An Unsolicited
Endorsement from Legendary Mentalist, Creator
of Magic & Mentalism, and MagicCleaver Member,
Larry Becker
"Hi Sean. To begin, I've enjoyed your reviews very much, both as
a performer and as a creator of magic and mentalism. I
initially had some doubts, but you have convinced me that you
are a fair and impartial reviewer with a drole sense of
humor."
"As you know, my associate Lee Earle and I have a line of mental
effects, books and DVD's that we have created and produced. If
you would like to review any of our material simply let me
know."
"If you need a plug to help you build a larger audience, we'd
be glad to do so. Naturally you will be free to comment on
our material pro, con or in between. That's up to you."
Warmest regards- Larry Becker

Video Reviews of Magic's Newest Releases!
We Rank Dozens of New
Magic Releases
Each and Every Month on 7 Key Criteria:
Impact: How powerful and how good is the magic?
What kind of response will it get from the audience?
Compared to other, similar effects, which one will give you
the sort of audience IMPACT you're looking for? These are the kinds of questions we answer on
each DVD,
magic trick, book, or anything else we review.
Practicality: We'll let you know
how performable the magic is... what the set-up
"hassle-factor" is, and how practical the method
is.
Value for the Money: You don't have unlimited money to spend
on the magic you buy -- so you want to get the best bang for
your buck. That's why we rate each DVD, magic
trick, book, or effect in terms of the value for the money
spent.
Quality & Workmanship: For "hard
goods"... we'll let you know whether the props are well
built, the gaffed cards look good or bad, etc. For DVDs we'll let you know whether the video was
shot with high quality lighting and editing -- or if it's
pretty shoddy.
Clear Instructions: Although
this is a minor factor in many magic releases, it's still
nice to know whether the product has crystal clear
teaching... whether printed or video.
Originality: This is important
for a lot of magicians -- especially magicians who invent
magic tricks. So it's nice to know the level of
"originality" that's been brought to a project.
(Including whether the author has given proper credit to
past creators). After all, giving credit where
credit is due is a BIG deal in our industry.
Who's It Best For?: This is
important... after all, if you only do walk
around and close-up magic, you don't want to be buying
things that'll take up all your pocket space and has a
reset time of 15 minutes!
We also take into considering
whether you're performing for a living -- or if you're a
casual performer. We also look at what venues
the magic will be best suited for.
Why not sign-up right now... there's NOTHING to
buy now, or ever! It's totally free, and a real blessing for
magicians everywhere.
YES!
