DVD Review: Chicarnery-John Carney

About.com Rating fourhalf out of Five

Everywhere, Nowhere

Everywhere, Nowhere and On Your Face” is an entertaining effect that evokes the classic Hofzinger routine. Here, three odd cards each change into a spectator's selected card and then back into indifferent cards. At the end, the card is found on the magician’s forehead.

The difference here, when compared to standard “card on forehead” effects, is that the audience discovers the card’s end location just as the spectator does. The audience doesn’t know before the spectator.

On the DVD, Carney also offers useful advice on performing the classic pass and side steal. And throughout, he offers excellent and thorough explanations.

John Carney's “Chicarnery” offers a varied set of close-up effects and any one is probably worth the price of this DVD.
