Download Mystique by Daniel Madison

Effects:

These are the awesome effects presented on this DVD.


Bad Influence:

Remember that old trick you used to see in all the magic books? The one where you say, "I want you to pick the 3 of Spades. Now pick the 4 of Clubs. Now I will pick the Nine of Hearts." and of course they are all correct? This is definitly the definitive version of that plot. This time, the spectators choose all the cards and it plays together very, very nicely.

4/5

Aces:

A four ace production. A really neat four ace production. Imagine this: The spectators shuffle the deck, then you take it back. In a few quick flourishes (that aren't hard) you find the first ace. Then, the second is found in your back pocket. The third is found when the deck visually vanishes, and the third ace is split in to two. This is gimmickless and really nice. He also uses a line in the trick that is pretty funny. I won't spoil it because you have to see it first.

This trick is REALLY awesome.

5/5

Angle Zero:

This is really, really cool. A card is taken, the corner torn off and vanished. It can appear anywhere you want, and it is the same corner. Not a duplicate. There are litterally thousands of applications for this. This trick is really powerful and now a staple in my stage act.

4.5

Catch:


This is AWESOME. I use this a lot. Basically a card is selected and returned to the center. Then, in a shuffle, the aces with the card in between SHOOT right out. I love this thing. You can also aim where you want the cards to land, even in a spectators hand!

4.5

Color:

A color change based on the shapeshifter. This is just a modified version of it, but he actually teaches two versions. I liked the second one better, but you might like the first. They are the same in handling, just on different positions on the hand.

3.5

Half-Vanish:

Kinda a fusion of the vanishing card plot and a sandwitch effect. I liked this though because with a simple wave of the hand, half of the card is gone, then the other half, and two cards on the table from the start contain the card. It uses no duplicates and is fairly easy.

4.5

Heritage:

This is a great effect. This has the magician holding four cards from the start. The spectator selects a card out of the deck. When inserted and the packet is flipped over, the spectator has chosen the card making a perfect poker hand. This is really easy and definitly something I will use.

4.5

Lapse:

I like this. It has the two signed cards that keep moving around and bieng where they shouldn't. I really don't think it makes since to do it this way, but it still gets awesome reactions. I use this occasionally.

4.0

Focus:

Another color change. This is really cool. Your hand, inches away from the deck, does a quick waving motion and the card changes. It is very clean looking, but needs a lot of practice to do fluidly, which is the key to this ones deception.

4.0

Role Play:

I love this one. The spectator chooses a card which is lost in the deck. The magician then hands the spectator the deck and the card is found in a very magical way. This reminds me of an in the hands version of Ted Lesely's Spectator as the Mindreader. Another thing I definitly will use.

4.5

Breach:

A very, very very awesome looking card thru glass table top. Very, very, very, very (have I used that enough times? No? Okay then.) very, very, very, very, very, very visual and insanly hard to do. He teaches how to bring it up thru the glass and down thru the glass. Bringing it down is easier, but it is very angle sensitive.

4.0

Cost:

This DVDs cost was only 25 bucks if you buy them both. If you only bought one, then it was 30 dollars. For something this awesome though, I would have paid more.

Overall:

This DVD had a lot of awesome tricks on it. The only thing I question is why, in the U.K., Chris Kenner's book is always on the table. (It is a great book, but I digress.) He is a great teacher, his effects are great, a well put out DVD, and I hope to see more from him sometime in the near future. I rate this DVD a 4.5/5. (Needless to say, if you don't have it, BUY IT NOW, PUNK!)
