The Clover Project is a DVD collection of three effects from Brian Kennedy and Carl Campbell, two Irish magicians.
Cello-Ollogy is a visual effect, reminiscent of the cards through window illusion. A selected and signed card penetrates through the card box's cellophane. The box can be examined and the card can be signed and kept by the spectator. The gimmick is simple and can be made in a few minutes with the supplied material. The effect is very easy to do, and is really deceptive. The card box can also be checked out at the end of the effect too.
Roulette - this is an extremely deceptive Out of This World effect where the deck can be shuffled all throughout the separation. It uses a similar method to a Bob Solari effect, except the spectator gets to make the decisions, not yourself. Very fooling and the deck can be set up in a minute. The deck, although slightly gimmicked, can be completely and freely used for every other card effect as it really is a regular deck. This is great and it is definitely a magician fooler!
Diffuse - this is my favourite effect on the DVD. A card is selected and signed and placed back into the deck. The deck is then placed into the box, and a ribbon is tied around the box. The signed card then visually appears trapped under the ribbon and can be handed out. Th gimmick takes a little bit of preparation time to create but it should last a long time with due care. The visual looks great and after making my gimmick up, I realised just how brilliant this looks.
Inside the DVD, you receive some of the supplies necessary to construct the gimmicks for Cell-Ollogy and Diffuse. These are good quality and do the job well. The DVD had a few lighting and sound issues and was quiet at some places, however Brian and Carl are great teachers and teach everything really well. I learned everything very easily and started performing the effects instantly.
I loved the concept behind this project, and I really liked the DVD. These effects are strong, hard hitting and impossible. I also loved that the three effects are different so you get variety as well. I enjoyed this DVD and I got some great ideas from it, the tricks taught are workers and audiences will love them. Great stuff. 8.5/10
