Magic Review - The Apparition of Alexander Hart by Dead Rebel

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a thorough review of "The Apparition of Alexander Hart" by Dead Rebel Magic, a packet trick priced at $32. The effect involves presenting a deck of cards with spirit photography images and a portrait of Alexander Hart. A spectator freely chooses a spirit card, which then transforms into Alexander Hart. David found the trick remarkably easy to learn and perform, mastering it on the same day. He highlights the use of a one-way back design and clever card arrangement, emphasizing the spectator's free choice and the trick's angle-independence. While the trick is generally excellent, David cautions about the gloss paper stock and roughing mixture, which can create visible matte stripes under bright lighting. He recommends careful lighting and presentation techniques, such as keeping the cards in a box or doily. The trick includes a 13-minute instructional video by Liam Montier and features AI-generated vintage spirit photography images. David ultimately recommends the trick, praising its spooky theme, ease of performance, and storytelling potential, especially for those interested in Halloween or Victorian-themed magic.
