 Hey everybody, welcome back to magic orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a magic review Hey today, we're gonna look at cartoon 2 from Dan Harlan and royal magic. Alright, so what is cartoon? Cartoon is a card trick. You probably saw Dan Harlan do a version of this on pen and teller's fool list It's not exactly the same one. He did a special trick for a pen and teller, but if you'd like to see what it looks like Here's the trailer. Here's one of my favorites. This one's called cartoon one of the best card tricks I've ever seen Beautiful part about this card trick is I don't have to do any of the work. You see my assistant Bob is going to do the magic. There's Bob. Give him a big round of applause. He's a little nervous It's his first time on TV. That's Bob. Now. He only does one trick that he does it very well It's a pick a card any card tricks. So Maxwell tell you name any card. They're all in order So anyone you'd like. Jack of Clubs. The Jack of Clubs? Okay. Now we got to get Bob Pratt here He actually gets a peek at the card. So we're going to put it down. I'll get a peek at it. Are you ready? He's ready. All right guys bring him up Let's get him ready for action. Watch Bob at work In the cannon. Out the cannon. Do it. Come on Bob Don't let me down There it is The Jack of Clubs Give Bob a big round of applause There you have Card Tune 2 All right, so that was Dan Harlan. That was actually O's Perlman in the video but a very old school O's Perlman But Dan Harlan is the inventor behind this effect and this is the second version of it Okay, so a couple 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? Cards It is a card box that has cards inside of it. You're getting a full deck All right and in that you're getting a written instructions Okay, your instructions and how to do the trick will come on a piece of paper type both front and back Is it what I thought? It's exactly what I thought because as you just saw in the trailer That's what it is. I mean it's really nothing more nothing less. There's nothing to add or take away It is a deck and you're just learning how to do it. It comes in a deck stack and you keep it in that deck stack And the trick pretty much goes as is The neat thing about this is it is also repeatable And I'll get into that a little bit later How are the angles? The angles on this are really good I would argue that you could probably do this at any angle. You could do this in any setting Parties, close-up, parlor, I think would all work very well Table hopping, restaurant magic, walk around I think cartoon works great in all of these locations Can it be inspected? It cannot This deck is completely gaffed, completely marked If your spectator started going through this at least backside up They would see how the trick is done So please do not hand this out Let's do overall quality and production value First of which, the deck itself The deck itself was printed through Royal Magic And they used Fun Incorporated as their printer And I'll throw the jokers and the ace of spades up here for you If you recognize that ace of spades, recognize those jokers Then you probably know already the quality of this deck Very cheap, very cheap deck And it kind of hurt my expectations Because you know, this deck costs $15 For $15, you could definitely get this deck printed at a much higher caliber And part of this trick relies on you spreading the cards across the faces And it also relies on a few slides but not many Those would work so much better if the deck had a better quality control with the paper So you're really going to have to break in this deck You're going to have to break it in Really, really bend these cards up to get the air flowing So that these cards spread like you see O's do in the video When you take these right out of the box They're going to clump on you like crazy And they're not going to move very fluidly from one hand to the next So I would assume Fun Incorporated prints these for pennies So the markup to $15 is kind of high I would have liked to have seen Dan Harlin go with another printer On this so that you could get a better quality card The other thing about production value is the fact that you get written instructions I think in today's day and age it would have been just as easy On the little piece of paper that wraps around the deck Just to put in a URL and a download code You don't need to include paper instructions with this anymore Dan Harlin could easily just make one video Probably give you way more instruction about how to do this trick Probably some of his tips and tricks And just start releasing the deck that way And so that if I could just make that advice out to Dan Harlin I think we would all appreciate that Probably a little bit more And so just think about maybe increasing the quality of the deck Growing out some video instructions I think you'd have a bigger hit than you already have How much practice does it require? Not much, especially if you know your way around the deck already If you can do like one or two basic slights This will be very easy for you to do How much setup and reset is there? Very minimal You're keeping the deck in new deck order the entire time And every time you do the reset You're just sticking the deck back in your new deck order And you're good to go Positives Alright, so what are the positives to card tune to? First positive is it's multi-generational I think you can do this trick for little children And they will see how magical it is And you can do this for adults And I think that's great Very rare that you have magic That is intergenerational like that Second positive I would say is it's repeatable Now you can break the rule of magic by saying That you wouldn't show the same trick twice to the same person But on this one the ending is always going to change And so I think if you did this for different people in the room I don't think they would ever catch on to what you're doing Because you seem to be showing every single card And so that's the brilliance behind this effect So wonderful positives with this Negatives Alright, so what are the negatives to card tune to? You know like we said already I think the price, the markup is a little high For the quality of what you're getting And I would have preferred a video instruction Is it worth your money? It's $15, okay? It's $15 And this definitely is a hit If you read through the reviews of any magic seller You'll see a lot of people really love this Have given this magic trick their highest review So I would say it is definitely worth your money And a surefire hit Who would like this? Like I said people who are a fan of card tricks Fan of showing magic to children and adults Want something that's fun for walk around You watch the video so you should know Whether it falls into that category or not for you I think there's lots of people out there Who will definitely love Card Tune 2 From Dan Harlan and Royal Magic Alright, so that was my review of Card Tune 2 From Dan Harlan and Royal Magic I purchased my effect from PenguinMagic.com And I would suggest that if you want to purchase yours You head there as well Thanks, bye
