Default Bullet & Factory Sealed from ***********

Hello!

Today I will be giving you all my personal review on Bullet and Factory Sealed released from ***********.

First Review:
Bullet

When I first saw Bullet it looked like it was a very effective tricks. As I watched the presentation a few more times and watched more closely I noticed something. I noticed the tricks method!

As I watched this I actually caught myself turning it off early because the method was just too easy. I have attempted this trick a few times for a live audience and failed once. The reason may have been my poor misdirection or the very analytical person I did the tricks for. Never less, they spotted the method!

The teaching methods are pretty smooth, as most *********** teaching methods are. So that is a very big plus! And if you watch closely you will see Brad Krisitian scamper around in the background of the video shooting.


Give this effect a 6 / 10

Factory Sealed
Ok, so as I watched factory sealed it left me wondering. I watched the performances probably 20 times with no avail on the methods! I was stumped, so I moved onto the methods. My thoughts so far were GREAT EFFECT!

As I watched the methods I thought the style and the effect was ingenious. It took a lot of thought to think of this method with refraction, water, etc... The teaching methods were easy and smooth. I enjoyed ***********'s teaching style once again.They were very thorough on the methods to do the vanish, and styles to perform the trick.

The DVD went in-depth on a couple different methods to perform this trick and how to not get caught doing it. The trick is somewhat angle sensitive, and you cannot have them sign the coin or use their water bottle, which kinda sucks. Can't win them all, eh! So with all that being said,


I give this effect a 8 / 10

Hope you enjoyed my review!

here is wat i think, u need to be really good at sleight of hands and mis directrion.

if you can over come these two things at the same time, then u got your self REAL MAGIC.

The trick can seem really cool if you can do those things,

So its going to take a lot of practice

I thought that Factory Sealed's method was ingenious. The method was really simple yet hard hitting.

Yeah, Bullet is quite obvious. Layman thinks that you're just using some 'extra'.

What I love about Factory Sealed is once you pull your hand down from the bottle, I thought people were definitely going to think I had another nickel sitting in my hand. But nope. Their attention is entirely on what appears to be the only nickel, which is now in the bottle. Their eyes are fixated on it and it makes cleaning up extremely easy as you hand it to them. Ah, I love it.
