Out of Sleight is an excellent Big Blind Media production that teaches 10 tricks, mostly with playing cards. there are some routines with full decks, some with packets and some with business cards. As the title indicates, these are tricks and routines that don’t require sleight of hand and are very easy to perform. The project is available on DVD or in a download.
The project is typical top-notch BBM quality and is taught by Cameron Francis, with some help from Liam Montier. Francis performs each effect to a spectator on one track and explains the trick with Montier on another track. Many of the tricks were inspired by other magicians, who are properly credited in the DVD. The DVD is easy to navigate.
The tricks are presented with an interesting and engaging patter and the explanations are taught clearly. It is very easy to follow. Francis is a great instructor using comedy and personality to teach.
The ad copy claims that you will have “no worries about complicated sleight of hand, you can just concentrate on presenting your magic like a rockstar.” This is accurate. Although the tricks are easy to perform, they are very strong.
With 10 tricks, this project is well worth its price.
Highly recommended.
