Another day, another one trick DVD, except this one is actually good!
Effect: One at a time the four kings turn face up, and without any funny looking moves they jump invisibly to your pocket. The cards in your hand are now the four aces and all may be examinded! This great looking effect uses a very special gimmick that is supplied with the DVD (and I actually mean made as well, you don't get a bunch of cards you have to stick together). Not only that but you are fully taught how to make the gimmick if you want to make it with different cards, or you drop the one supplied down the loo by accident (hey, if happens if you practise on the bog). In total you are taought nine routines. My personal favourite is the main routine that I described at the beginning. Some of the other routines will require you to make up new gaffs, which really isn't a problem as they are not hard to make. I will list a couple of other stand-out routines (im to lazy to list them all): -TWISTED NERVES - After twisting the kings faces up, their faces jump to your pocket leaving you holding just the backs! -TONGUE TWISTER - Four signed selections are set aside. After twisting the aces they change into the four signed selection. The cards set aside earlier are now the four aces! -WILD TWISTER - A nice Wild Card routine. After twisting the four kings, you introduce a joker and use it as a wild card to change the kigs into four more jokers. Basically all the routines are good, you will certainly find one or two you will perform. I have a gig tonight and will be giving it a go. The gimmick you are supplied with is nicely made. Mine allows me to 'twist' the Queens. Whilst I can't say for certain I would expect that the cards you get will be random. Bonus routines!!! I was happy to see an impromtu version of Stephens missing link. This is a really nice linking card routine that was released many years ago as a gaffed item (which I had a lot of fun with). This version requires no gaffs and rocks. I will be playing more with this. There is also a version of ACAAN, personally not for me so I won't say much more on that. The production values are top quality as with all Big Blind Media releases the the packaging looks really cool to. Stephen Tucker is a very clever man. If you don't know any of his stuff I suggest you go out and buy this now, if you do know his stuff then you probably already have done! Darius |

Just picked this up. I love the one where the four aces changes to four signed selections.

This is an AWESOME concept. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a BBM guy. I have been a fan of this trick ever since I saw an online demo two years ago. The possibilities are endless.

I didn't hear much buzz on this DVD. Anyone perform with the gimmick.

I think this is a great gimmick (I got one of the original ones from Steve Tucker directly) but the DVD has a great bundle of routines! Very easy, quick reset, this is definitely a worker. Great version of the Linking Cards as well as a bonus - a twist on Stephen Tucker's "The Missing Link" but without the gaff.

Hi Chris,
It is definitely suitable for walk-around - practically all the variations can be done standing, and you can easily perform the routine at chest height (Stephen shows you how on the DVD). Given that it's also super easy, ends clean and resets in a couple of seconds, it's A material. The only other packet trick in my regular set is OMEGA - another storming Stephen Tucker routine. He's a clever guy! |
