What pros says
“John Carey has a knack for creating strong, direct card miracles using simple and devious methods. The routines shine brightly in the real world”
– John Guastaferro
“John Carey is well known within a limited circle in magic for his uncanny ability to apply subtlety and subterfuge to effect magicial moments of the highest order. It appears that now is the time for that circle of knowledge to be expanded… no knuckle busters, no pipe dreams, no angle limitations – these are all real workers”
– Jack Carpenter
“John is an alchemist; he turns moves you already know into the miracles you’ve always wanted to do. Imagine Card at Any Number, Searchers and Pocket Interchange all for the cost of a discrepancy and double lift. He’s also able to squeeze solid, commercial magic out of coins with no wasted effort. Frankly he ticks me off!”
– Kurtis Kam
Reviews
“John Carey’s “Handle With Carey” offers 11 hard hitting routines, all of which are from John’s working material, but often only require basic sleight of hand skills. I found lots to like here. “
Wayne Kawamoto, Magic.About.com 7/19/2011
“Good, solid, commercial close-up magic…Most importantly, the routines are entertaining. The plots are simple and he understands how to build up the climax. As the quote from Jack Carpenter states, “These are real workers for the real world.” I couldn’t agree more.”

“All the tricks are good…this DVD ranks very high on my list.”
