(Based on 2 reviews)
2010 is a special year for G. and Sans Mind productions. To celebrate for this fresh year from 2011, G. and SM have decided to give back to the community. This is a very limited charity release set. The proceed will go to a children's hospital to help the kids in need. There will only be ONE run of this set, once they are out, THEY ARE OUT! (There are only 500 units for worldwide distribution)
This is your chance to peek into G.'s private arsenal. Equip yourself with more than 30 effects with everyday objects you can borrow and perform in unprepared moments. Modern visual magic. Be ready to be inspired by G.'s outside of box thinking. From very simple method based effect to hardcore sleight of hand, a solid variety for performer in all level.
Get it now while you can...
Special thanks to G.'s mentor, Will Tsai, for his generous contribution of 5 incredible impromptu effects as a BONUS (available in this charity set only!)

I was very excited about this dvd set and knew that even if some of the 32 tricks are weak, I know that with 32 tricks I’ll find a few things worth keeping. With the dvd set being all impromptu tricks I knew I wanted it.
Unfortunately, this set was a disappointment.
Many of the tricks are just sleights. That’s fine.
Many of the tricks are weak. They can’t all be winners.
Many of the tricks are NOT impromptu and require certain gimmicks or thingys. This is totally upsetting for an impromptu dvd set. One of the tricks requires a prepared toy egg. I can not understand how this could ever be considered ‘impromptu’. You will never borrow one of these. The only way you could ever perform it is if you carry it with you, and you have to make a special piece for it at home.
Another issue I have with this dvd set is that it is a dvd ‘set’. Both dvds are very short. Combined they do not even add up to an hour. Actually less when you take out the demos for their other products.
To make things more upsetting, the demo for the dvd set shows a number of tricks that aren’t even on the dvd. If you see something you like on the demo, you better look over the list of tricks in the description of the dvds to see if that trick is even on the dvd.
You get an expensive bunch of mediocre tricks that border on ideas that they just threw on the dvds. Wouldn’t pay more than $10 for it.

This DVD set advertises over thirty impromptu effects. The advertisements are lying. Many of the effects require specific kinds of objects. For example, there is a linking bracelet effect that will only work two certain kinds of bracelets, which may be popular in Asia, but I haven’t seen anyone wearing a bracelet like this in America. Oh, and several of the effects require a PK ring. Um, there may be some debate over what ‘impromptu’ means, but in my book, it means, “Magic you can do on the spur of the moment with borrowed objects when you have no gimmicks or props on you, and you have no time to do any secret set up.” In other words, “Magic that can be done when you forget your PK Ring at home.”
Also, there is this weird effect with a toy ‘egg.’ Let me be clear, this doesn’t look like an egg in it’s shell, it a type of clear goo, with a yellow ball inside as the yolk. This prop looks so disgusting, and the effect involves squeezing and twisting the egg into all these weird contortions. I wanted to barf.
G, the supposed name of the man who is performing on this DVD, is Asian, and doesn’t speak at all during the whole DVD. It’s all to music with text on the screen. There are several typos on the disk, as well as on the DVD case. This could all be simply a translation problem, but the fact that they didn’t take the time to get a translator to double check everything shows their lack of respect to the purchaser.
I’d say about five of the routines, moves and ideas are interesting, and might appeal to many move monkeys, but the packaging, typos, and lies aren’t worth the fifty bucks, no matter how good a small portion of the material is.
