im looking for some info/review type things on this trick,i am yet to find anything on this trick, its pretty cheap and im wondering if i should get it, just for a little effect (i have some good patter lined up), if im feeling too lazy to do any hardcore sleights etc, and if its any good... thanks
joe

EDIT: im now considering colour burn, it looks so visual, and if anyone has any views on that dont hesitate to add a comment about it etc...

I do own Color burn and I'll give a short review. The trick itself is great for opener. The gimmick is very very easy to make nothing complicated and can be used over and over. The deck color change requires a lot of technique so practice . I personally prefer the 2nd version of it which looks like you are printing their card on the blank card. It is just more practical. The deck color change requires some set up which might not be suitable for people who like to do walk around. Very good trick over all. Smart gimmick, highly recommended.

Alot of Dave's stuff involves at least some knowledge of technique, but he explains stuff pretty well so with a bit of practice everyone should be able to get the stuff down.

A.I.R is a cool little trick, it's an extension of the impromptu rising card, I don't know it's name - but in this particular version you have the cards in the box when the card rises, it is under your complete control and this trick is VERY easy to pull off.

You have to make a gimmick, but it's very inconspicuous and doesn't involve buying anything extra or anything like that.

All in all, it's a simple practical way to make a card rise, but it has to be done in your hands, it's not something you could do in a glass or the spectator's hands.

Hope that helps, by the way - While your on magicshop.co.uk pick up a copy of Deviance, one of my e-books or for a little extra you can get the hard copy version of my book Proximity Effects which includes Deviance as well as 5 other effects and a couple of essays too!

I'm still yet to hear a review on this forum so it'd be cool to hear from anyone.

thanks, ive gone for colour burn in the end, i really enjoy it, i havent performed it yet but i too prefer the second version so far... im very happy and DeeChristopher, i will check out your effects too

Colour Burn is a great effect - if you put the effort into practising it and actually performing it for people, you won't be disappointed.

It's worth considering the fact that doing the colour changing deck version gives you a card trick which is different to the usual pick a card fodder - that definitely stands in its favour. I have studied the colour changing deck in various forms for a good couple of years now, and use colour burn in my professional repertoire as an opener. I get into it differently to cut down on the gaffs/reset, but just to put it out there that this IS a practical effect for the real world.

If your deck is always set up for Colour Burn then you are always ready to go. Furthermore, if you DON'T want to perform the trick, just leave the gaffs behind.

Have fun with it!

DO NOT get A.I.R. I am not trying to make David lose sales, but there is a reason for my reasoning. It's a great trick, and I love and perform it. Lets just say I didn't buy it.

 

[JoeCarr]

i havent, got colour burn instead and love it

personally i find it is very similar in method to chris kenner's Schwing, but im not sure which one came firt, either one of them could be an "extension" of another.
