever seen a Paul Harris video, it's like all those. You get, they're set up. It's filmed at a chest high level on a table. The camera pans with the teacher as they gesture or speak. So that's good. There's a full studio routine without edits. And you even get some on-screen text that clears up any confusing instructions. As far as what's taught on the DVD, Chris Turkey and Brandon David teach you two different versions. One is the, is the preset force that you don't have to, it's already ready to go. You don't have to force them anything. And the second one is kind of more on the fly where you do the trick in prompt to, and you do that with the person's name and a card reveal. On the video, you're going to get ideas for a preloaded message. Tons of tips and move advice. The full impromptu routine is taught twice actually once quickly. And the second time in a more longer explanation, there's even a Sengali deck routine included there. A gimmick repair section. And they'll even show you how to jettison the envelope out of the deck into your spectator's hands. All right. So is it well made? These are all bicycle United States playing card company cards. Okay. It's the standard Ryderback standard 808. And I should mention this at the very beginning of this, they say once they're gone, they're gone. And so what that leads me to believe, I don't know this, don't take my word for it, but what I think is this is probably Cardian Angel that was left over in the Paul Harris warehouse. And what they did was they unpackaged it and then repackaged it as this because bicycle no longer makes gaffed back designs. So these were printed back in the day when bicycles still allowed magicians to tweak the back design. So like they say at the beginning of this, once they're gone, they're gone. So if you want to pick this up, I would move fast. How much practice does this require? Like I said, it's not a hard trick to learn. It should feel the same as cartoon. What you kind of see in the presentation is really the only angles and moves. There's no hard slights. There's no hard forces. The gimmicks in this pretty much do all the work for you. And as far as reset goes, there's just a little bit of finangling, just moving some cards around, putting them back in the right order. And you're good to go. Positive. If I were to say something positive about this, Paul Harris has breathed new life into one of his classic card tricks and made it even more astonishing. Is it worth your money? It's $35. $35. And like I said, you're getting a ton of stuff. You're getting a lot of gas. You're getting an hour's worth of instruction. So definitely I think it's worth your money. People who would like this, anybody that does card walk around, I think this will fit. Just know that it is a packet trick. This does come as a packet trick. You can keep it all inside of a black envelope that goes into your breast pocket on your shirt or one of your inside pockets on your jacket liner. You don't have to add this to a deck. So you don't have to worry about adding this to a preexisting deck that you need to worry about keeping in order. It's a packet trick. You put it away in your pocket, and that's all you need. All right. So that was Quantum Angel. Paul Harris presents Bro Gilbert. If you'd like this, add the card. Add the card at hocus-pocus.com. I want to thank Hocus-Pocus for allowing me to have this so that I can do the review for you. I'll see you guys next time. Thanks. Bye.
