Sleightly Magical by Dan and Dave Buck

Sleightly Magical is Dan and Dave’s sixth manual of card magic and they would tell you it’s their best yet. The effects are extremely visual and highly effective, the only problem is you’ll have to practice, a lot. Dan and Dave are known for their hardcore, flashy style, and this manual represents none the less. You will enjoy six brand new tricks featuring six original sleights that will entertain you with months of practice. And if that’s not enough, they continue their ongoing repertoire of flourishes with a new concept that is a must learn for any card manipulator. Although the majority of the material is demanding, there is something for everyone. Read through the content descriptions below and just think, the secrets are only a mouse click away.

TiVo 2:
The most visual two-card transposition ever published, and we’re not the only ones saying that. Imagine openly placing a selected card out-jogged in the center of the deck, turning the top card face up and without ever covering either card, they instantly transpose. In addition, you’ll learn an awesome new double lift from the center. This trick rocks on all levels!

Hedbergs Peak:
If you ever need a quick trick to shut that noisy guy up, this is it. It leaves them completely stumped after thinking they had you all along. It’s another quick transposition effect (might as well get them out of the way) but is open for tons of possibilities.

Carnahan Fan:
An instant classic and a must learn for all card manipulators. This is a lighting fast, almost instant, production of a huge fan of cards and then as quick as it appeared, it is gone and the deck is ready to do your bidding. Not too difficult either.

Ginastaire Double:
A beautiful flourishy double lift that spins from the top of the deck. Acts as a great opening for an ambitious card routine or just to produce a double from the top. Even a seasoned professional won’t believe this could be a double.

D.D.C: (discrepancy dribble control)
Similar to Lee Asher’s Losing Control but without having to spread the cards. Very open with practically no movement. Great for both large and small groups alike.

REVIEW BY NING of THE LITTLE MAGIC SHOP
Sleightly Magical by Dan and Dave Buck

Here's what you get:
A 33 page color magazine from the talented Buck Twins! Ok, I'm no flourisher... floor-isher, yes but not the funky cardician kind *wince* I got this because I wanted to see what's the hype about. Kevin's been raving about Dan & Dave since forever and now I know the reason why :) There's 15 moves, effects and counts featured in this glossy booklet and the photos are awesome. Nicely shot, with clear details... Practice is needed of course, but it is quite insipiring :lol: This is flashy card magic with flourish galore! No old fashion stuff in here! ;)

Now this is what's great about it:
This is THE latest lecture notes from the infamous Dan & Dave of Flourish Heaven for like nearly two years :) If you're already cool with DeVo and stuff from the Buck twins (and of course, the works of Singapore's Kevin & Jaspas & Darren & ECai & Daryl & Huron & Lingxuan for that matter *phew*) this would definately appeal to you.

I wouldn't say it's very difficult, a newbie or someone who has two left, er, hands... like me, would be able to pick it up after some practise and a lot of patience ^_^ The illustrations are very clear and even beautiful to look at. I prefer this illustrated booklet to a DVD because you can make immediately visual references while holding your deck of cards! I can already foresee some of you serious flourishers working on their Erdnase Go Round move and visual db Spin Change already! :lol: There are some counts that are taught as well, like the Dracula Count (i kid you not) which i required in Dan & Dave's wicked Summer of 69... overall, yes, it takes some personal effort and a lot of work, but hey, that's flourishing & magic at the end of the day isn't it? ^_^

So, in a nutshell:
DUH... What are you waiting for... it's excellent stuff!!! There's only 1,000 copies out there, so GRAB yours today! :lol: Prepare to practice but once you do, all the sleights, counts, flourishes and moves you'll learn in Sleightly Magical will pay off :lol: I think I'm gonna sign onto the Dan & Dave forums now! *grin*

Cheers,
Ning ^_^
