Mindfreaks Vol. 7 by Criss Angel

Like volume 6, this DVD contains 13 effects with 2 bonus effects from other volumes. This volume is also geared towards a beginner. The effects in this volume are easy to do and some of them are actually quite impressive. You will need to make some simple gimmicks yourself. These gimmicks are easy to make and you will be able to find the materials for the gimmick in your house.

There are some effects which will require more practice (I’m talking in terms of a beginner), such as the “Bottle cap Matrix” which is essentially Chink-a-Chink with coins. Using bottles caps will tend to make the presentation easier. The other effect which will need more practice is “26¢”. This is the transposition of 2 coins in the performer’s hands. There are some simple sleights involved but with some practice, you will be able to do it.

This review is being written with the beginner in mind. Seasoned magicians would know how the effects are done. This volume is highly recommended for beginners. Rating 4/5
