CREATIVE WEEKLY Vol. 1 LIMITED

Julio Montoro

(Based on 1 review)
Introducing you, Montoro's exclusive project: Creative Weekly Volume 1.

In 2020, Julio Montoro decided to release a new monthly subscription in Spain to share his creations with all his Spanish followers. It was just a 1 year project, but it was a total success, with almost 900 Spanish magicians joining the subscription, learning 52 effects that Montoro specifically created for them.

Now, in 2022, Julio Montoro has decided to share this project with all his international friends in a really exclusive way.

Only 400 units will be printed every single month during 1 year. This means that only 400 magicians around the globe will only be able to know how Montoro's mind really works.

This is what you are going to get in Volume 1:
  • Post-it restoration: an impromptu torn and restored with a signed post-it note.
  • Instant polo: an examinable and visual way to restore your favorite candy pack.
  • Sticky bill: the most organic way to do the ripped signed bill. Everything can be given away for examination at the end.
  • WOW Post-it: the only way available in the market to make a 3D object appear from a drawing. Everything is examinable at the end.
All these effects are now available at only $19,95, that is less than $5 a week.

Every single month, you're going to learn how to construct 4 awesome tricks, which comes in a tutorial inside a beautiful packaging, which is numbered and signed by Julio Montoro himself.

You will also include materials that you are going to need to construct all four week's effects.

Of course, you will not only learn gimmicked effects, but also at least one impromptu trick every month.

Be one of the 400 hundred magicians that will ever be able to learn all these effects and collect all 12 months.

Get creative weekly in your magic shop before it sells out!

Overview

Creative Weekly by Julio Montoro is not what I expected, it is much better. Montoro is not the first on the block to provide a DIY project with an instructional but this is a very nicely assembled package. If you are a gimmick lover and like that quick magic effect and enjoy making the gimmicks yourself, then you will really like this package.

Effect

There a four effects in each release. In this release which is the first in the series he teaches you how to build and perform every effect. In series one, there is a Post-It Note Restoration, a trick with a Polo Pack (Lifesavers for us in the US), a Signed and Torn Bill Effect and finally 3D Drawing Effect. Not to duplicate what is already stated in the ad copy, each effect is clearly explained.

Method

The methods are obviously by the use of gimmicked items. The skill in in the construction of said gimmicks and the handling. Basic skills such as familiarity with the paddle move and rotating and placing shards of paper properly are all that is needed. Audience management is a must for these and most gimmicked props. Angle awareness is a must.

Product Quality

I am duly impressed with the entire package. You will get an attractive and sturdy cardboard envelope. Inside the envelope will be the required gimmicks to build your props. Additional items will be provided by you. For example, he does not provide the Post-It note pad or the candy packs. These will have to be obtained locally. There will also be a card with a link to the instructions. The photography, sound, lighting and pace of the instruction are all very good. It is basically a view of him at a low table with his cutting mat and supplies. He goes through each and every construction at an incredibly easy pace without rushing through. If a camera angle change is needed it is provided. The instructions run a little over one hour and they are in English and easily understood.

Ad Copy Integrity

It is everything that is stated in the ad copy. As stated before, I am very impressed with the attention to detail. The packaging is beautiful and of the best quality. In this particular package you will get 2 small magnets, a piece of black construction paper, 2 coffee stirrers and a piece of black felt plus the Tutorial Card with the link on it.

Final Thoughts

Why do I think this is a great value? For $19.95 he gives you everything you need plus instructions to make four magic effects. Although the gimmicks provided don’t equate to almost $20, you are saved the inconvenience of finding everything you need, buying in bulk, spending time online or in store finding the proper sizes and numerous other time wasting activities. I am looking forward to seeing the next volumes of this release. Well done Julio Montoro!
