This is a DVD with five extraordinary effects.
Some of what you will learn:
Imagine inviting someone to choose a playing card and to put it, out of sight, without looking at it. You then ask a selection of people to create a random mobile phone number. You phone the number they have created and, when the person answers the phone, you ask them to name any playing card. They name the card that was chosen by the spectator. This is a real reputation maker and one that we guarantee you will be performing. There are no mobile phone apps involved.
Romanos also teaches you how to make a Drawing Duplication device out of business cards. You ask a spectator to draw something onto a business card. You place it back amongst the stack of business cards and you immediately know what was written on the card. This is all done in front of the spectator.
You will also learn how to create a very deceptive switch pad to switch out notes, billets or other folded pieces of paper; all in full view of the spectators.
You have a business card with a prediction on the reverse. You ask the spectator to push it into the deck of cards without looking at the prediction. When you spread the deck and spectator reads your prediction, they have placed the business card in-between the two cards you predicted on the reverse of your business card.

I have a problem. I will watch a DVD with five effects on it, and four of them will bore me, but then the last one will REALLY excite me.
The majority of the effects here are just versions of effects that have come before, without any big creative leaps, or original slants from decades of performances. There are some semi-clever ideas, but not sure how much of it is extremely usable.
Then, the last effect, the phone prediction, killed the people on film, and me watching. You have a card selected. Then you type in random numbers into your phone. You show that you REALLY are calling the number they created. When the stranger answers, you ask them to name a card, and they name the selected card! This is deceptive, clever, and practical.
I know I’ll try this effect out, or at least use the principle. I’m sure a few other effects on here may be of use to some people, even though none of them excited me personally. I think for twenty five bucks, this is just worth a solid three stars.
