We’ll be checking out Tyler Wilson’s book “Dominatricks”.
Among its contents, this book contains Tyler’s version of Roy Walton’s ‘Card Warp’ - on steroids, an ambitious card routine that relies on post-it notes for the magic to happen, and a coin in bottle routine wherein the final product can be given away, carried in a pocket, and if need be, eaten!
Tyler’s writing style is very clear and entertaining. Lots of the explanations are framed amongst a flirtatious performance (presentation) with a female spectator. The bits of humor written in everywhere you look almost make me think Paul Harris was the final editor…
Left-handed magicians are going to love this book - not because Tyler is left handed and wrote the book as such, it isn’t. However, the book does come with a quality made performance CD detailing the various sleights Tyler has included in this book. So what is there that will make the southpaws happy? The CD also contains an electronic copy of the book - rewritten for left-handed magicians!
Dominatricks retails for $40 and includes the performance CD.
I give ‘Dominatricks’ four and a half stars out of five.

Before me on the chopping block right now is “Jeff McBride’s Zoom, Bounce, and Fly”
For years, Jeff’s been holding his techniques for spinning and shooting cards a dear secret - and at long last, here they are!
On this DVD, Jeff covers all aspects of card throwing - everything from card preparation to the history of the art, and something not so obvious, safety.
Like +95% of card manipulation, the stuff on this DVD is going to take months - if not many years to master. Jeff even states that he has to feel ‘confident’ before throwing in certain moves to his famous card act.
Of all the ’secrets’ Jeff releases, the greatest one is his ‘Mcgrip-Tip’. Without blatantly saying what this is, the provided ‘Tip’ doubled the height of my Long Distance Spinner, the first time I tried it on.
The main thing is that the material here is what you’ve probably been waiting for years - unfortunately, this DVD doesn’t feel like the original ‘Art of Card Manipulation’ series. The explanations are done much quicker and Jeff doesn’t always repeat the moves like in his original manipulation tapes.
That said, I’m crossing my fingers that Jeff re-films his highly successful ‘Art of Card Manipulation’ set. Perhaps on the future, when people are forgetting what DVDs are, Jeff will surprise the world with a beautifully re-mastered 5 DVD set. Yes, I said 5 DVDs, reorganize the original material: one DVD for flourishes, one for single card productions, one for fan manipulation, one for card shooting, and one for all the new stuff that’s come about since the original taping.
I am giving ‘Zoom, Bounce, and Fly’ four and a quarter stars out of five.

Before me I have Inner Mind Productions’ “No Chance”. The package comes with a carefully laid out DVD with a handful of routines that you just ‘can’t loose’. As for the included dice, three are special ‘No-Chance’ dice, three are regular matching dice which - if needed, can be switched for examination.
As always, Peter Nardi and Marc Spelmann are a riot on camera and their conversational style of instruction is simple, clear, and dare I say, mildly entertaining.
Of course people are always demanding more, and I would liked to have seen a few more ideas placed here, something that went beyond variations of a smash and stab effect, or a bank night routine. There are lots of other ideas out there that can be done with these dice, and it’s going to be fun discovering their potential down the line.
This is pure speculation, but for the bizzarists, maybe you could flood Peter and Marc with emails asking for ancient looking (bone?) ‘No-Chance’ dice.
I am giving No Chance four stars out of five.
No Chance retails for $50

I have something very exciting - it’s the Cesaral “Melting Point Reloaded” DVD.
This truly amazing. People throw that word around a lot - I promise to use words of praise if a product deserves it - this one does.
The DVD covers 13 new ways to use the simple gimmick. Everything is as simple and beautiful as the original ‘Melting Point’. If you are a cups and balls performer - this is a must, vanishes, penetrations, and loads are sinfully easy. If you are a coin worker, there are beautiful changes and penetrations a plenty. If you find yourself performing in ‘odd’ situations, there’s even a matrix routine using thumbtacks - you perform this on the seat of a chair or on a carpeted floor (because the tacks are stuck in the surface material).
If you don’t own the original Cesaral Melting Point but you get this DVD, you’ll definitely go back and buy the original.
I’ll say it again, the stuff here is (expletive deleted) amazing!
I am giving this amazing DVD four and a half stars out of five.
The Cesaral Melting Point Reloaded DVD retails for $35
