magic review hey everybody welcome back to the channel welcome back to magic
wertha doxy welcome back to all of this my name is David I hope you're here
because you like magic tricks magic reviews I love magic I love magic I've
been doing magic for a really long time been collecting playing cards since I
was in high school been doing magic since I was in high school and I'm

so it's just up to how I feel folks today we're gonna look at the extractor
from Peter Nardi and Alakazam all right extractor and it came out it's sold out
and it was like an instant hit everyone went crazy everyone loved it and every
time I sold out a new version would come out later then you know there was
extractor it was extractor version - no there was extractor gold I'm doing the
review for extractor gold right now but I would just say this review would cover
all those variations really because I don't think they made a new DVD I don't
think they made a new training video that went with this so I think this is
the DVD has always been the same they just released new models of the
extractor but again when you go to look for it yourself to purchase it I
wouldn't even bother with oh well I wanted to get I want to wait until
Tuesday out or I want to I want to get gold I wouldn't even worry because
they've all been amazing because I was so late to the game to purchase this you
know I spin on my wish list for a long time but like I said it's been sold out
and a lot of different places I found a place that had it and I immediately
bought it because I knew I knew I wanted this because literally
I've been watching reviews I've been reading all the foreign pages and I
literally cannot find any magician who's ever said I bought this and it was a
waste of money I can't use this everyone who's ever
reviewed this or purchased it has only sung its praises and said just how
absolutely amazing this is I get asked all the time about tricks like what's
the best purchase you know what's the best trick like this is one of those
Gold Star Black Diamond five-star hotel awesome
must have must purchase best purchase of the year types of tricks absolutely
so like I said there was extract direct sector to extractor Gold this was
created by Rob Bromley and Peter Nardi and all the good people down at Alakazam
what is it what is this when you get this what are you buying right this is a
gimmick deck that allows you to pull they sign
card out of the TUC case after it's been loaded in by The Spectator what yeah let
me back that truck up alright so you have a card selected it can be a free
free selection there's no force regular standard deck of cards bicycle cards
though bicycle cards you give them a pen they sign it sign card right sign card
you then have them return their own card you can have you not you're not looking
your back is turned they slide it into the tuck case a mixed
amidst mind you amidst all the other cards and they can put it anywhere top
middle down doesn't matter there's no you're not guiding them oh make sure you
stick it between the arrows right you stick it anywhere you seal it right in
front of them close the flaps take that tuck box put it in your breast coat
pocket and you're done and what you've done it was you've now removed that card
from the box and you are free to put that card anywhere you want we're going
to put it in the card to the wallet you want to do card to envelope card to shoe
the choice is yours this extracts hence the title extractor
this extracts a signed card that the spectator had placed into the
tuck box on their own this is one of those test conditions tricks let's talk
about the review all right so a couple questions you always asked about all of
our magic reviews the first of which is what is in the box now like I said I got
extract or gold so I can't speak for what some of the other ones look like I
believe extractor an extractor 2 came in cardboard box extractor Gold comes in a
tin and I believe with version 2 you get 2 DVDs extractor gold you get one DVD
but I think the one DVD is actually both DVDs burned - the single DVD I think I'm
pretty sure but I think it's the same teaching for all three I don't think you
get a different DVD or different teaching with each extractor set that's
why I don't think it's it's gonna matter which one you get because I think the
teaching is absolutely the same then you're getting the gimmick box gimmick
box okay you're getting the gimmick box and you need that box plus your standard
cards okay so you do have to carry two decks or two boxes I should say two
boxes is it what I thought I figured it had to be an extractor of some sort
right I figured it had to be some sort of device that looked like a standard
deck but wasn't and that pulled that card out somehow but whether it was done
by magnets or rubber bands or invisible string or super glue or popsicle sticks
I had no idea so I kind of figured out the method because they tell you the
method in you know the write-up that what it does but the execution of it I
had no clue how are the angles on this the angles are very clean really the
only side they can't see is the side you're not showing them anyway so you
have the Tuck case facing down and you have the back side facing up and they're
loading it in and then you close up close it up and they can still see that
back you just don't I mean what are you gonna do show the tuck box all the way
around a 360 before you put it away that doesn't even look natural like there's
no even point to doing that why would you even do that like hey look I want to
look at the tuck case one more time like you wouldn't do that you'd you'd do just
like what you do in the trick you put it back in the tuck case put it in your
pocket and you're done so let's keep talking
angles for just a second because to wreak ompletely do what you're supposed
to do in the trick you gotta do some palming now I'm being forthright with
you there and saying you know if you want to do card the wallet card the
pocket card the envelope card to shoe you're gonna do some palming and in in
your head you're thinking uh game I'm signing out right now because I don't do
palming I don't do palming I'm too afraid or I'm too nervous or my hands
are too small yadda yadda yadda yadda I would have made all those same excuses
as well I'm right there with you whenever I buy magic wallets and I've
been buying card to wallets for a really long time I think I've had like six or
eight somewhere in there a lot of them I sell back or they go in
my junk drawer because the beginning of the trick says have a card selected
bring it to the top and plumb it off and I'm like great those are things like if
I have to do all of that why do I get a magic wallet like if I could do that
then how then then card the world is easy like if that's the beginning of the
trick I'm I want something that's easier than that right now you don't have to
control a car to the top because you have extractor so you don't have to do
that let's say you were doing it in the moment right you have the cards out
there in play the cards are in play so you know the spec here is looking down
at your cards looking down at your hands they're burning you and you're trying to
get them to look back up at your eyes right so that you can Palm it off while
they're not looking down but that doesn't mean somebody else isn't looking
down right so you're you're worried and so you're thinking I'm not gonna palm
with the extractor you don't have to worry about the palm all the heat of
your palm is gone and if you're a person that has been afraid of palming but
you've wanted to get better and you've wanted to learn how to do it then I
would say get the extractor because the extractor is gonna give you the
confidence you need to start palming and start plumbing easily because think
about it once the cards are gone they're in a tuck box and the tuck box is now in
your pocket your spectator has relaxed they're not anxiously watching you
anymore because in their minds there's no way you could palm that card off
which gives you all the time in the world to do it and the beautiful thing
about the extractor is you don't have to Palm it off in that moment right the
extractor gets the card ready for you you could put it in your pocket come out
hands clean talk do something else at the pan or post-it notes or flash paper
go back into your pocket to retrieve something else like a pan or something
else or the post-it notes and then come back out with the palm because at that
moment the specular is not even thinking about palming at all so those are your
angles inspect ability there shouldn't be anything left to inspect you're not
gonna bring the Tuck ace back out to inspect that's the only thing they
couldn't inspect by the way it's the tuck ace and they're not gonna ask for
that they've already got the signed card in their hands
they're already blown away nothing's on the table laughed for them to examine so
you're not gonna bring the extractor back out into play what's the overall
quality in production value of the video you got Marc Spelmann and Peter Nardi
they're gonna they're gonna in like a old house or a museum kind of setting
they bounce back and forth between like the corner of a room and a fireplace
oddly enough Marc Spelmann where is a thumb tip through some of the
explanations just to see if you're paying attention the camera follows them
around tracks all their movements and that's nice as far as what they're going
to teach you they're gonna go over what's in the box
they're going to show how the secret works we're going to talk about how
Blackpool went and how it went of them showing the trick around and you know
how that worked and and just the popularity of the effect the history of
the trick they're going to talk about palming it right away their philosophy
on palming and how this is gonna make you more relaxed more comfortable better
at palming then they're gonna go through your tricks they're gonna do card the
pocket first which is really a car to suit jacket pocket and let me just say
all the tricks on this and evolve a suit jacket so they didn't cover anything
about well what if I have like jeans or something else like that they're kind of
hoping that you're gonna be a professional that wears a suit jacket
okay and then they'll even spend some time talking about palming there as well
just to make you a little bit more comfortable
then they'll start hitting a lot of tricks a little quicker so the first one
is Mark Elsdon's mark in my pocket where a card is removed and then once the card
is returned the deck is actually sealed with a sticker and then you are able to
remove the card from the deck there's Chris Congreave's pin trick where you
have the spectator right on the cards that they select so it's not gonna be
their name but maybe they'll write their pin number down or a four-letter word
and you're able to use the extractor as a peak where you not only have removed
their card but you guess the word or the number they do at the beginning then
they'll do Gary Jones that's right trick this one was awesome again it involves a
word so the card is selected the card is lost back in the deck and then the
magician asks for a four-letter word you write that four-letter word on the
post-it note you lay the post-it note on the table and then you pull their card
out from the pocket not only have you removed their signed card but the word
they said after it was put away in the deck is also written on the card then
they'll cover card to shoe which is exactly what it sounds like you remove a
folded card from your shoe and it is their signed card impossible prediction
is another one of the big whammies on this there's a red deck and a blue deck
and what you do is you have the card selected from one color so let's say
they select it from red its return to red red is put away you pull out blue
you go through the blue deck every single card is a new deck order except
for their card which is reversed in the deck and when you pull it out it
actually has a red back and it's their signed card they're signed card jumped
from one deck to the other reversed itself and it's in a completely
different deck then they'll do a lighter version of impossible prediction which
is just a brain wave trick which is the same as the above trick except you
wouldn't do it in new deck order and you wouldn't do it as a sign card then
they'll do a trick called sealed prediction which is really discard to
envelope they'll talk about how to do this trick with the assassin wallet
there's another one that Marc Spelmann does call
loan card where you again have two decks a red and a blue the magician selects
one you select one the magician puts one color of his deck in his pocket so let's
say he selects one blue card puts that in his pocket The Spectator selects one
red card it's put away in the deck and then when you go to your pocket and pull
out that one blue card it is the card that they selected then they'll do a
card - spectators pocket they'll cover a topic idea and then they'll talk about a
card to a gimmicked wallet idea is it well made it's very well made I don't
even know how this thing was made I own it now and I would not even know how to
make another one like I tried to break this like literally spent $80 on this
and then tried to break it I was like how would I stick what if the spectator
stuck the card in the top or the middle or the bottom of the book like I
couldn't find a way to make this jam up or not work this thing is gonna work
every single time and it looks gorgeous how much practices that require I know
you're kind of already like but I have to learn how to palm let's say you don't
want a palm let's say you don't want a palm here's a trick that is kind of like
a mishmash of some of the other tricks that were covered on the DVD here's a
trick you could do immediately after having purchased it with no practice and
no palming okay let's say you give the cards to the spectator they can look
through the cards see that they're all different they can have one selected
okay you take the cards back hand them a pen they sign their card blow on it make
sure it's dry right card is put back in to the extractor okay put it back into
the deck you then put the card deck away in your breast coat pocket and then you
read their mind and you just say your card was think about your card it was
read a high card low card Jack Jack of Diamonds right Jack of
Diamonds and you just read their mind you didn't do anything
there's no palming yet you didn't do anything and they're like yeah that was
it and you say all right get out your watch and let's count see how fast I
could find your card you reach into your pocket and just pull the card out like
that how fast was that four seconds okay you just did two tricks back-to-back a
mental reading and then a quick find you didn't have to do any palming at all
because there's no problem involved in that and you could literally do that
trick immediately after having purchased it with no practice set up and reset is
nothing the extractor goes back in one pocket and the rest of your cards go
back in the other pocket put your pan in another pocket and you're off to the
races positives I think I've said enough positives about this like I think you've
heard all my positives throughout this whole thing you want this you need this
if it you know you know let's put the negatives right up here with it the
negatives are you kind of need a suit jacket so that kind of means maybe
you're in those kind of environments it's 80 bucks you know how much is it is
it worth your money it's 80 dollars so it's a little bit more so chances are if
you wear a suit jacket and you can afford an $80 trick you're probably an
industry professional you're probably making a living doing this so I think
really that's the who would like this are those people that kind of work in
that area and I I don't I don't wear a suit jacket that often I really don't
but I have them I have a suit jacket and there are opportunities where I do wear
a suit jacket so I think anytime I know I'm gonna wear a suit jacket the
extractor is gonna be the gimmick I take with me no matter what no questions
asked all right so I hope I said enough
awesome things about the extractor to give you an idea about how great it is
I quickly searched around to try to see if there was still some out there and
there are so my good friends down at hocus-pocus calm still have this in
stock they have the extractor to I believe which is an awesome gimmick
awesome set so I would expect by the time this week is over they'll be sold
out because I spilled the beans and let everyone know they're out there so
quickly head on down to hocus-pocus comm purchased this before everybody else
does because I wouldn't think that we could actually drain their supply of
this by the end of the week because it's it's that awesome you want this thanks
