Build Your Own Card Fountain For Under $20
David Allen; Scott Francis
(Based on 1 review)
- You don't like excitement.
- You think it will be too much fun.
- You don't like to push buttons.
- Your audience will like it too much.
- You would rather pay $300 instead of $20.
We already know you have always secretly wanted a card fountain. How do we know this? We've wanted one too. So here is a golden opportunity to have one at a very low price.
Through months of research and development we have created one of the coolest magic classics, at a reasonable price, available to date.
Even if you don't put it in a show you are gonna love playing with it. Are we mind readers? No. we just know that once you start playing with it you won't want to put it down.
Have lots of fun!
Running Time Approximately 50min

If you have more time on your hands than money in your wallet, you consider yourself handy with tools, and you have some burning desire for a card fountain, this is exactly the video for you.
There is a lot of helpful information on this disc, but it's not well organized for learning. For example, you don't see a completed, working unit until the final few minutes. This turns the first-time viewing of the disc into a guessing game as you have no idea how to place the details into the correct context. So, my advice is to skip to the end, first.
You'll want to keep your remote control handy for another reason. There's a lot of byplay that might be entertaining the first time, but you'll need to watch portions of this video several times in order to build the card fountain and I'm sure the shenanigans will get old. Also lacking is a comprehensive parts list, but one nice touch is that the producers take the video camera right into the hardware store and show you what to buy, even going so far as to zoom in on the packaging.
Sure, this video could be better. But it's worth what it saves you in your own trial-and-error. The economics of being able to complete this project for only $20 are highly suspect (the DVD itself costs more than that), and don't forget the time you invest, but if you're handy with tools and this sounds like fun, you'll probably be satisfied with your purchase. The result won't be the smallest, slickest card fountain, but you'll know exactly how to fix it when it breaks, because you put it together.
