“The reveal at the end will blow the minds of your audience and alleviate any doubts of your magical card skills.”

After reading the above sentence, what magician in their right mind would turn their back on “Just the Backs Ma’am” ?

I couldn't.

With the purchase of “Just the Backs Ma’am” you receive an instruction booklet, a DVD and the five special cards you will need to accomplish the effect. The 8-page booklet is nicely produced. The instructions are easy to understand and the photos are clear and concise. The DVD is well produced and is very helpful in further explaining Reed’s handling of t he effect. The cards are of Bicycle design and stock. The handling is straightforward. The moves are not difficult. You end clean, everything is examinable and “Just the Backs Ma’am” resets instantly. The only thing missing is an effect that lives up to the hype on the package.

From the package: Five cards are pulled out of a wallet, all seem to have the same face. They are all turned face down in your hand. One at a time a card is revealed face up and set off to the side until you are left with one face up card in your hand. The reveal at the end will blow the minds of your audience and alleviate any doubts of your magical card skills.

I must admit that I was not excited by the climax. It left me scratching my head and wondering “Why?”

On the DVD Reed claims that “Just the Backs Ma’am” has a great impact on lay audiences and that we as magicians should not underestimate its potential. I am curious as to why Reed did not prove this on the DVD. There are other DVDs on the market that have taken the “street magic” approach and shot the performer in action. This would have been a nice touch.

Pros: “Just the Backs Ma’am” is well produced. There are no difficult sleights. You end clean. The cards are examinable and it resets instantly.

Cons: Based on the hype I was expecting a more spectacular finish.
