(Based on 1 review)
"More iCandy" is our biggest project to date! Both DVDs feature 17 routines and have a running time of over four hours! Each DVD also features a comprehensive toolbox section where Lee and Gary sit down and explain their favourite sleights and moves that are used in their daily professional work and are part of the featured routines.
Volume 1 Contents Include:
Arrow - Gary Jones' superb new phone trick that you WILL USE! You can use any phone that has a video camera facility and it's great! A special 'app' finds a selected card in an amazing and amusing way and that's all we're going to say! Brilliant thinking.
The Biddle Trick - Join Lee Smith as he takes you around his favourite routine that has been a No.1 feature for him for many years. Simplified and direct.
Dr. Daley's Aces - Gary Jones' twist on the classic effect that turns this into a feature piece. Both amazing and funny too!
Slick - James Brown's twist on the classic 'Oil and Water' plot. Don't be put off. This is fast, punchy and snappy, with three killer phases ending with a visible change in the spectators hands and finally with all the cards morphing in their hands leaving you completely clean. Truly brilliant thinking magic that packs a wallop!
Kick Right Back Plus - An updated version of Lee Smith's routine that now gives you a stronger kicker finish.
Rover - Mike Stoner's routine that everyone is talking about! A card is freely selected and placed back fairly in the deck. A toy car now finds the selection in an amazing and amusing way! We know that this is going to be a feature in most people's performances from now on! Just watch the trailer to see what we mean! Absolutely brilliant stuff that can be done using a sealed, brand new deck of cards.
Predicto Plus - Lee Smith's take on the classic odd backed card plot. Again from Lee's working set, this you will use all the time!
Two card Transpo - Gary's take on the transposition plot. Multiple phases that get stunned reactions from your audience Join Lee and Gary as they explain in detail the moves used in the tricks featured on this DVD. These are moves and sleights that they both use in their everyday work.

- Twirl Change

After being very intrigued and happy with the first iCandy project from Lee Smith and Gary Jones and hearing that they were coming out with two more, I was eager to see what they had to offer. There are a few pieces from the first iCandy that I now use in various sets.
Then there was this, More iCandy Volume 1. I cannot really think of much to say except that I was quite disappointed in comparing the material on this video with the original iCandy. There are some decent ideas that just lack in execution.
One example is the Rover - both myself and a friend (a fellow magician) have had trouble making this work as it does in the video and that is after we both had purchased and tried three different toy cars (same brand and model). We thought there was an issue with the first, so we gave it a shot and tried two more thinking we just had one bad car. After that we tried using various models of the modus operandi of this effect, both homemade and commercial, without any success.
In my opinion, the best material on this volume was the Toolbox Section, but even then you could get most of those straight out of books on card sleights.
Quite honestly I think this was one of the worst purchases I have ever made. Now of course, this is my opinion and others may like the material on here - I just happen to think there are better sources for most of what is on here.
