Hey guys. I'm doing a review of the new Lloyd Barnes PDF "Rebel". It's full of cool stuff you should definitely check out! Here's what's in it:
CPR CHANGE - An alternative to the Clipshift, with just as many applications. I got to purchase this in video form, and the text is a good source to learn from, though of course not as in depth, but all the applications Lloyd discusses in the video are gone over in the ebook. It's a nice looking, fast change that can be done anywhere. This might suit some of you whose knuckles ache at Mr. Nelson's move.
BARREL CHANGE - This change is cool, if you have the audience management to pull it off. It's a slow motion change of a card with no cover, reminiscent of an open looking Cartier. I really like this change, it's a different and unusual happening. I recommend this highly.
SAVINGS CHANGE - A startling card change inside the box. It looks very clean and open, and would have been a perfect addition to Eric Goldfarb's stellar EP download. This is a very situational thing, but will work well under the right circumstances. Definitely something you can play around with. Think card back changes.
CPR CONTROL - A tabled control using the CPR technique, very smooth and deceptive.
LTB CONTROL - A knacky control, but deceptive under the right circumstances. It's very clean looking, and combines two moves. I have to say, I like the original better, but this is an interesting variation you just might prefer. Reminiscent of Daniel Madison's thinking.
LIGHT SWITCH - A tabled switch. Also Madison-esque, this move is very clean if done right. This could just complete your monte routine.
VIRGIN SWITCH - An amazing center switch to use in almost any routine where you have a face down outjogged card in the middle. It's that good, trust.
VIRGIN TRANSPO - A Tivo variation (ugh, I know), but one that uses the Virgin Switch. It's actually good, compared to that "Tivo 2.348329853249058234kdsmnfkldsf" that the kid down the street posted on Vimeo.
TWINS - Yet another Madison-like thing where a duplicate is divined. A great mentalism piece with cards. I recommend it. Clean and smooth, like WD-40. xD
RED SKY - A routine utilizing several moves, and is basically a transposition. It's interesting and fun to watch live. If you want something different for once, try this.
SNIPER - A take on the spectator card stab plot. Very interesting. Very, very clean.
FLY - I like this a lot. Sandwich transposition? Yes please. A very unique set of moves here, that are very convincing and natural. Sandwich lovers, take a bite.
EAT FRESH SANDWICH - A cool routine with a lot of great moves, and a slow, "melting" effect.
FLIC-FLAC - An inversion routine combining moves from the PDF, resulting in a closer of an effect. Definitely a great last piece, recommended for that.
All in all, this PDF combines elements of Myles Nakouzi and Daniel Madison. I highly recommend this PDF to any serious card magician. Have fun!
