 Hey everybody, welcome back to magic orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a magic review Hey today, we're gonna look at dark slide from Chris Ramsey and Murphy's magic. Alright, so what is dark slide basically the magician? fans the cards the spectator can select one card from the fan and Then just by touching the fan again their card visually Turns over you want to see what it looks like? This is it is magic a Better question might be what is magic to you? Is it a visual moment? Is it creating something impossible or unexplainable? Or maybe it's about connecting with people leaving them with something unforgettable It's magic to me I Don't think I figured that out yet. It's Chris Ramsey and this is dark slide. All right That was dark slide from Chris Ramsey. You might remember I did another review for Chris Ramsey We did red pill. Okay, and then we just recently did his deck of cards Memento mori both of those are awesome. We should check those out as well So a couple questions we always ask about all of our magic reviews and the first of which is what is in the box It's not really a box. You're getting a little tiny black envelope and inside the envelope is your one Gimmicked gaff card. Okay, and then in addition to that you're getting a little piece of paper that gives you the download code Okay, so it's all contained in that little flat Office envelope. Is it what I thought not no, it's not I really thought this would have a lot more sleight of hand involved and it doesn't so it's really Sleight of it's really slight free. Okay, the gimmick actually does all of the work for you How are the angles on this? I would say they're extremely good. I would say they're a hundred percent good There's no real reason why somebody would need to be behind you because all the magic is taking place in Front of you, but if somebody were behind you, they wouldn't see a thing And like I said, it's instantaneous soft working and very eye-catching. Can it be inspected? Yes, because this is one of those types of gaffs that the audience never sees This is an invisible Gaff meaning it stays in your deck the entire time when you actually hand the card out at the end You will be giving your spectator the real card and the gaff card will remain in your deck completely hidden What's the overall quality and production value of the video? Chris is teaching this between two really close wall dividers and he's speaking to the camera and a really bright light And so it's kind of a very creative environment and then I'll have his swipes between segments They're all memes and internet videos that Kind of resemble Chris's off-beat humor you do get multiple camera angles and the video itself is 27 minutes long Chris gives you everything you need to know. This is a wonderfully produced video. Is it well made? It's very well made Chris did not invent this gimmick. Okay, and he does give credit where credit is due So this quick this gaff itself is very old very old but what Chris has done is he's revamped it So he has made some improvements to it both in how it's constructed and then also in how it's presented So that is what Chris is bringing to the table And I think what you get in the end is a really well constructed gaff How much practice does it require? Not much. You really only need to know how to force a card That's pretty much the hardest thing you're gonna have to do is force the card Beyond that you might have a concern that you know Chris does a perfect fan in the video and he does He does do a perfect fan in the video and so you might be thinking well Do I have to be able to do a perfect fan? No, you don't you don't have to do a perfect fan You just have to fan the cards it probably will look better with an imperfect fan probably So I would say don't even worry about that part Like I said the only thing that you'll need to do is stack the deck and then force the card and you're Done positives one of the positives to dark slide Chris Ramsey's dark slide proves that vintage ideas can be cool again. This is a powerhouse prop Negative one of the negative there aren't any there are no negatives. It's a great prop to great trick Chris is awesome The video is awesome Murphy's magic is awesome. You can't go wrong. Is it worth your money? It's only 20 bucks 20 bucks for a handmade prop and a 27 minute video Yes, who would like this fans of card magic fans of Chris Ramsey fans of people that want to do spectacular eye-catching in your Face magic.
