Hey I wanted to drop by and tell you about a new product for instant download we have from Dan Harlan. This new instant download and DVD has some really great effects using the red&blue back gimmicked card. You will see impossible effects that are done under test conditions. There are awesome transpositions, some really strong sandwich effects, color changes and some really great entertaining mentalism. This is a product takes an underused gimmick and breathes new life to it and will make you want to use it. In my opinion what is really great about this product is that all the effects are given the Harlan treatment so you know you are going to get entertaining routine with methods that contain as little sleight of hand as possible, the way magic should be.

I saw some footage from this a little while ago and I it was great. But then again, it's Harlan so what do you expect?

Can beat a bit of Harlan, this looks terrific!

I love Dan doin the slow groove R&B singing on the demo..... more awesomeness from a master!

Great DVD Harlan makes this underused prop sexy again.

Underused? Speak for yourself! I love me some DBs!

Can you make them as sexy as Harlan though Cameron?

Are you kidding me? I got some fine women during my college years usin' DBs. it's all in the timing. After a heavy make out session, I would pull back and say, "You are one fine red hot momma... And speaking of red hot momma, here, pick a card, baby."

they had no choice but to surrender to the seductive power of the DB.

But back to the topic at hand, I'm looking forward to seeing all of the routines on this dvd.

ROFL!

Are they mostly sandwich effects? There isn't much of a description of the 9 routines.

Cameron you never lost your touch I'm still under your powers.....DB & Harlan this is a no brainer.

To answer the poster above, their are a variety of different effects.

If you look at the r&b cover art on the front page of the paper crane site you will see Dan on the cover. That cover art is inspired by a famous African American rock soul singer, the first 3 people to PM with the singer that the cover art is based on will receive a free download of R&B

PM sent about the cover

Demo effect looks nice so I'm looking forward the other effects.
Got a bunch of db's which I do not use at the moment..

PM Sent.

2 people out of 3 got the right answer.

Lol...that background vocals at the end are awesome

Contest is over and sales are going strong so let the reviews begin.

I was one of the lucky winners and I've got about half way through the download. So far I like the routines and as always Dan has a great personality and teaches well. Beginners should have no problem and more advanced card workers should have their creativity sparked, but may not learn anything completely new. The only thing I don't really like is the format. The beginning shows the effects performed for spectators, but they are not shown in any order and some are repeated a few times. It's not a huge issue, but the performances are all in the beginning so you have to deal with the duplicate performances to get to the explanations. Once again, it's not a huge problem as it is helpful, but I think the format could have been better. I'll post more thoughts about each effect after I finish the download.

As soon as I heard about this I went and purchased the download. I am a big fan of Dan Harlan, and I am a big fan of PapercraneMagic. I've never been a big fan of DB's but only because I never knew what I could really do with them.

It's entertaining to watch Dan perform the routines, and just as entertaining to watch and listen to him as he explains everything you need to know to perform any one of the routines he demostrates. This could even get your creative juices flowing!

Thanks to Dan Harlan and Papercrane Magic I now know what I can do with DB's now, and be able to create cool effects utilizing them.
