The 52 vs Joker Project Review

Official Review

This is going to be another easy review. Big Blind Media has brought us a project with an interesting set of gaffs, and some cool routines to with them. The basic premise is to create powerful effects using the “52 on 1” gaff that usually just ends with a gag. The other gaff included is a double facer, and I can expose this because BBM has taken the ethical approach and told us EXACTLY what gaffs we’re being supplied with.

The actual effects are clean, look natural, and will open you up to the potential these gaffs have in your card magic. While I feel the routines included are best suited for magicians, they are quick and interesting enough to be performed for laymen, though I’m not sure they will appreciate the effects as much as your fellow magic buddies.

I say this because we magicians accept the idea of a “52 on 1” gaff, and laypeople have never seen one of these before. However, the routines are structured so that when the “52 on 1” appears or changes, the heat is now on a different card, and you are able to get the gaff out of play.

The DVD is well shot, well produced, and Gary Jones and Chris Congreave do a fantastic job of performing and explaining the effects. The actual moves are within the range of the average card worker, and the bonus ideas are actually worthwhile.

If you don’t mind using gaffs or gags in an effect, you will enjoy playing with the routines on this DVD.
