Hey everybody welcome back to Magic with the doxy my name is David and this is Magic Review Hey today we're gonna look at the Imagine Nation project from Michael O. Brian. All right, so what is this? Basically, it's a self-published book of over 30 effects of Michael's real world repertoire. You want to see the trailer? This is it Hi, my name is Michael O. Brian. Today I'm very excited to share with you my new book the Imagine Nation project. This book features 31 close-up effects for my personal working repertoire including card magic, coin magic, cups and balls, spongeballs, chop-cut, mentalism, even a routine using a rose. Aside from the effects in this book, you're also gonna learn how to make some new gimmicks as well as some new sleight of hand that you can add to your already existing routine. Thank you so much for watching everyone until next time All right, so that was the Imagine Nation project from Michael O. Brian. Like I said, it's a card magic book mostly mostly card magic and over 30 effects. Okay, so within the 106 pages, what kind of effects are you gonna get? You're gonna get an in-the-hand strife effect a red hot mama effect color changing deck transpositions sandwich effects do as I do oil and water for a production card to pocket a ton of tricks involving a blank card or blank deck so you always find blank cards in your deck sometimes what do you do with them? He's got the answer for you coins across trick He's got a rope trick in there. He even has to trick involving a actual rose like a real flower. Okay Trick involving Pokemon cards. Come on and a chop cup effect all tricks from Michael's working Professional repertoire. All right, so is the book well made? It is a softbound book 106 pages like I said it's self-published. You're gonna get color photographs Michael writes easy enough to follow along with The pages are tall. It's got a very clean easy to read font and I think it covered every aspect of the trick You know including tips new wances his inspiration for each effect Mostly as far as longevity like each one of the tricks is about. I'll say four to five pages long Michael does teach some of the basic skills needed but of course He is an advanced magician and so there are several different slides and moves that he didn't create so he's not you know Allowed to teach you those effects. So he will reference those in bold or in quotations for you But you will need to either know those in advance or go and find out how to do them So I would say this book is probably targeted at an intermediate skill level magician Positive all right, so one of the positives for this book You know it is a self-published book straight from the routines of an experienced working professional fans of Something new will certainly enjoy a Michael O'Brien's contributions and his creativity Negative all right, so like we say around here. There's negatives to everything These are just the negatives that I see they don't have to be the negatives that you see I kind of wish he had had a stronger editor Just some of the format lay out spelling grammatics just things like that nothing terrible nothing I catching nothing popping and saying I'm nothing glaring just little tiny things that maybe would separate a self-published book from a Professionally edited book that's all who would like this like I said people who like something new People who just want to try out some new effect people who relish and collect when creators actually share their inspired work when people share their day-in day-out routines I think would get a big kick from Michael O'Brien's Imagination project all right, so that's my review of the imagination project from Michael O'Brien I want to thank Michael O'Brien for allowing me to have this book so that I could do the review for you And if you'd like to purchase this book for yourself you can find it at his website or wherever quality magic tricks are sold thanks Bye
