Magic Review - Spirit by Jamie Daws

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a detailed review of 'Spirit' by Jamie Daws, a new trick available from Alakazam. He starts by praising Alakazam's recent move to establish a warehouse in the USA, which benefits American customers with faster shipping and lower costs. 'Spirit' revolves around a 'living or dead' premise, where spectators sort Polaroid-style photos into piles, leading to a surprising reveal where discarded cards spell out a name. David highlights the high-quality props, particularly the convincing Polaroid replicas and their smooth glide when spread. The trick includes a 29-minute tutorial praised for its directness and featuring live performances in various settings. He suggests a parlor or seance-style presentation, noting a slight angle concern to keep a hidden secret concealed. While requiring a small setup, David assures it's easily reassembled. The 'kicker' reveal, where cards spell out 'Living' and 'Spirit' before revealing the chosen name, is a satisfying climax. Overall, David enthusiastically recommends 'Spirit,' appreciating its unique premise, distinct aesthetic, and engaging presentation, considering it 'everything I like in a trick.' He also promotes his other channel, The Magic Channel Card Tricks, for beginner magic tutorials.
