Airise is a DVD offered by a company called Who’s Magic. The DVD looked promising. The Cover had a professional look and the back of the DVD cover had a gritty street magic look. I popped the DVD in my computer and it did not play correctly. I then tried another video player. Again, failure. Undaunted, I placed the disc in another computer with a third player and once again if failed to run correctly. The good news is that is did play in a television DVD player.
After all this frustration, I was still keeping an open mind while I viewed the product. The first thing I noticed was that this appeared to be shot in someone’s home with the family video camera. The picture was watchable but irritating. The close ups on “the work” were bad and at times useless. Still, by the end of the DVD one would be able to construct and perform this effect. This was not a professionally shot DVD.
The effect is any called for card to rise out of the box. There must be a thousand rising card effects. If you are bold enough to put out a DVD with the only effect being a rising card effect, it better be killer. This one is not. First, the card only rises perhaps an inch or less. Not impressive at all compared to other methods. Second, there is considerable set up and this deck is a one trick pony. It will be the only thing you can do with the deck. As a side note, you will have to construct the deck yourself.
Third and this is the most important. The author claims that it is any card called for. Well, kinda. Usually, in the rising card effect someone selects a card, it is put back into the deck, the deck is placed in the box, a glass, or a pedestal and WaLa, the card rises. In this version, the card is called for and then the magician must perform a very suspect move with the deck to align the gimmick. Although, the method is clever, it does not deliver.
The final note on this DVD is the live performance. The author is shown performing this trick live. If you have been performing for some time there are certain subtleties that you learn from experience and time. To perform the effect at least one finger that is holding the deck will need to “move”. It is would be easy so hide this movement by keeping the dirty finger behind the deck and out of sight. Instead, as you watch the inventor of this effect perform it, you can clearly see all his fingers moving down as the card moves up. This is something that should have been corrected by his team before the DVD was finished.
