This product has already been hype up by so many reviews on the wire by saying its like the best sleight ever. I do have to agree it's a pretty versatile move with many applications but like Zach, it's not perfect yet. He does give you three killer effects that incorporate two vanishes, one control and one pretty cool steal. So without further a do lets look at Fontaine.
Effect:
Fontaine
8/10
There are three effects that are taught in this download. There is the regular Fontaine routine where a joker is in between two jacks and turns face down and face up and then vanishes. And then as a kicker the spectators card appears in between the two jacks. Personally I really like this routine the handling is great and not too hard. Although I don't understand the point of joker turning face down and then face up, it truly does look really magical. Overall I really like this effect and the moves can be used for other routines.
Grasshopper Fontaine
9/10
This is the trick for me on the download! It reminds me of calen morelli vgh (a) but I like this more. The effect is you riffle through the pack and select a card it's lost in the pack and then you show two jokers. With a wave the selected card is in between both jokers. Then the select vanishes in between both jokers and pops out of the deck right where it started. I think this routine is the most flowing routine on the download and utilizes a cool steal that be used for other things. Overall I think this is the best effect on the download
Why-MAX
7/10
This effect is more of an add on that you can include to the other Fontaine routines. It's a pretty neat vanish and reappearance of a card but is not good stand alone. Although I feel like this will go into my sandwich routine with inflict by Patrick kun
Explanation:
10/10
With over an hour of teaching Zach does a great job explaining the moves and breaking them down. Although I thought he was going slow in some parts he did an excellent job on making you understand. He also does a great job going over the applications and doing the sleight with minimal error.
Performances:
7/10
Although Zack does perform all three effects straight through, I thought it would have been better to show live performances for real people. But other than that to nothing much to complain about
Quality:
10/10
This is by far one of the best quality downloads on the wire. It reminds me of actual theory11 downloads. The camera angles were well shot and the background music was at a good volume that didn't take away from the learning process.
Price
9/10
If you like what you see in the trailer then that's exactly what your going to get. Zack could have easily made this download like $10 because of all the information that he's providing you but he put it at $7 which is a steal. Overall I think it's a great price for the quality and information your getting
Overall:
9/10
Overall this is probably the best download on the wire. I know this effect over hyped but honestly it's great download. Even if you don't like the routines I can assure you than you can apply the moves you learn in this download into your other routines. I'm already brainstorming and thinking about using this with tony Chang's sandwiches for mere mortals. Overall if you like what you are in the trailer then you'll love this. Hats off to you zach mueller you did a great job!
