Fantastic 4-Star Review in MAGICSEEN of Blockbusters With Cards

MAGICSEEN 4-Star review of Blockbusters With Cards 2-DVD set: : “Paul Gordon! You've got to hand it to him – he only does card stuff, and he's not going to change now, it's far too late for that. This double disc set contains over 30 card tricks which have never appeared on film before. Paul's an expert with cards, and an expert at handling close-up audiences – and you can see this as most of the effects are filmed at a private party. The standard of effects is very high, and you can see that they go down extremely well live. One disconcerting thing about this disc set is that some of the explanations appear before the actual trick – I think they call that the one ahead principle! We'll let him off that, as this is a very good release, and definitely worth the money. The disc starts off with a couple of poker-related tricks, which I'm not a fan of (poker, that is, not the effects). Head to Head Poker is a brilliant effect where a spectator has free choices of cards pushed forward (face down) – and even selects the magicians cards, too. The spectator gets an average 'hand' but the magician gets a royal flush. A self working effect which gets a brilliant reaction. Hellman's Aces is an effective aces/sandwich effect, and Dazzling Flush sees five cards appear between five others. Lighter than a Feather sees a card appear inside a zippo lighter, while Pseudo Smyth's Myth is a cracking self-working effect with one of the best forces I've seen for ages. There are lots of excellent effects here, including one of Paul's most popular marketed effects: Red Herring. The sleights required for several of the effects here are skated over, but most are not difficult. If you are into cards, then you'll enjoy this offering – and even if you don't, then you'll still find something to spice up your act, or stimulate conversation down the pub. Most of the effects are short, sharp and have good endings. Paul knows his cards. That's entertainment!” - Graham Hey
