Price: £17.99
Here’s what it says on the tin: ‘GAFFTASTIC is a collection of mind frying, easy card magic using special Gaff cards. All of the required gaff cards come free with the DVD. That’s 13 cool gaffs printed by the USPCC!’
‘Presented by Liam Montier (the magical equivalent of popping candy), GAFFTASTIC is a seriously exciting proposition, crammed to the gills with reputation making routines!’
In all, there are 8 routines performed plus 2 bonus tricks, oh and another 3 bonus tricks, and Liam’s Cherry Cola Queen booklet in PDF format. The is one disc crammed full of goodies.
Here are a few of the routines taught: ‘The Chosen’ – Cards are eliminated from a small packet until they match a selection, before eliminating the rest of the packet for good!
‘Mass Hippy-Nosis’ – Hypnotise a spectator into seeing their selection in three places at once. Or has their mind just gone blank?
There’s so much packed on to this disc that it’s hard to choose one particular effect that stands out, but my favourite from the 8 main effects is ‘Punched’- a nice looking transposition effect where you show your lucky card which has been punched in one corner and is kept on a keyring for safekeeping. This then magically changes places with a spectator’s selected card. It’s easy to do and looks great!
This new offering from the guys at BBM is excellent value for money. The gaffs alone would cost almost the price of the whole package if bought separately. Get your hands on a copy (legal copy that is!) today. Highly recommend. PS
What's Hot: 13 gaff cards supplied with the DVD for only £17.99. Good solid
effects
What's Not: A couple of sleights looked a little clumsy on camera due to Liam
being seated
