The False Deals Project Review
Two DVDs, a buttload of moves, techniques, effects, etc., $35 bucks and one The False Deals Project Review. Is it gem or is it rubble? Stay tuned to find out.
The False Deals Project Review: Effect
What you'll learn is a bunch of routines from some of the greatest minds of magic history. Many of the routines taught are modified to use false dealing techniques to add a new level of deceptiveness. Take a peek at the ad copy for some of the "stuff" you'll find on the DVD set.
The False Deals Project Review: Method
This is certainly an advanced DVD set. It covers second deals, bottom deals, center deals, etc. These, along with other standard, yet advanced, sleights are the methods employed to effect the effects. This stuff is pretty hard core and not for the faint of heart. It will take some serious dedication.
There is an occasional "thing" that might more easily make its way into the repertoire of an intermediate or maybe even beginner magician, but for the most part, this is for the advanced student of the art. Lastly, one thing to note about method is that even though these methods are extremely hard core and advanced, they add a whole new depth the level of deception on each and every effect. When these techniques are employed properly, you're audience will have no where to go. The magic is impossible seeming.
The False Deals Project Review: Ad Copy Integrity
The ad copy is very accurate, as is the norm with Big Blind Media. Watch the video trailer, and you'll get a very good sense of exactly what you're being taught on this DVD set.
The False Deals Project Review: Product Quality
As everyone (especially my lawyer) knows, I've stalked . . . er . . . um . . . I mean . . . admired . . . Owen Packard from a far (very, very, very far — my lawyer made me add the extra "very's."). That . . . ahem . . . admiration comes from seeing products being released that go the extra, extra, extra mile in an effort to produce a top notch product. This one is exactly that. It's very well produced, detailed, in depth and extremely thorough.
The exact finger positions, pressure points, grips, etc. required to perform these moves are all taught in great detail. Liam Montier is there, of course, to keep Mr. McBride on track in the teaching segments. As always, he does an excellent job.
The False Deals Project Review: Final Thoughts
This one's easy folks. If you're looking to learn super hard core advanced sleight of hand, this is an excellent resource.
Final Verdict:
5 Stars with a Stone Status of GEM!
Available at your Favorite Magic Dealer. Dealer's see Murphy's Magic for details.

The False Deals Project is a Big Blind Media production that teaches the Bottom Deal, the Second Deal, the Double Deal and the Center Deal. With each of these deals comes routines to fool your spectators. This two DVD set is somewhat of a treatise on false deals. Some of the deals are harder than other and this DVD project can keep even the dedicated student busy for a very long time. George McBride, an extremely talented card handler, teaches the moves and Liam Montier watches and comments.
Disc 1 is entirely dedicated to the bottom deal. The instruction is broken down into various parts and various versions are taught. The camera work is good and the instruction, although good, can be a bit dry at time. After the bottom deal is taught, 11 routines (including the 4 bonus routines) are taught. They are great magical routines. The bottom deal routines are a good mix of tricks using the move. This DVD is a good resource for anyone who wants to concentrate on this specific move and then be able to perform an entire evening of bottom deal tricks.
Disc 2 teaches several false deals; the second deal, the double deal and the center deal. Each of the false deals on this DVD are accompanied with a few routines. The second deal section is taught with 6 variations of the move and 5 routines, while the double deal is taught with 4 routines and the center deal is taught with 3 routines. There is plenty to challenge those who are up to the test.
This project has a tremendous amount of material with contributions from Jack Merlin, Gene Maze, Charlie Miller, Peter Kane, Mike Skinner, Jack Carpenter, Roy Walton, Dai Vernon, Marlo, Elmsley and others. It is hard to digest all the material on this project and will require multiple sessions to watch it for maximum absorption and comprehension.
The DVD’s are structured so you can watch the routine and the explanation immediately follows. The ad-copy and promo video both accurately describe what you get.
This is a great resource for those interested in false deals.
