Magic Review - Notion of Motion by Angelo Carbone

This video is a thorough review of Notion of Motion, a new rising card effect from Angelo Carbone and Vanishing Inc., presented by David from Magic Orthodoxy. It's a tutorial-style review, walking viewers through the product and its intricacies. The effect allows a spectator to freely name any card from a deck, after which that card mysteriously rises. The core of the effect relies on a precision-made gimmick, a modified version of a classic utility device, requiring careful setup and precise movements. It's a dedicated effect that requires a specific deck and box and is angle-sensitive, not allowing spectators to the sides or behind the magician. The gimmick is not inspectable, and the deck is a 'one-hit wonder.' David offers performance tips, emphasizing practice and suggesting using a voice assistant for training. He highlights that it's 'Miracle level material,' relying on clever mechanics rather than electronics. He also briefly promotes his 'Magic Reveal T-Shirt.' Overall, David enthusiastically recommends Notion of Motion, praising its ingenious method and the level of control it provides, cautioning against rushing into performance and emphasizing the importance of practice.
