Hey guys

The new show is now live. Sorry about the quality of the video, YouTube is having a fit so we have uploaded a lower quality file until we can get the HD version online later today or tomorrow. We will be uploading to iTunes a day later as well. sorry guys.

Anyway here is the link, on this show show we look at the billet box, Ransom by Magic Geek, Springboard Jesse Feinburg and V2F by SM Productionz.

Please let me know what you think, and feedback would be great.

Yeah, I realized that it doesn't look as sharp as the previous ones. Anyway, still love it. Great review. And we should get G's real name LOL.

Wow,

I've never seen Craig so ****ed off he exposed a gimmick before.

Not that its much of a gimmick... I think I learned a no-glue version of this from a book when I was 10...

Thanks for lowering the boom on some of the crap out there. I think magic really benefits from this kind of house cleaning.

Glad your enjoying the shows guys.

Ransom annoyed me because the team at Magic Geek are capable of so much more. They have released some great stuff in the past.

This was not their finest hour but I'm sure they will bounce back

I think RANSOM is GREAT. I do it all the time. I HATE using a TT! But I do love the Wizard Product Reviews! Keep up the good work, guys!

P.S. I just put together my "Consignment" trick, and boy have I blown away a few people! Another awesome effect!
It would really be quite tragic
if the world had to do without magic!

Fair play, like we always say it's only the opinion of two guys! Doesn't mean we are right!

But I gotta know, what do you think of the coin trick bonus routine?

Btw Consignment does kick ass!!!

When are you guys going to review Consignment anyways?? ;-)

Thanks for allowing me to have my opinion on Ransom without trying to convince me otherwise. To tell you the truth, I only watched the DVD long enough to learn the bill switch; I haven't even bothered to watch the rest of the disc! Don't tell Chris at Magic Geek!

Any hints on next weeks reviews? I may go get IMAGINE tomorrow from one of the local magic shops here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I just received REWIND in the mail today. I ordered it partly thanks to your review a few episodes ago . . .

The show is great.

I hope its good advertising for the shop because its definitely a service to the community.

I kind of think of you two like the Siskel and Ebert of magic (back when they were good.)

P.S You are the only thing Im subscribed to on you-tube

If you like the billet box, you would LOVE the Mentalist Dream Box by Max Krause. Far superior in mechanics and a beautiful and functional object. The mentalist never needs to touch the box. I hope the Wizard guys will review that box because I think they would find it much better than the so-called Ultimate box.

Well, they were both pretty good up until Gene Siskel fell very ill and then passed away. But yes, a good comparison as Craig and David play quite well off each other.

By the way, you CAN end clean with RANSOM. I did it the other day. I changed an American $1 bill into a Canadian $5 bill. I handed out the Canadian bill, and then "produced an American $1 that I always keep in my wallet" after loading into my Card in Wallet wallet. My hands were clean and with NO TT!!!
