I agree on the Jason tangent, Jason and the Argonauts for an example of the "we're all dorks" point too ! (Just trying to catch up with all the massive amount of content you've put out, very impressive)
Great review David, absolutely love the book reviews. You are 1 of only 2 magic channels that review books on a regular... And I'm here for it 👌🏼 Book looks great BTW, have you reads/got a copy of his 2nd book too? And if so, is it also worth getting? Gotta say Vanishing Inc. put out, in my opinion, the BEST magic books. Always so well made and laid out. Happy Friday dude!, here's to a great weekend 👍🏼
Hey Marcus, David's comment on growing into a book as you improve is completely applicable to the second book, Game Changer, as well. Like the first book, the layout (Effect, Setup, Method, Full Patter, Comments, Credits) is the same and the pictures are very good. If you are able to get both then I would recommend it. However, you can't go wrong with one or the other as all the tricks are audience tested and very good.
Jim, what's your opinion on the 2nd book compared to the first? Is it just as packed with tricks? If you had to get just 1 to start with, which would be your choice? Cheers in advance buddy 👍🏼
Have you done a review for the gaff lighter project from Adam Wilbur and Vulpine Creations? I haven’t seen any reviews for it yet, at least to my knowledge
David Regal, Copperfield, Kaye, Johnathan,etc. And how could you not think T-shirt and jeans wearing David Blaine isn’t cool? Come on David we are in great company.
You mention he doesn't hold your hand and that you need to know the slights he mentions (such as Marlo's convincing control). What book do you recommend that describes the slights in this book for us beginners who might not know all the slights he uses in the book
In the book I teach the more complicated sleights. If it's standard move like a palm, I'll tell you what book / page you can find it. Honestly, if you get Card College, you'll be able to do everything in my books.
awesome review...as always. my only concern here is: with gaff decks or wallets we will often say something like "can i do this/that effect WITHOUT this gaffed deck etc.. So why dont we mention that with books often. Jason is DEFINITELY a great cardician easily top 5 in the world imo. BUT i own virtually every book, pdf etc of his and i have seldom come across an effect which would not be perceieved exactly the same from a spectator, but done in a much easier fashion. I think he has a tendency to lean indulge in his great skill a lil too much. I challenge anyone who owns one of his books, to take a few moments and think..."can't i just do this portion with a simple __ instead?" The answer in 9 of 10 of his effects will be YES. This isnt HIS fault either. Darwin (his mentor) would often do the exact same. I loved most of Darwin's effects that i saw. He and Ammar were my first dvd sets. I never liked tho how TIGHT Darwin's style was often and the frequent SQUEEZING of the deck etc. Anyway, as i progressed and became expert level myself thru the years, i would fo back and review MY roots (those old dvds). And i immediately noticed a "why did he do it that way" moment...then another, then another. So it is no surprise that unfortunatelt Jason does the same things. For me, i go for: 1. effect from spectator perception and, 2. economy and naturalism of motion. imo, although the effects AND SKILL are top flight no doubt, they are often contrived in respect to economy of motion and could be and done sooo much easier. Just my thoughts as to why many reviewers do not mention things like this when reviewing the books. Whereas, like i said, we will do so with a gaffed deck etc.
Thanks for the compliments. I'm not being confrontational, I'm genuinely curious what effects / sleights or construction you feel could have been done easier. Again, not here to fight, just wondering what you're thinking.
@@CardMagicByJason I just saw this reply. I am an avid note taker on nearly everything I read learn do etc. I am currently out of state visiting family, however when I get back in 2 more weeks I will definitely send you a few of the items I'd noticed, if you're still curious.

…just don’t go posing for a marble statue.
Fantastic review! Definitely going to have to pick this one up!
Hope you enjoy it!

I need a day off - LOL
I bought my copy from Vanishing Inc for $48 during Black Friday sale, also bought Game Changer. Cant wait to get them.
nice !!!!
Love the review! I plan to purchase this book and would love to hear a review on his second book. Thanks David.
I need to get that one next
I bought this as soon as it was back in stock, I had no idea the videos came with it! LOL Thanks David for a great review.
Hope you enjoy it!
Hey @jkrjhn8 i cant get this book its not deliverable to my contry ... can you share it with me
David Blaine. David Roth. David Stone. David Regal. David Copperfield. David Williamson. David L&L.
yea .. I dont know that these are good examples of people who are "COOL"
@@magicorthodoxy David L&L is as cool as they get. Bill Malone said so!
King David. Anyone who can smite a Goliath with a slingshot is undeniably cool (and bad in a good way).
The statue of David?
you and me David 👍🏻👍🏻
I like the way Jason’s book title blacks out the “con” of confident 👮🏼♂️🎰🚔🏛
Happy Friday!
very creative

Thank you for reviewing this. I really wanted to read a review of his books. I'm not sure if there is a review for Game Changer either.
next on my list to get
Both of Jason's books are of tip top quality!
I need to get the next one
Jim, what's your opinion on the 2nd book compared to the first? Is it just as packed with tricks? If you had to get just 1 to start with, which would be your choice?
Cheers in advance buddy 👍🏼
Have you done a review for the gaff lighter project from Adam Wilbur and Vulpine Creations? I haven’t seen any reviews for it yet, at least to my knowledge
not yet - still playing with it
Great book! Glad to see that it was reprinted.
Me too!
I've taken a few zoom lessons from him. Cool guy........ You didn't mention Jason England. Another cool Jason.
Jason is awesome, yes
David Blaine is pretty dope
he sure is
Gday David great review of an incredible card mechanic. Better do u think to get the book, DVD series, or both?
i've never seen the DVD series, I guess it depends on what kind of learner you are
Great book review. Jason is a wizard with cards.😊👍😊👍👍
Sure is
What about the statue of David!?! By Michelangelo? He has been kinda a big deal since the year 1501.
He needs pants
David Regal, Copperfield, Kaye, Johnathan,etc. And how could you not think T-shirt and jeans wearing David Blaine isn’t cool? Come on David we are in great company.
"Cool?" ha ha ... magic cool is totally different than Jason Momoa cool
You mention he doesn't hold your hand and that you need to know the slights he mentions (such as Marlo's convincing control). What book do you recommend that describes the slights in this book for us beginners who might not know all the slights he uses in the book

@@CardMagicByJason Thanks so much. I am excited to get the book.
Will your book (Confident Deceptions) ever be available again? @@CardMagicByJason

@@thedude9044 still waiting.
@thedude you have the actual man himself willing to engage in a healthy manor. This should be seen as a learning experience.
David lee Roth ! David Crosby ! Lot’s of cool David’s
famous yes ... cool?
That is a cool book and a very good review for it.
THANKS SHAWN
Somebody got into the magic brownies. Lol!
huh ???
How about a recommendation for a beginner book that would be a good prerequisite for this one?
have you watched this yet? ua-cam.com/video/Lpghf1HNXZ0/v-deo.html
This is great! Please let's have everyone go to Vanishing Inc and ask for Destroyers & Moments from Troy Hoosier and The Complete Sankey!
