Stone Cold Magic by Jeff Stone and Friends

Magi Cafe Review:

I’ve spent some time exploring Jeff Stone’s latest ebook, and I wanted to share my honest thoughts after testing the material. It’s important to provide genuine reviews rather than just positive feedback for friends. Jeff is a fantastic individual, and while I know him personally, I’ve kept my review impartial.

Now, let’s dive in! For just $7, you receive 76 pages of content, making it an excellent value in the competitive ebook market. However, there’s a catch: the ebook features 9 effects that are also included in the Stone Cold Magic DVD. This ebook serves as a cost-effective way to determine if this style of magic resonates with you without committing to the DVD purchase. Additionally, it beautifully complements the DVD material. As someone who prefers learning through reading, I found this ebook to be a valuable resource.

The book opens with an introduction that was part of the now-unavailable Stone Cold Magic book, along with updates on its status and some background on Jeff and the DVD. While the effects are the same as those on the DVD, the ebook offers extra tips and theoretical insights that aren’t found in the video. I would have happily paid $7 just for those tips!

Tricks:

The trick section begins with explanations of basic sleights, including the pinky break, thumb break, dealer’s grip, and Biddle grip. While advanced magicians might find this information basic, I appreciate the inclusion, as it ensures that not everyone is assumed to have a deep knowledge of magic fundamentals.

Ace Bandage: Four indifferent cards transform into the four aces as they are pushed through the deck. This effect may seem standard, but Jeff’s subtle touches enhance the illusion that the indifferent cards are not aces. Inspired by a classic effect by Le Paul. Rating: 8/10

Dethroned: Four kings are displayed and vanish one by one, only to reappear in a dramatic fashion. This routine flows seamlessly from start to finish and is perfect for table hopping, as it doesn’t require spectator interaction. A solid performance piece. Rating: 9/10

Keep Your Eye on the Joker: The joker magically transforms into the four aces. This quick, visually appealing effect is sure to impress. Rating: 8/10
