Then the performer pours some pepper, or dirt, or sugar or ashes… Continue Reading Bare Mini by the Other Brothers and Vanishing Inc.

With the Crimson Deck you can do several different effects which are pretty impressive and easy to do.

Man, when I found out that Big Blind Media was releasing Volume 4, I could hardly wait!

Narrated perfectly, it is the best production quality around. Noteworthy is that SansMinds tells you up front that the magic taught in the DVD is challenging to learn and not for… Continue Reading Paper Storm by Rich Li and SansMinds
