Blur by Mathieu Bich and Garrett Thomas - Review

This video is a detailed review of Bicycle Blur, a new gimmick from Garrett Thomas and Mathieu Bich distributed by Murphy's Magic. The reviewer thoroughly assesses the product's quality, potential, and suitability for various performance settings, ultimately giving it a strong recommendation. Bicycle Blur utilizes a specially printed deck of Bicycle cards (Mandolin GT Speed Readers) to create the illusion that the deck momentarily turns blurry before returning to normal, offering a unique interactive experience for the spectator. The reviewer emphasizes the importance of presentation, advising against belittling spectators and suggesting presenting the deck as a special, slightly unusual deck of cards. A 3-hour tutorial is included, covering a wide range of routines catering to different skill levels, including Garrett's One-Card Selection Routine, Garrett's Three-Phase Routine, Mathieu's Blur Routine, and Dual Reality Routines. The reviewer suggests it's suitable for both social media and close-up strolling magic, and highlights its improvement over previous similar effects due to the quality of the cards and well-thought-out routines. The deck retails for $4 and receives a rating of 92% from the reviewer.
