- If Ben puts his name to it, you can bet he puts his heart and effort into it, and all things from effects to production and instruction will be top quality.
- I have been a fan of his since his Past Midnight project YEARS ago...maybe decades lol, and he has continuously gotten better. Even THEN he was a top level technician.
- Ben will be known mostly for how he streamlines effects, as he is a master of subtracting the unnecessary.
- The above streamlining of effects and patter, result in a completely different FEEL of trick and effect on the spectators (he makes things less of "look what i can do" feel, to a spec thinking "what did i just see...what happened?", kind of feel)
- Many of the effects are new FEELS...and you wont necessarily see any new sleights or ground-breaking new effects, but that is because there is no need for heavy sleights and the FEEL of the effects is completely new due to the psychology, timing etc.
- The above is a POSITIVE despite possibly sounding like a negative. Positive because, you likely already know how to do every sleight necessary for some tricks that will DEFINITELY be better than what you already do.
- Red Handed is a variation of an effect he's shown before and whereas this effect is good as well, I felt this was the weakest. ONLY because it seemed as though he ADDED an unnecessary step (one that was not used previously and adds nothing to the effect to be added here.). Nevertheless, it is still a great effect if you dont already have your own version of this.
- The One, Octopus 2, Manifest, Fingerprints, 3-Way Squeeze will all likely amaze you and your audiences. SuperEgo is great for adding a lil flash into your performance but WILL require dexterity which most don't have (but can easily be adapted to fit you). In Between is a nice timing effect which can be added to any other sandwich routine you do. The Real ACAAN, although great, is...I thought one of the FIRST ACAANs many of us learned. But he DOES have a great addition of simply letting the spec NAME any card.
- One may think me biased because I am a fan of Ben's and do collect all of his projects/books etc. HOWEVER, that also may make me more honest in my review as I can point to things he's improved or made worse from other things.

Despite the small hiccup from Red Handed, this project as a whole is STILL a 10/10. Learning each of these effects alone this year and nothing else, would give you a great set for walk-around. Oh and just because we say walk-around doesn't mean these can't easily be converted to the TABLE. 10/10, awesome job Ben.

Now we need a collab. Ben and Justin Miller! That would be like Michael Ammar and Paul Harris collabing...LEGENDARY!! MAKE IT HAPPEN E!

The second part of Ben Earls amazing tricks, just couldn’t get enough from him, all his tricks are workers and real time tested

The purchase of these lessons is an absolute necessity for any serious student of card magic and de facto student of Benjamin Earl. He is the 21st century Jean Hugard, and his course in pasteboard miracles is the modern Royal Road to Card Magic. Get the first UCM, followed by this one, and also consider subscribing to The Family ( those who know, know!). With dedication, you will become a modern wizard. Good magic, fellow magicians!

Just when you think the project can’t get better they drop Vol2!! Amazing Theory section and if you like when moves compliment themselves perfectly this is what your looking for.

First, I thought this product was a little expensive compared to the price. But I was totally wrong. These 10 magics not only strengthen your Card Magic but also leave the spectator's mind COMPLETELY blown. They are visual miracle effects, and they're all easy to do.

Purchase and learn these effects. It'll take you from ordinary magician to extraordinary magician. Thank you, Ben Earl. I love it!

UCM 1 was unreal. BUT, UCM 2 takes us to another level. Thank you Benjamin Earle.

Unreal Card Magic 2

Learned a lot

The tutorials are very well made and explain the routine perfectly.

Ben is a great teacher of magic and I highly recommend this project.
