PROS

This is an excellent version of Roy Walton’s Card Warp. The DVD shows you how to make a gimmick that can be handed out as a very nice souvenir.

The instruction is very good. It is brief and to the point.

There is a bonus section that teaches how to do the same routine with a couple business cards. The business card effect is superb!

This is also a great use for old practice decks. Take a couple old decks and create some card warp gimmicks that you can hand out as souvenirs.

CONS

The only caution I would have is I wouldn't think of this as a replacement for Roy Walton's classic great Card Warp, but rather just another version of it. If you are going to perform this, I would strongly suggest you also learn and perform the classic card warp.

Also, in the DVD it is suggested that you simply take out the two cards and perform. While this is the common way of performing Card Warp, I think it would be better to have the cards in the pocket, go into the pocket with your deck of cards to get something and come out with the gimmick cards on the bottom of the deck and present it as if the cards were removed from the regular deck. I think that would be stronger.

VERDICT

Great effect and very nicely presented. I see this as a nice variation or addition to Roy Walton’s card warp, not a replacement.
