 WHAT IS A GAFFED CARD? A gaff card is a specially printed card designed to fit in with your NORMAL DECK. Gaff cards allow you to do tricks where cards are: shot, aged, flipped, zipped, fallen, faded, ripped and stuck, box printed, blank, creepy, blacked out, swirled, thumb printed, smudged, inked wrong, mis-made, tagged, transferred, erased, added to, too high, shifted, shattered, fractioned, blurred, and skeletal. There's no way to do all that without having specially printed playing cards. Ellusionist's award winning design team has produced a Gaff Deck full of special art work cards for nearly all types of playing cards: Standard Bicycle, Black Tiger, Ghost. So first you have to have one of those decks. WHY MUST I OWN THIS ARMY DVD? If you don't, you're missing out. Ellusionist has created the ultimate vehicle to train you in the art of using gaffed playing cards. We guide you through every nook and cranny, gully, hill, and valley imaginable. By the time we finish with you, you'll know so much about gaff cards and how to use them, you will be able to go out and astound people in ways you never thought were possible. A FEW EXAMPLES OF TRICKS IN ARMY: - STRANGER CARD: The performer places a BLUE backed prediction card in the spectator's hand, face down. Another spectator takes any card out of the RED backed deck, and he signs it. The card is put back into the deck. With no funny moves, the prediction card is then slowly, slowly turned over to reveal the spectator's SIGNED, selected card-- now with a BLUE back. What the...?!
- PIP MATRIX: Cause the pips (suit symbols) to visually move around the selected card-- culminating with all of the pips jumping to one corner of the card.
- CAPTAIN BLUR: Hold complete control of your spectator's senses. Their chosen card appears to literally go out of focus at your will.
... and tons more. Also includes exclusive, members-only access to the Army of 52 Discussion Forum at Ellusionist. What tricks are people coming up with? Need help on routining your gaff tricks?

QUESTIONS:
- Can I download onto a Mac Computer?
- What is the Video Player Interface?
- How many times will I have to enter my password?
- Why are these security step required?
- Can I play my video on a different computer? What happens if mycomputer crashed a few months from now?

- How much free space do I need to run the Video Player?
Can I download on Mac?
Yes and No. Our downloads will not currently work on a Mac- we recommend buying the DVD. If you are running virtual PC software on your Mac like Parallels, and you have a valid Microsoft operating system, you should be able to view the videos and run the video player interface. What is the Video Player Interface? Video Player is ellusionist's PC-only interface which allows you to view all of your downloaded videos and gives you a bunch of free stuff too. The whole thing is completely free and widely used by more than 150,000 people around the word. You download it and install it to your computer like any other software. It opens on your desktop when you want it to and shows you what magic shows are coming to TV, gives you the free newsletter every two weeks and free tricks and wallpapers for your computer! How many times will I have to enter my Password?
The system is set to ask for your Password the very first time that you attempt to play the video. It is very important that you have downloaded the entire video before attempting to play it. Why are these security steps necessary?
Ellusionist videos are highly successful and desirable. Due to the illegal, unethical trading of Ellusionist's productions over the Internet, we have initiated these security measures to cut down on such activity. This ensures that you'll be able to see even more of Ellusionist's DYNAMITE productions in the future — we've got MUCH more up our sleeves! Can I play my video on a different computer? What happens if my computer crashes a few months from now?
The specialized licensing process that Ellusionist's videos utilize only allows, by default, for playback on ONE computer. Once you play the video on one computer, the video will not be playable on any other computers other than that unit. However, if you save the file to CD after downloading (BEFORE playing it), you can load it onto another computer and play it on there — and it will be registered for playback only on THAT computer. However, note that both computers (even the second one) will need to have Internet access in order to verify your password. Can I copy the video to a DVD?
Yes you can, but only for archival purposes. You will not be able to put the dvd in your DVD player and watch it from your TV. If you want to do that, order the DVD version of our videos instead and you'll be able to view it while sitting on your couch. How much free space do I need to run the Video Player?
Video Player requires 9 MB of free space to install; however, in order to download and play a full video on your computer, you should have at least 400 free MB. If you do not have sufficient free space, we recommend obtaining the video in DVD format. Our Money-Back Guarantee is our personal promise... If you're not fully satisfied with the video, simply return it and we'll refund you with no questions asked within the first 30 days. |

"The DVD: If you have another Ellusionist DVD, then
you'll know the quality and expectations behind this DVD, and it's no
disappointment, great quality great sound, you don't miss a beat.
The Teaching: Wow, not exactly Brad (the man who
could reteach you how to eat with a fork and you'd be impressed) but very very
great teaching, goes into every little detail, and you can tell he has paid
attention to all the little things in his sleights, that he now shares with
you. Justin Miller is awesome.
Performances (BIG): Now, here's what I want to talk
about; when I first got my gaff deck, I figured, hey, this is going to be great
for camera stuff... but there is no way I'm going to be able to perform on the
streets with this. I was dead wrong, Justin goes out and performs about 80% of
the tricks that he teaches you, the others are only because he uses a table. If
you ever thought a gaff trick was impossible on the street, get this DVD and
think again.
Overall: This DVD goes over a lot of stuff, I mean a
TON of stuff, I would have paid more for this DVD, it's a steal for the price
they sell it at, you wont be let down, this should have been NINJA 2, and be
sold for a hell of a lot more than what it is sold for now, if anyone knows and
likes my reviews for things, I only review things I like. I'm giving you
advice, BUY THIS DVD, it's awesome. I love it."
"This video is a goldmine, it has such powerful effects that let you create tricks with the gaff deck you cant even dream of.
Justin goes over everything slowly so it realy doesn't take long to master the effects if you are already a master with cards, but i would say Justin Miller is a very good teacher in magic and you can learn alot from him in this video if you listen carefully.
In case most of you are wondering yes the J. Carpenters impulse change is tought in the video along with many other changes you may be aware of like, the Erdanase change and the Paul Harris Revolve Change, so you realy are getting alot for your money, I highly recomend it, I would give this video a certain 10/10.
One of the most enjoyable color changes in this video I liked is the paintbrush change, Just one word for this change wow, Justin shows you three effects you can do with this change and boy oh boy the change is so powerful I amazed myself.

"The Army of 52 DVD is outrageous value.
The effects are highly visual, real knockouts and many of them are really pretty easy to accomplish. There's really nothing that you need to know that isn't carefully and visually explained on the DVD.
Justin shows some great sleights too, that can be used in many contexts.
Brilliant guys, keep it up. This exceeded even my high expectations of Ellusionist!
