Unread post by Magic_Orthodoxy »

Title: Total Recall
Creator: Manuel Llaser
Publisher: Vernet
MSRP: $ 30
Skill Level: Advanced
DVD Run time: 80 minutes

Type of effect: deck memorization routine

Manufacturer's Write Up:
The spectator gives you a well shuffle deck of cards, you have never seen before, and after 30 seconds of memory effort and 200 neurons less you are able to name any card at any number given. The position in that deck of any card named. Also the position of any four of a kind given by the spectator Any sequence of consecutive cards memorize by a member of the audience, and at the end you can recite all the deck in order, or what its even better, gives the deck to the spectator as a present and he can call you any time he wants and you can recite the order for him.

How accurate is the ad copy?
This is an accurate depiction of what happens.

What's in the box?
A DVD

Key points:
No Mnemonics, Any shuffled deck, Any time, anywhere, Convince your audience of your super memory power. Bonus track: "How to recite the whole deck" Be able to remember the deck forever. The spectator can call you any time and you can recite the entire order of the deck. 100% audience tested

My thoughts:
This will take practice, a well rehearsed routine with patter and a lot of memorization. This trick is a masterpiece in Manuel's hands, because it is his baby. For you to be able to perform it like him is going to take the same effort he has given it.

Is it well made:
It's a Spanish speaking DVD, but since I don't speak Spanish, I have to listen to the dubbing which was extremely poor.

Is it well taught:
Based on the dubbing alone, the poor transcript read makes for a difficult learning experience, plus sitting though 80 minutes of it makes it extremely laborious.

How are the production values:
Moderate

Overall score:
7/10
