We've all familiar with the bullet points in magic advertising:
“No Difficult Sleight of Hand!”
“Ends Clean!”
“No Palming!”
“Quick Reset!”
This usually means one of two things: either the effect sucks or it's a blatant lie.
Such is not the case with Trick Cyclist. The effect is strong. The premise and routine are interesting. The props are top-quality. Oh, and they hit all of the claims above, as well (as advertised on the packaging).
Even the “card to pocket” kicker ending doesn't require palming. The audience actually sees you put the card in your pocket in plain view. Of course, they don't realize it's the chosen card...
As I watched the performance, I found myself daydreaming about how I might add this to my repertoire. It was surprisingly easy to come up with something that fit with my personality. Of course, the routine on the DVD is perfectly fine. Just know that you've got a lot of options with the feke supplied with the DVD. |
