Love ben and his magic but that wooden hand is ridiculous and a waste. If they wanted to include a physical prop to add value there is so many better useful things they could have included.

[@magicorthodoxy]

like sunglasses !!!

[@AllenBoudreaux]

Have to agree, that turned me off from this when it came out because I already have the exact same articulated wooden hand - it’s not a sculpture, it’s made for artists to learn to draw hands and I got it at my local art supply store for $10.

[@magicmagicman]

@@AllenBoudreaux Exactly. I feel like they bought a thousand of them wholesale for $5 each, had the word "Unreal" engraved on the front and thought that was justification for adding another $50 to the price tag. Even the blackops watch is more useful than "the hand "and that was awful. smh.

[@Conwads]

I literally found the same wooden hand at ikea for $15

[@JagMagic]

100% agreed but I did like his teaching style

[@vengeanceXO]

Amazing review as always! I don’t think I’ll have the time to practice this but I’ll look forward to it, thanks David!

[@magicorthodoxy]

😊👍

[@cmclaplata]

Ok... I got this, and I've watched avery video. I've been thinkings a lot about what to write here, but I'll do it straight. I didn't know Ben before this project (maybe I should) but he is a Master! Performing, tecnically speaking, croud control, teaching. And this Master takes your hand and takes you from 0 to getting mind blowing reactions. I loved it all! It's a must have for any card magician

[@magicorthodoxy]

great comment !!!!

[@DavidM-lj5yv]

Spot on. Loved this so much. Just got the 2nd one on pre-order and the card effects in that are just as impressive. I am so glad I got these and have been performing a lot of the routines a ton these past weeks. Ben Earl is such a great teacher, and performer. Hard hitting and quick-- Just the way I like it.

[@And1_Dirk]

@@DavidM-lj5yvThe 2nd one? He’s doing a 2nd series following up on this one?

[@DavidM-lj5yv]

@@And1_Dirk Yes, it's available now on Ellusionist. More fantastic routines.

[@daverothberg2624]

I bought this thru Kickstarter. It is overwhelming, but watching a master for the entire project is very entertaining. A lot of tricks and theory, you won’t get elsewhere. You got to put in the work. WTF book 📖 included too. Thanks for reviewing David 👍👍

[@magicorthodoxy]

Thanks for sharing!

[@carlpowers7291]

Sounds like a great thing to have with the exception of the hand and the base. I’m sure it factors into the price a great deal. The omission of the hand and base could be filled with more types of decks that we all use to make our effects better

[@magicorthodoxy]

😊👍

[@marcomartens484]

This video series is an example of what such training videos should look like. Ben is a great teacher. It's so easy to understand and he takes the time that a good explanation with details requires. And that's exactly why this course is also suitable for beginners. I started the course at 0 in Card Magic and am still in the basic videos and practicing, practicing, practicing Thanks to Ben's very good explanation, I am very motivated and look forward to each new step that I can start after internalizing the previous one. Is it worth the price? Yes. I'd rather pay 140 for something that will teach me a lot and help me find my way around card magic than 50 for something that I won't use after a short while. But there is also something negative for me, the hand. It's unnecessary and you can get it for 12.99 at Ikea But since I don't know how much cheaper it would be without hand, it's not important to me. I can waste so much money on bad tricks, so it's okay to pay a little more for something that's really good. But fortunately there are competent magicians who protect us from bad purchases with their reviews. 😉 sorry for the bad English, I had some help from a translator 😁😉

[@magicorthodoxy]

Great 👍 comment

[@patrickmcevoy3257]

Hi David i watch ben Earl on u tube his card magic rocks i watch u on u tube when u talked about shin lims magic kit a few years ago thanks

[@magicorthodoxy]

Happy to help

[@YinHoweMagic]

Thanks for the shoutout again David! I wouldn't skip the basic techniques videos as even an intermediate magician might pick up some nuances there as well. :) :)

[@magicorthodoxy]

You bet!

[@georgedavis6735]

Thanks of this. Looking forward to a review of Unreal Card Magic 2....

[@magicorthodoxy]

I didn't pick it up, sorry

[@g.allenclarkejr.4539]

Nice review and it Sounds pretty Cool David. Maybe after I finish Card College. Not one routine with the hand...

[@magicorthodoxy]

Sounds good

[@mathmusicstructure]

Ben's stuff is expensive generally. He's one of the best in the world and he knows it. This might be the best value for money project he's ever put out.

[@magicorthodoxy]

You may be right

[@brahamwijaya1039]

Bens approach is the opposite of the modern magic culture. Not rellying on overly technical sleights. But rellying on nuances that shuts down the spectators awareness.

[@magicorthodoxy]

agreed

[@RJShawIV]

Sounds like a great investment for serious card magicians. 👍🏻

[@magicorthodoxy]

I think so too!

[@rockgiant]

Be nice if there was a download option for the video. Luckily I happen to have an oddity shop so I have some spare hands about. I’m definitely using the idea of using the hands to display some of the magic! We have a small little corner of magic

[@magicorthodoxy]

That would be cool!

[@carlpowers7291]

I’m really into card magic but I’m scared to death of all the things that one needs to learn to become a decent card magician

[@magicorthodoxy]

just go at your own pace and take it one move at a time

[@Rodinmysteries]

You can do this, Carl. Include what is workable and appropriate for your style and leave out what you find difficult and come back to it later if you think you could learn it. 

[@photopro28]

This is for intetmediate to advanced card magicians who have the time to invest. To actually absorb an hour tuttorial and practice the sleights is probably in the 3 to 5 hour range for the person watching it. These are very complex sleights. For me, I invest in tricks like Albo 2.0, Blizzard and the Nemesis deck. For beginners in card magic i recommend Born To Perform Card Magic by Oz Pearlman. The DVD is about $30, and no unneccessary wooden hand that i dont want. Thanks for the review though. 👏

[@magicorthodoxy]

thanks for visiting

[@cmclaplata]

I disagree! They are not complex sleights. Well, some (like one hand bottom palm are) but most are just basics (top change, controls, shuffles, cuts, forces). Come on! Difficult for someone that never holded a deck before? Yes! Complex? I don't think so

[@guest3997]

Hi David, thank you for a great review! Your friend, David

[@magicorthodoxy]

My pleasure!

What is your review on primary movement by ben earl

[@magicorthodoxy]

I wish I had it

[@reuvengershon6625]

Thanks David

[@magicorthodoxy]

🪝you're welcome

[@reuvengershon6625]

@@magicorthodoxy David I was watching your video on Temu cheap tricks today. Suddenly my screen says - can't watch members only - which is weird as I was just watching. Plus I think I am a member of one of your 2nd channels already and pay a monthly sub. Do you know what's going on? Thankw

[@pinballwizard666]

Maybe i could use the wooden hand to help hitting the buttons?

[@magicorthodoxy]

... maybe

[@seanfaherty]

So for $150 they include a $25 drawing aid ? Just sell me the magic tricks for a fair price.

[@magicorthodoxy]

12 hours of tutorial, for $150 is $12.50 an hour. That's pretty fair. don't you think? Plus the white Tally decks are about $10 a piece

[@seanfaherty]

they give a lot of material granted. Probably undervalued. I just think when they include things you don't want it adds to the price unnecessarily. How much more does my phone cost with all that cardboard ? Would my car be cheaper if it didn't have GPS and cameras ? I get that marketing costs money I just don't want to pay for the things that I'm going to throw in the garbage @@magicorthodoxy

[@magicorthodoxy]

😊👍

[@And1_Dirk]

@@magicorthodoxyexactly. The cards and wooden hand are just extras. The videos and teaching are worth the price. Ben really does a great job explaining everything. And he makes it simple to learn. All you have to do is practice.

[@Moviemaniac221]

getting this, evoke, and magic button at the same time was a mistake. on the plus side I'll be busy all year dissecting it and not tempted to buy the new trick of tht week

[@magicorthodoxy]

Too much tutorial to watch?

[@gaffedacademy]

The madpaperpeople and Gaffed Academy have a homemade roughing Balm, madpaperpeople created and I am getting it out there,. If I send you 1 would you do a video review on it?? Still loving your channel Cheers bud👍👍

Hey David In the video at 2.35, you said you get 2 decks of Bicycle cards They're actually Tally-Ho decks haha Will you be attending the Blackpool Magic Convention this week? If not, would you like me to film anything in particular that you'd like to use foe your channel? Happy to film and send a private unlisted video link to you I live 10 minutes away from The Winter Gardens where the Convention is held so I'm only up the road 😬

[@magicorthodoxy]

Tally Ho decks are made by Bicycle - I will not be going to Blackpool, but thanks
