Review of Nothing In Transit (Gimmicks and DVD) by David Forrest – DVD

Reviewed by: Bernard Sim

Wow, a trick using cards and it’s not even a card trick! This is really a very good effect. Most of us has come across at least one version of a moving hole effect. What makes this different from others is that this version is very visual. The size of the hole is not the standard size from a hole puncher. The hole is about the size of an American Quarter. Did I mention that this is very visual? The hole actually moves within the card without the cover of the hands (the movement of the hole is even in slow motion!) and the hole eventually moves to another card. At the end of the routine, the cards can be examined. David Forrest also shows you how to reset the effect which takes only a few seconds. The handling for the overall effect is not difficult as there are no complicated moves.

What you get is a set of well constructed gimmicks with the DVD. Part of the gimmicks will last you awhile whereas other parts of the gimmick will need to be replaced eventually. David Forrest has included 2 routines for this set; he has also included other similar themed routine as part of his bonus routines. The bonus section also includes footage/ routines from his previous DVDs.

If you are a fan of the moving hole plot, this is a must for you. If you don’t have a moving hole routine, this is also a must for you. Did I mention that this is very visual? Highly recommended! Rating 4/5.
