The Watch Steal

James is a joy in anything I've watched but especially here. I think the truth is, watch stealing is quite difficult but at least James Brown is as good of a teacher as you could have.
I like that he keeps his methods classy and not gimmicky too.
I'm addition, James goes into thorough detail on everything from what to say and when/how to deal with different watch bands.

If I had one critique it would be that I wanted him to address what to do if a man has one of those metal bands that don't fully open. Especially if that comes as a surprise mid trick.

Overall; A delight. I'm glad I bought it.

Its made really good. He tells you everything perfectly

If you are interested in learning how to perform a watch steal, i tip my hat to you. If you are willing to go through the pain of practicing, the artistry of learning choreography nested with principles of misdirection, and most importantly, all the awkwardness that comes with getting caught as you're learning, I take my hat off to you.

This is exactly what we need to push our art forward. A willingness to stretch and not just play it safe. This is very doable. The instructions are very clear, and it is a wonderful introduction to theatrical thievery. Highly recommend. Also Highly encourage you to put in the work. It’s not easy, but so worth it.

I have learned a lot from this trick. Not really a trick I guess but it adds so much personality to the rest of my tricks! Imaging being able to show an amazing magic trick and then right before you leave ask them for the time and show them THEIR watch on YOUR wrist!

Magnificent! Definitely went from ZERO confidence and knowing nothing to ready to attempt a steal by the end of the video. Everything thing is broken down, excellent camera views, and nuances of the steal. More than happy, thank you!!

Everything is explained very well and I really enjoyed the video production🤩

I have known about James Brown's Box Clever routine for years and have even played around with bits of it I saw other magicians perform. However, I've never taken the time to learn the actual routine.. until now.

Firstly, James is a fantastic communicator and teacher. Succinct and clear in his explanation. He covers every aspect of this routine but does it without condescension or unnecessary repetition.
The download is exactly as you see in the trailer. James teaches both his original card under box routine (Box Clever) as well as his current version. Both routines are excellent. The choreography and justification for each move combined with the built in misdirection makes this routine so much fun to perform but also a great lesson in attention management. You know that this routine has been worked in thousands of times and if added to your repertoire, you will have a killer piece of magic to perform for your audience.

The routine is hard to perform but it will take some practise to feel confident to perform as a moderate level of card magic knowledge is needed. Don't let this deter you if you are a beginner. This is well worth every penny. Well done James and Ellusionist. A fantastic project 👏

Thanks for this cool trick and I even received a discount on another trick!

In depth but also right to the point. If you study his details it’s perfect!!
