No Gaffed Cards.
No Gaffed Anything.
The assembly of four cards is classic plot, and the incorporation of four odd-backed cards in an assembly, a Lynn Searles idea, makes for greater impact, clarity and additional magical moments.
Red Streamlined Convertible is David Regal's elegantly structured card routine that melds existing concepts with his own in a way that almost magically economizes on sleights, moves and excess handling.
Well within the abilities of the average magician, yet a powerful vehicle for amazement.
Running Time: approximately 44 mins

Well that depends. What if you get the product in the mail and you find out that the secret/method is written in a dead language so you can't understand it? Or what if it's a DVD that won't play in any DVD player even after you've received multiple replacements? What if the method requires you to purchase a $650,000 piece of equipment?
Suddenly this product, regardless of how amazing the effect is, is starting to look more and more like rubble. Keep that in mind as you read my thoughts on Regal's effect today. So let's get to it . . .
First, let me start by saying I'm a huge fan of David Regal. He's excellent at scripting, creating solid presentations and many other things. However . . . in this case, for $25.00 you get an ace assembly . . . yep . . . that's it . . . an ace assembly. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't this be one of many effects in a book or on a DVD? I guess I'm just not hip, but I don't get this whole $25 for one trick DVD thing, especially in this case. You don't even get any special cards or anything.
What you get is a really good ace assembly with a decent presentation and a cool visual "Stage Picture" as Regal calls it. What you don't get is $25 worth of magic. You also get a few variations (read: original versions) of this effect, and the explanation is really solid, but this is not a $25.00 DVD.
What it comes down to is this: watch the trailer. If you like the effect and you think it's worth paying $25.00 for then get it. Otherwise, I'd pass. I don't need another ace assembly (even one this good) in my repertoire bad enough to spend $25.00. The production quality, method, effect, everything is solid, but it's one trick for $25.00 . . . final verdict: 2.5 stars . . . grubble.
