Deception vol.1 by David Forrest Revealed (free download)
Dave Forrest (creator of Colour Burn and Nothing In Transit) is back with Deception, a new collection of close-up magic bearing all the hallmarks that have made Dave one of magic’s most respected creators.
This, the first volume of Deception, is quite literally bursting with clever concepts, astonishing routines, devious moves and diabolical gaffs!
And everything they say is true. This DVD is one of the BEST I have seen in a very long time.
The Effects:
ONE:
The spectator is asked to “create” a card by naming a color, a suit and ANY value. In the card case (that is in full view the whole time) is ONE card that ends up saying the one they thought of.
THIS is really clever thinking. I got the DVD, watched it, and this is the effect that I could perform 20 minutes afterwards. It’s VERY strong, and even fools magicians. In fact, after I finished watching, I called my friend Mark Tirone (fellow penguin, Girspiggy on the forums) and showed him the effect via Skype. He was fooled and equally impressed by the method.
Worth the ENTIRE price of the DVD.
Matrix:
This one is neat, and in Dave’s hands, looks fantastic. It’s not the most original premise (four X’s moving from the corners of a signed card to one corner) but it’s good.
The handling is VERY move-oriented which I think could have been avoided, but you end with a great giveaway for spectators.
Piccallili:
This is a sandwich effect, kind of combined with cavorting aces. It’s good, visual and I am sure it would work for a lay audience.
…I just don’t like sandwich effects. I have seen a few that totally rock, but this is too… move-y for my taste. Too much going on visually for the concept to really be seen. Easily the weakest on the DVD (but it was still not bad).
S.C.T.A:
A very fair version of Spectator Cuts The Aces.
Unlike the above trick, Spectator Cuts The Aces is a plot I absolutely love… and Dave’s handling is great. It’s very fair but REALLY well thought out. If you like this plot, you will like this handling.
Mentholism:
This is a cool trick where a selected and signed card VISUALLY appears in a tic-tac box.
When I saw the performance, I was fooled by a few aspects. I knew the general handling, but the gimmick is something I haven’t seen before. It’s really neat and well thought out. A little fidgety, but no question this would FLY for laypeople.
DALI:
I LOVE this effect and have already started performing it… a TON. The spectator selects a card, and on the back of your business card, you have a drawing of it. In an attempt to hand it out, you visually POP the drawing out of the business card and hand both out.
This looks awesome, and feels awesome to perform. Plus, the way it is scripted and set is a PERFECT situation to give away a business card.
And more….

Final Thoughts:
This is a REALLY valuable DVD. GREAT moves, tricks, subtleties, and something for EVERY card magician out there. It sparked tons of ideas for me, and ONE and Spectre are going into my act. I would have gladly paid 3x the price as any of these effects could have been sold on their own. I can’t wait for volume 2.
