"In magic, today as always, the effect is what counts. The methods used are always purely secondary."
- Dai Vernon
Ultimate Self Working Card Tricks Vol3 collects together ten of the greatest card tricks of all time - routines that will absolutely decimate any audience. Yet despite their incredible impact, they do not require any sleight of hand. Yep, these barnstorming effects are SELF WORKING! Using ingenious methods that will allow you to fool absolutely anyone, they ensure that you can purely concentrate on your performance.
From Daryl's insanely visual 'Rising Card' to Sal Piacente's impossible multiphase card cheat demonstration 'Memory Opener' to Caleb Wile's magician fooling 'Armchair Mindreading', these are truly world class magic tricks.
Seriously these are NOT your run of the mill self working effects - these are some of the most powerful card tricks ever invented - they just happen to require no sleight of hand.
Prepare to fool the pants off your audience. And while they are busy reeling from the impact of these stunning effects, you will be able to have a little laugh inside about just how EASY to perform they were!

I loved Volume One of this series, which featured lots of plug and play effects for the beginning card magician, and the wise professional who knows the value of moveless card magic. My standards were huge for this installment, and I was honestly a little let down.
The quality of performance and teaching is a little all over the place with the different guys performing and teaching the various tricks. My main issue is that some of these guys are just not engaging performers. If the point of self working material is to ‘focus on your presentation skills’ then we should see some good quality performers make something of this great material. There are moments during some great tricks where I was bored out of my mind, and wanted them to get to the point.
Then there’s the teaching. There are SO many times that the teachers look at each other, and say, “So WHY does it work? Who knows?” I don’t understand why BBM got guys to teach things they don’t fully understand. BBM has worked with some of the creators of these effects, why not have THEM explain these tricks?
There are some good effects, but a lot of the effects have similar procedures, odd handlings, or unfair moments. I liked a few of the methods and principles, but over all, there wasn’t as many great full effects as on the first volume of this series.
Some highlights on this disc were Armchair Mind Reading, Daryl’s Rising Card, and John Scarne’s Stapled Card.
This Volume is NOT bad, but not as good as the first. Just three stars and a half stars for this one.
