REVIEW BY NING of THE LITTLE MAGIC SHOP
Decks, Lies and Videotape by Brent Braun


Here's what you get in this DVD:
A one hour feature of Brent Braun's visual video diary packed with mostly close up and card effects that are great for street magic. Shot in the gritty and raw MTV style, this DVD also comes with a pamphlet which gives credit where its due for certain routines. In all, 9 effects are taught in this DVD - inclusive of his infamously visual Torched & Restored effect, which made him well known in magic circles today :)

Now this is what's great about it:

This DVD packs the original effects that Brent Braun's proud of and worked with since 2000. It really is a video diary because of the personal feel to it, there's nothing fancy or staged... you get a raw feel throughout the DVD. I purchased his T&R manuscript a long time ago but nothing beats watching him perform and then teach it. Audio levels may jump but that just adds to the gritty street feel ;)

One thing I really liked in the package is the funky looking 3-fold pamphlet he put together. A read-through proves that it was done with much effort and research. Braun provides good sources for further learning and gives due credit accordingly which would be very much appreciated by any keen student in magic.

So, in a nutshell:
If you're a young cardician, you may want to consider this ^_^ There's a very visual ball through glass effect in this DVD, but the rest of the effects featured are all Braun's original card routines, which are generally easy to follow and are mostly practical to execute when you're in the streets working your magic. Recommended for enthusiasts in card magic who want more than the typical Darryl or Michael Ammar card videos! :lol:

Cheers,
Ning
