Hello all. To begin, i'll have a quick review of these 2 effects, mindbender and infusion that i got via E.

Well i personally like visual effects very much, but not those overwhelming kind, rather something simple and ordinary which can easily done. Of course, the impact is taken into consideration as well. The 2 effects, M + I are extremely visual stuff which hence caught my attention.

Mindbender
This simple card magic, and i would use the term magic because it is not a trick at all. Its an pure piece of visual art. Imagine, ending any trick which involves a spectator selected card, and bending the card in full 360 view of everyone without even touching the card itself. Its astonishing. "Naked and surrounded" - cool tagline which i set my eyes on. Presentation should not be a problem to most magicians because you can just basically tell them to "Watch." or "Do not take your eyes off YOUR card" or "I don't know if you can see this, but ..." Anyway this uses a concept, which most people take lightly of. Reactions are extremely poor after you perform this trick as they look lifeless. BUT the processes going through their mind is like a train going on hyperspeed, all cranked up. Eventually you'll see them explode.

Point to note : Great Magician + Audience Fooler

Infusion
Well what can i say, ive seen many of this kind in the market. I'm not sure about the effectiveness of this trick, but its a good method nonetheless. Impromptu, visual, strong are the strong points. To get the full impact of this trick you have to be pretty smooth, which should be easy to get down if you practise. Personally i do not do this effect very often, unless im at a restaurant or any eating outlets.(well you dont walk on the streets with a glass in your hand, do you?) Other than that, a nifty piece of trick which should be in your impromptu repertoire.

Hope this review will help. Thanks.
