Along For The Ride is a short effect, a very short one. I guess my review for this would be very short too but nonetheless, do not let this stop you from buying this effect.
The basic effect is: 4 Jokers playing cards are shown. Spectators hold 2 jokers and while the magician holds the other 2. Magician puts the joker face to face and the jokers vanishes and appears in the other 2 jokers which has been held by the spectator all along.
What you get are specially printed cards in bicycle stock and a password to an online instructions video. Peter Nardi always comes up with clever and easy to do tricks and Along For The Ride is one of them. I have always liked Peter Nardi’s effect. They are practical and baffling. The effect has a 2 seconds setup and also need a simple reset after the end of the performance. The setup and reset can be done very quickly. Video instructions are short but precise. Like all Peter Nardi’s effects, there are no difficult moves. You’d have no difficulty learning this effect and you can probably start performing it after you view the video.
Being such a short effect, it would be weird if you were to perform it by itself. I’d think it’d be great if you can link this together with other effects which are related to jokers.
There you go, a very short review, I really can’t think of what to say for this effect. I like this and I have no problem recommending it.
Rating: 8/10. Recommended.
