Self working card tricks is the best

I love there knowledge that this book brings. I love send working card tricks especially the ones that don't require any set up for the truck to work. It's just something about this kind of math that amazes even yourself when you do these tricks.

Thank you

Thank you for restoring my love for card magic. A friend of mine who taught me magic always said that magic is 10% skill and 90% presentation...These tricks are proof of that.... The only thing I would have to say against it is it isn't in numerical order..... Other than that it's great....

Worth the expense

I’m about 1/3 of the way through the tricks. They are as advertised. As the performer, I can figure out how some of them work work, so I suspect an observant or inquisitive observer could figure them out as well. That being said, as a download only purchaser, I would say the set is worth the expense.

Simply Amazing

I barely started learning card magic and the videos were a great foundation for me to begin learning card tricks. I found the tutorials to be very easy to follow. Once you learn and perform them you will look like a master of card magic. Great tutorial for a beginner like me and a great foundation for me to grow.

Highly Recommend!

One of my initial purchases on my path to doing card magic. I went with the book and video option and I'm glad I did. The book and the video both have their strengths, but combining the two and doing a "read, watch, do" has helped me immensely.

I was a bit apprehensive since I am just starting my journey (I'm a 60 year old rookie at this) and felt that it might be beyond my current abilities. It wasn't. There are clear step-by-step instruction and when combined with the video tutorials they make the learning process fun and approachable. The other piece of this is that I'm not big on using gaff's/gimmick's at this time, again, I'm a newb. I really enjoyed that most of the tricks were self-working.

Overall, if you’re new to card magic or just want some reliable routines to perform for friends and family, this set delivers. Advanced magicians may find some of the material basic or derivative, but for beginners and casual performers will likely get a lot of enjoyment and practical use from it.

Fun tricks, easy to learn yet nice to show.

Wonderful tricks

Great value for the self working tricks. Honestly, some are quite obvious and cannot be performed other than to kids, but there are a lot of hidden gems in it.
I would say, out of the 30 tricks, 10 of them is great that would even fool you as a magician, the remaining 20 are mostly misses. However, at such low price points, I would still give it a 5 star for the great value (for $25, even if just 2/3 trick works, it would have been worth it already!)

A lot of great self-working tricks!

Add in John Bannon's zero move, you will have a huge arsenal of self-working tricks that are really powerful!

Self working card tricks

Have only tried the first few in the book so far, but easy to follow along with and have all worked great so far. A great collection of tricks that anyone can master.

The Ultimate Collection of Self-Working Card Tricks

It’s exactly what it says it is. The material could be presented differently. For example I like seeing the trick being performed and then explained. He just jumps into a hybrid explanation/performance.

J
Jordan

This was so disappointing. Ellusionist products are usually very high quality, but this was definitely a miss. There are typos, the explanations are confusing and the tricks are derivative. The video tutorials are alright, but the book’s written instructions are inscrutable. For example they don’t even distinguish between what the magician and what the spectator should do, the whole thing is written as if you are doing the trick for yourself.

Informative and FUN

I started with the tutorial first - and the videos were such fun to watch, and the tricks so easy to learn, I didn't care about the book at all. All were easy, impressive, and totally enjoyable. Best bargain on Ellusionist!

Dual Media!

I really enjoy both print and video instructions, and appreciate that both are offered, as sometimes it’s helpful to see words come to life. There’s some slight differences between the words and tutorial but these tricks are relatively straightforward and easy to do.
