Magic Product Review - Squint By Chris James

I love packet tricks and Chris James has released through Alakazam Magic one called Squint. It is a handeling that combines elements of other packet tricks and resolves some of the issues he had with them. I really like this packet trick and you may be interested. Watch the review to see my perspective.
If you are interested in purchasing you can get it through Alakazam Magic. alakazam.co.uk/

This is why you’re one of the best reviewers out there IMO. You don’t just praise some thing because it was sent to you or because you like the person you give actual criticisms that actually help the creator. Let me talk for a second about this. I completely agree about an over the shoulder tighter shot for “the move” in fact I wanted it on at the end. A full section just going over it in multiple angles. Unfortunately I got so busy and we delayed the trick for various reason during production. So it needed to get put out. That said I do plan on filming and making the a video to put up there. Doing tutorials are very new for me. Nerve wracking. Inside scoop I messed up like 15 times while filming it. Had to cut it out lol. Anyway I appreciate the review. Every word you said I am listening. I hear you. Keep doing this exactly how you are doing it. Oh and also ty so much for pointing out my crediting. I think that is so important.

Hello Chris, first of all thank you so much for your kind words and being a class act. I can completely relate to the nerve wracking process of filming performances and tutorials. I don't think most people have any idea how much it takes to get it right. You are dong awesome and really like what you are putting out there. Wishing you much success on this release and looking forward to seeing what the future holds. All the best.

You know you've made a cool product when FiddlinJonny reviews it! Good job Chris! Awesome review Jonny! I personally love this trick, it ticks all my boxes for a packet trick.

[@chrisjamesmagic8396]

Haha. Very true. And thanks!!!

[@fiddlinjonny]

Hey Matt, thanks so much and glad you liked it. I must admit I am a fan of Chris and love the effect. Thanks so much for watching.

[@johnowen5686]

Great comment off Chris James ,Ive had similar effects but this looks really good !!! Review is first class as usual Jonny. I remember when I first started buying packet tricks many moons ago,before video became popular and used to get frustrated reading instructions over and over before it clicked😊

[@fiddlinjonny]

Hey John, You and I are in the same club when it comes to those old instructions and trying to figure out what the heck they were trying to say. Some were terrible in their explanation. I am so happy these days with much better video tutorials. Take care my friend.

[@DavidM-lj5yv]

Oh this looks good. Thanks for the review Jonny-- Hope you are well !!

[@fiddlinjonny]

Hey David, Thanks so much for watching and hope you too are doing well my friend.

[@Crawdini]

Nice review Jonny. Thank You.

[@fiddlinjonny]

Hello David. Been missing you and hope you are doing well.

[@robjacks2748]

Quite a cute trick. Reminds me a bit of NFW. I do like that one better. I like that there is such an elaborate tutorial. It seems that anything that involves Craig Petty requires a comfortable couch to watch. He's a bit long winded. I'm looking forward to your DEX review. There is a massive controversy brewing and some really nasty video exchanges.

[@fiddlinjonny]

Hey Rob, hope you are doing well. Yes I can completely relate to having a similar packet trick that is preferable. I love playing around with packet tricks. I have been spending a lot of time practicing with Dex and am posting my review of it today. Thanks for being here.

[@magiccorner2019]

great review...looks like Killer OMG

[@fiddlinjonny]

Hello Magic Corner. Thanks and hope you are doing well.

[@BlakeAleongMagic]

Lovely review Jonny! Hope all is well with you.

[@fiddlinjonny]

Thanks so much Blake. All is good in this neck of the woods and hope you are doing well.

[@k2aust]

Great review, keep up the great work.

[@fiddlinjonny]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it and am glad that you are watching. Have an awesome day.

[@themagicbuzz5728]

Nice review Sir. 👍🏼👊🏼

[@fiddlinjonny]

Thanks so much and I might add that you made me laugh with your last post on Dex. By the way we both agree that the road to hell is paved with dirty sponge balls.

[@jlebowitz8325]

Wonderful review and thanks for the demo! How examinable is it in the end? Looking at the trick, I imagine that there are some extra cards that you might be left with such that you don't end clean. Do they make suggestions on how to ditch them? Thanks!

[@chrisjamesmagic8396]

Great question. Because of how the trick is set up, can’t really ditch anything. Basically there’s one card that’s dirty at the end, but you can freely hand out three of the cards. I don’t ever bother handing the third card. I always hand them two and it’s more than enough. You can see that in the trailer as well. But I’ve also added an extra ending. I prefer. I change them back. Then at that point you could easily switch for 4 aces anyway you see fit.

[@fiddlinjonny]

Chris's response is spot on. I honestly have not had anyone want to really look at the cards and when they do I follow Chris's instructions and just hand them two of the cards and they seem satisfied. Thankd for watching.

[@vinodfurtado]

Sir can those gimmicks be made. is this in similar line with A*E by ri**ar*s Sa***ers or completely different concept. i like this as it seems better than Spindoctor .

[@chrisjamesmagic8396]

Not really like the trick you speak of. Feels completely different to the spectator. Different sleights. Handling. They both do use the same amount of cards and the one thing special they both use. Hope this helps.

[@fiddlinjonny]

Hey Vino hope you are doing well. and I would say what Chris say's below. Thanks so much for watching.
