The Count by ALex Pandrea

11/16/2015

 
Title: The Count
Creator: Alex Pandrea
Publisher: The Blue Crown
MSRP: $ 20
Skill Level: Beginner
DVD Run time: 33 minutes

Type of effect: card trick

Manufacturer's Write Up:
 
This hands-off miracle has a myriad of different versions taught. The spectator selects a card in the fairest possible manner. They deal down from a shuffled, borrowed deck and stop where they wish. The selected card is lost by the spectator further into the middle of the pack. Without touching the deck, the magician has complete control of the selected card and knows it's exact location. The spectator names a number and the selected card is found at that numb
 
How accurate is the ad copy? this is what happens

What's in the box? DVD

Key points: very hands off method with some "outs" just in case
 
How are the production values: Good, shot well, good angles, nice set

Is it well taught: Alex gives you all you need to know to pull off this trick
 
My thoughts (what I personally liked/disliked): I liked the in your hands approach, I didn't like that at times it didn't feel "sure fire."
 
Does it "play big?" Any magic where the spectator does it in their hands I think has the potential to play big.
 
How practical is this in the real world? (can it really be done?) It's going to take practice and probably even some "misses" until you get it right.

Overall score: 9/10
