This is Cameron's debut release with masters of cinematic gloss & swish production Paper Crane Magic! So together you can only imagine the type of explosion this dynamite must create - except you don't, because I've seen it on behalf of your eyes & here is the review!
'Corner' is a wonderfully shocking effect that's so strong it has to be magic.. well at least in the spectators mind. In short, a card is selected & placed in the card box, the magi pretends to feel vibrations & read your mind naming aloud the card, seems impressive until you show that you've actually cut out a corner of the tuck case allowing you to sneak a peek at the card, jokes aside you then lose the card back into the pack & visually cause it to appear in the empty case - facilitated by the cut out corner so your audience can see the exact moment it arrives.
This is such a brilliant commercial effect - visual, entertaining, strong sense of magic & spec can keep their signed card! The method is no turn off either, a little bit of 'paper crane' prep involved with the box but all very straight forward & expertly taught.
Next up 'Exposure', I'm sure you've seen the trailer but just to recap (in brief) an indifferent card is folded & stapled - note, you can fairly see the face of the indifferent card! This folded/stapled card is trapped in the spec's hands & with a bit of byplay you reveal that inside their own hands the card (still folded/stapled) has changed into their signed card!
This is obviously a strong commercial effect & the presentational ploy of using a stapler really enhances the strength of the impact - as shown in live performances. The method is simply fantastic! So clever! I don't even need to say anymore, you won't be disappointed.
As well as the tricks, Cameron's animated, comedic style makes the whole download fun to watch as well as enjoyable to learn from.
I'm not usually a fan of effects which require you to sacrifice a card but every so often something comes along which is too good to miss, these are two of them! Highly recommended.
