This video is a detailed review of 'Blur' by Mathieu Bich and Garrett Thomas, aiming to showcase the trick's visual impact beyond the promotional trailer. The creator emphasizes that the trailer doesn't accurately represent the effect, particularly due to cameras attempting to correct the blurriness. When viewed in person, the contrast between the standard and blurred cards is striking, with a bonus blurred card and blurred court cards included. The review clarifies that the method doesn't rely on the rough and smooth principle, but instead utilizes two clever techniques detailed in the accompanying 2-hour+ instructional video. The creator praises the ingenuity of these methods, allowing for clean displays and various performance approaches, including the potential for a slow-motion effect. Performance possibilities include incorporating it into Eye Exam routines, pseudo-hypnosis, or creating a dual reality effect, inspired by a suggestion from Richie D Magic. Overall, the creator highly recommends 'Blur,' appreciating its clean displays, clever methodology, and the unique visual experience it provides, encouraging viewers to purchase it to fully appreciate its impact.
