Alright guys,
Heres the basic review that i am going to give about Farid's new book, the All cards Routine.
Well first of all, the effects are not for beginners, maybe most of u have know, it requires u to know some basic sleights of hand, like some counts and some grips.
Secondly, Farid have made a sense to include his own patter inside as a guideline for those that read on his book but he encourage the reader to have his own patter. Actually i think his patter for his clone effect is good enough.
Thirdly, the book is well organized for each effects and explained in detail, well to me, it is in detail, for those that dun know some of the moves, eventually u will feel that u are reading the wordless book.
Fourth, it is about the pictures, it is not colored, but it did serve its purpose to show each steps clearly, but eventually i still not able to get hold of some of the moves inside, hmm, like only 1 step for now. Well i sure Farid is able to help me on that,(i think most likely is the spelling mistake u have in the book)
Last but not least, i feel that Farid should write more about how his ideas for them came about. Hmm, to me, this book is not for beginners and seriously not for those passer bys. So for those really into magic, they will be interested to find out how the idea comes about that eventually become the effect itself.
Ya in the end, for a video lover like me, i will rate this book for 9/10
The lack of 1 point is some of the effects need set up but its still worthwhile.
P.S Ever thought of doing a floating card on ur palm without strings. Fully examinable, signed card that float right off ur palm? And the height of the card can goes up to 2 inches?

Thanks for the review dude. I can't write more about that as it's a lot of theory - in my next offering perhaps?
You have a book out man? Wow, that's awesome! How much do you sell them for? Do you have a website for it or something?
