Here we have a wee bundle of go-to tricks, taken from Alan's 'on person at all time' repertoire, suffice to say these only consume a wee bit of pocket space - sorry, I shall stop trying to sound Scottish! Alan is a thorough teacher and a dab-hand with the camcorder - this isn't a 1080 HD production with flashy title menus and funky music, but it's coherent and gets the job done! Music would have been nice though.. I'm joking!
Prepare to be armed with lethal weapons - which you can carry on your person legally!
'Bodies in Flight' is a nifty borrowed ring to necklace routine, crazy cool concept, easy peasy handling, thumbs up!
'Misery Business' is a signed card to impossible location effect, nice theory but I'm not a fan of carrying additional props or sacrificing cards, this is a great method though with some useful self-serving presentational ploys.
'Full Metal Jacket' is a bottle cap bend, I think I need to see this to appreciate the audience impact - better still I'll try it out, shall let you know how it goes on the 'MRB' Facebook page. Again, a streamlined method and uses a conventional item so worth learning.
'Ace wave' is an ultimate prediction effect, spec names an ace which turns out to be the only face up card in a tabled packet, the ace is shown to also have a different back and if that wasn't enough for the already weak at the knees audience, you reveal that the other three cards are jokers - call 999! I love these type of tricks, your covered for all scenarios which for a laymen makes this impossible to backtrack. To avoid having to carry extra cards I'm going to use queens instead of jokers, I'll miss out on the back design phase but the remaining two are still so strong that you'll get away labelling yourself as the devils right hand man - and that folks is cool!
Finally were introduced to 'Chipped', a visual removed and restored credit card chip trick. If we learn one thing from this effect, it's don't give Alan your credit card! Seriously though this cool 'Dynamo' magic with a canny method, thumbs up!
Overall this is a decent set of notes at a wee price. Recommended.
