"There are some strong effects here which you will certainly use!" BicycleCard Reviews

John Carey has built an international reputation for his streamlined approach to card magic. Simplicity of method and great routining equals great magic that is EASY to do BUT still utterly fooling! On Sweet Simplicity you’ll find ten self working or super easy to do card tricks that will slay any audience. Simple to perform they may be - but the effect on your audience will be KNOCKOUT!

FEATURING:

1 in 52 - Carey’s self working streamlined imaginary deck routine is a total worker.

The trick that can be explained - Carey’s spin on a Dai Vernon classic. Devious!

Technicolor Reset - Four blue backed Jokers transpose in slow motion with four red backed Jokers in an exceptionally clean manner and then immediately transpose back in a flash!



Five Oh?! - Semi automatic card magic on steroids, where you get five effects from practically nothing. Super strong and so much fun!

The Perception Shuffle - A self working false shuffle. Yes, you read that right!

Spectator Star - Make your spectator the star as they shuffle, cut and turn over the aces. Boom!

Somewhere over the rainbow - John’s rainbow deck is a thing of beauty. No sleights, just pure subtlety.

Don’t Make Me Cross - Carey’s ungaffed Brainwave effect where the card they think of is the only odd back card - so cheeky and yet SO strong!

Entrapment - A really cool, self working slow motion sandwich effect that you will love using.

One thought One Spell - A very subtle spelling effect you will want to add straight to your repertoire.

Streamlined, straight-forward, and strong magic from John Carey

John Carey deserves a lot of respect for his prolific contributions, and especially his ability to whittle down tricks to an elegant and stream-lined handling. Some of the tricks in this collection are self-workers, while others rely on clever psychological techniques, such as equivoque.

I especially like the premise of "1 in 52", which is a kind of invisible deck routine, and where your spectator ends up selecting from an imaginary deck the very card that is in your pocket. I also love "Technicolor Reset", which is a stunning colour transposition, and is certainly a strong contender for one of the top tricks from this collection. The range of effects included is quite varied - to name a few: a transposition effect, a prediction effect, a sandwich, a mind-reading trick, a spectator cuts to the aces routine, and a spelling trick.

Sweet Simplicity has only helped enhance the already high regard that I held for John Carey. He has real ability to reduce effects to what really matters, ensuring that they are easy to perform, and yet remain strong in their presentation and performance. If you have a fondness for creators like John Bannon and Nick Trost, then the card magic of John Carey is likely to appeal to you as well.

There is a huge target audience for this kind of card magic, because doesn't almost everyone like the idea of routines with clever plots and powerful magic, without the knuckle-busting moves? Big Blind Media has done us a great service by bringing us more of Carey's magic, with the production quality it deserves. Fans of Carey will almost certainly want to pick this up, while those new to his work will find this an excellent place to get acquainted with the man, and make a new friend and frequent companion. Whether you're relatively new to card magic, or an old hand, you're almost certain to enjoy Carey's Sweet Simplicity.

Actually haven't got around to watching my DVD yet. I'm a card guy but I can do the mentalism bit and say the Carey DVD is superb. John Carey is a rock star when it comes to card magic. I absolutely know I'm going to like the DVD!

More Carey Sweetness!

More easy card magic from the prolific John Carey. His down to earth delivery, practical tips, and friendly audience management strategies make him one of my BBM faves! Especially appreciate his nuanced thoughts on equivoque. Most of these are indeed simple and within reach of beginner card enthusiasts, easy to add to your repertoire quickly.

Well done John!

I'm a huge fan of John Carey and I have some of his books, videos and lectures. I think this is one of the best works of him. In my humble opinion, only the perception shuffle worth the price of the DVD. All the routines are excellent and workable.
