Hey David, could you please do a review of Daniel Madison's "Legacy"?

[@magicorthodoxy]

i'd love to, but I don't own it

[@sleightlyhandy889]

magicorthodoxy oh. Well, it looks like its worth it to me. $20 for every book DM has made (except htcac)? Sign me up. Was just wondering if it actually is worth ot.

boo ya

[@markvinod555]

Hey David i don't do gambling effects is this only about gambling effects or i can apply to any card magic.

[@magicorthodoxy]

You can apply it, the book is more about Henry Christ's classic "Fabulous Four Ace" routine while talking about removing anti-climactic moments in your magic and ensuring that the revelations build in progressively stronger and more distinctive ways. In other words stripping away every unnecessary action in your routines. He also covers maintaining a stack while a spectator shuffles the deck, maintaining the stack as the magician, and producing the Aces. He'll also cover two sleights, the Sting Cut and the Real Optical False Shuffle.

Would you say this is for beginners or advanced people?

[@magicorthodoxy]

The effects and moves in this book are not "difficult" but it's important to understand that simplicity doesn't mean "easy." This book is for people who want to become better and more efficient at what they do. This book is also for people who do 4 ace routines, gambling style effects etc.

[@depauwgerlings]

Does this include Ramjolock?

[@magicorthodoxy]

no

[@sven_zauberer]

Less is more or Real Ace Cutting? What would you recommend?

[@magicorthodoxy]

oh wow... probably Real Ace Cutting

[@sven_zauberer]

magicorthodoxy Ok Any reasons why? Because i thought you prefer book?

[@magicorthodoxy]

well they don't teach the same thing .... so you asked which I reccomended

[@sven_zauberer]

magicorthodoxy But Real Ace Cutting is part of less is more? Thank you!

[@magicorthodoxy]

If you want to learn Ace Cutting get the DVD, if you want to learn Henry Christ's classic "Fabulous Four Ace" routine, gambling demonstrations and Ben's advice on stripping away every unnecessary action - then get the book
